Blur Blur - Premium Quality Product for Online Shopping | Perfect for Home, Office & Gifting

Damon Albarn prefaced the release of Blur by denouncing Britpop as a tattered flag, almost daring the U.K. media to burn him in effigy. He’s declared an allegiance with Pavement and Beck, wistfully envying their disregard for commercial concerns.

But no amount of gratuitous distortion or mumbling could disguise the truth that, in attempting to embrace their public perception as big losers, Blur stumbled over the most accomplished record of their career.

The opener “Beetlebum” is thrillingly devoid of Cockney stage enunciation or waspish social observation. Instead, it’s a lilting “White Album” homage with Albarn expertly executing a keening Lennonesque key change.

Despite their traitorous pronouncements, Blur’s highlights are consistently British-bred. “Strange News From Another Star” is “Space Oddity”—suckled, glazed-eyeball pop psychedelia and “Theme From Retro” is the sort of dubby, debased lounge music Jerry Dammers used to strive for.
