Time to enter the dream world of Blur in those youth choirs, those boots Martins and these poles Fred Perry, in that self-confidence and a desire to sleep with as many girls possible and in such steps festivals in the UK doing most vibrant group assistant and participant in these concerts in slums crummy leaving 100 people shocked the shift. Ladies and gentlemen, we 1991 and we are witnessing the debut album by Blur , one of the best groups that has given the United Kingdom.
When thinking Leisure me constantly comes to mind a fresh and lively youth waves and a huge desire to have fun heciendo music something that thousands of groups of friends have tried once, but that only a few like Blur have combined with enormous talent and, therefore, have failed. It is true that it is their best album, much less, in fact the very Damon Albarn has said that along with "The Great Escape (1995 ) are the two worst records the band. I do not know if I'll be right because none of the Blur albums and I feel bad, of course, what follows is an energy that would continue the " Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993 ) y el " Parklife " ( 1994 ), sus dos mejores trabajos, y que iría perdiendo fuerza después con trabajos como el " 13 " ( 1999 ) o el " Think Tank " ( 2003 ) donde se ve una clara ruptura con un pasado genial y un giro hacia nuevas historias de menor calidad, quizás. Los años noventa, por tanto, son la cima de la banda y el pistoletazo de salida, este " Leisure ", de ahí su importancia.
Visto que no es un album que destaque en la discografía de Blur por su calidad, voy a centrarme en lo meant and how it Blur were at that time. For this I recommend you dig out the video "Starshaped (1994 ) where you will see, according to the synopsis of the three years hidden camera on the road with Blur, from Reading 1991 through the dark years of the EEC in 1992 and to the Modern life and discover that most teenagers about Blur acustumbrarse trying to have a camera follow them in their concerts, festivals, their fights etc . It is also a document to see how they were by Blur live then. Not very good, indeed, especially Albarn has never been known for having a great voice.
Highlights:
- The letters . I do not know whether for better or worse because they are not great writing, but accurately reflect the youthful spirit of the disc. Read " Fool," "She's so high " or " There's No Other Way ('re Taking the fun / Out of Everything / I do not want to think at all )
- " Repetition "and how well each instrument is side by side (to the voice!) Ship
