murray_TH Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Finally got round to buying this having had an illicit copy for years...What a great album, and probably their best. Love Graham Coxon's guitar, totally underrated and a shame he left them. His solo stuff's never really done much for me.Top tracks, for me :Coffee and Tv1992Bugman (particularly the great riff towards the end)Trimm TrabbAnyone else love this album?...If you've clicked here by mistake and truly hate them, try here for some Cats In Toupees instead.

Pico Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 "Trimm Trabb" is crazy, I love it."Battle", "Bugman" and "No Distance Left to Run" are also great. "Coffee & TV" is classic. Fine album.By the way, Damon and Graham are pals again, they were spotted alongside each other at the premiere of Albarn's Monkey opera or something, apparently they're friends again. Since they've both expressed interest in working together, we could probably see another Blur album in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Patten Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Very experimental album from Blur.As mentioned it has some good songs on it, mine are; Trimm Trabb, Battle, Coffee & Tv and No Distance Left To Run. Surprised to see nobody's mentioned Tender as it's one of Blur's best.But everybody knows Parklife is Blur's best album.P.S - I see Think Tank mentioned, everyone here knows about Me White Noise don't they?, it's the bonus track featuring Phil Daniels that you can hear by rewinding the CD as soon as the 1st song Ambulance comes on. It's pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheConstant Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Very good album. I actually like "Blur" and "Parklife" better, but this is still good. "Coffee and TV" has a great video, and the director recently made "Son of Rambow", which is way underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
