I haven't listened to this album in around a year so I won't talk about it in depth, but I'll talk about the singles at least:

Larkin, Colin (2011). The Encyclopedia of Popular Music (5th conciseed.). Omnibus Press. ISBN 978-0-85712-595-8. Stephen Street – production on "There's No Other Way", "Bang", "Slow Down", "Repetition", "Bad Day", "High Cool" and "Come Together" She's So High: Overall this is a really great song, but the lyrics are a little underwhelming compared to some of their later songs. Pretty much just the same chorus sung over and over again. But what a great guitar solo by Graham Coxon. Sounds like something straight out of "I'm Only Sleeping" by the Beatles. Great bassline too. Formed in London in the late 1980s, Blur have been through a number of stylistic changes during their musical journey. Initially inspired by the Stone Roses and the so-called Madchester scene, a shift towards a revitalised 'classic' British guitar pop saw them achieve huge success in the early to mid-1990s. Parklife (1994) put them in the vanguard of Britpop, battling for supremacy with Oasis. Solo works, Gorillaz, Fat Les, Ailerons, The Good The Bad & The Queen are off the table for comprehensive review, but occasionally worth mentioning in passing.

Leisure" is an intriguingly deceptive title that sparks a fascinating contrast against the album’s pulsating and vibrant sound. Its name hints at restfulness and relaxation, yet the music unleashes a landscape replete with driving rhythms, vibrant melodies, and a delightful textural complexity. This paradoxical presentation offers a thrilling twist that heightens the intriguing aura of the album. Britpop Boons: The Birth of an Icon The original version of "Sing", entitled "Sing (To Me)", was recorded as a demo in late 1989 under the band's former name, Seymour, and can be heard on the ultra-rare promo-only single which was released over a decade later in February 2000 and on the first of a 4-disc set with rare material in the Blur 21 box set. I still like Leisure though and kept up with Blur when they were incredibly unfashionable, buying the Popscene 12" and Modern Life Is Rubbish LP on day of release. The progression was incredible. There's No Other Way: Love this one. Clearly the best song from "Leisure", and it fits right in with their Britpop material in my opinion. Overall this song handles the baggy scene much better than "She's So High" imo, and it has a killer guitar riff by Graham. The lyrics are also very indicative of their later stuff and have improved a lot since their first single. And Damon's hair in that video is amazing.
