I have been looking for this CD for some time and was very glad to be able to purchase it off of ebay. I personally like all 15 tracks and would recommend it to anyone that likes British Pop.
I only bought the album for the track "The Universal". I thought that Blur sold out with this album (I mean, "Country House" says it all). Everything else they've done is fantastic, but they were clearly believeing their own hype and it was far too poppy. Their worst album, and only saved by the odd track or two.
I am a huge OASIS fan & everyone can remember the brit pop battle between the two bands. I of course backed Oasis in the fued, however a few years have past now & I thought it was time to try to open my ears to Blur.
Nothing I heard on this album even began to make me doubt my decision that Blur were the lesser of the two bands.
It certainly was a case of Blur won the battle but Oasis won the war.
