Blur

Wow I strongly disliked this album. It sounds like random garage metal that didn't fit together and often vaguely/strangely reminded me of other songs I've already heard of.

Worse than Oasis, not one good song. Still this horrible mix that destroys the dynamic range.

I don't want to spend more time on this than I already have. Its whatever. Some songs were annoying, some were eh. Only decent song was Death Of A Party. Best song: Death Of A Party

with the exception of Song 2, mostly uninterested

Other than track 2 - this album was not my vibe! Song 2 seems to be an outlier to the entire album.

I guess someone thinks this is spectacular? I couldn't even get through it.

I poked around, and I think the NAM version of Blur is Pavement. This album played long after my enjoyment for it ended. The only song I didn't hate on this album was Song 2, and I didn't love it.

I actively did not like this album. I kept looking at the song list and thinking "is it over yet?" The first 2 songs started off okay, and I thought "Maybe I was wrong about Blur". Nope. Same opinion. What would this be equivalent to in North America, since this is considered "Brit-pop"? Green Day? Third Eye Blind? Or is more along the lines of Nirvana, Soundgarden? Anyway, this is a terrible album.

An unappealing blur is the best way to describe Blur. Overly long with one song worth listening too.

noniin vhidoinkin täyttä paskaa, vähän menny yläkanttiin viimeaikoina arvostelut. woo-hoo. tällähän ei ole ollenkaan arvoa musiikkimaailmassa, ei pahemmin kun kävellä ohi ja ivailla vähäsen kun tämmöstä näkee. woo-hoo. kammottavintahan on se että vielä yksi albumi tältä porukoilta tulossa ja pelottaa, pelottaa pimeät yöt tämän takia. woo-hoo. blurs unique and unmistakable sound, niin pari sanaa voisi sanoa tuosta mutta ehkä kävelen vaan ohi ja pikkasen ivailen mielummin kun tuhlaan tätä rajattua aikaani mitä täällä nyt sattuu olemaan. woo-hoo. haista blur paska olet turha bändi hyödytön ja tylsä, kuuntelijanne ovat vain pehmeitä päästä ja unohtaneet miltä oma olemus tuntuu ja seuraavat kavereita esittävät kiinnostuneita niin paljon että vakuuttavat itsellekkin että mukamass tykkäävät tästä. woo-hoo. thme from retro

No listening pleasure, unspectacular and boring.

Nah

I'd rather not, just like nirvana sounds like band practice of any angsty teenage band, shit, out of tune, lackluster musical talent

Too British, too much trying to act cute, all of the instruments blend together like a pavement song but not cool

Não consigo gostar de brit pop. Enjoa-me profundamente

Meh

Really not a fan

Day 5 - Blur's Blur This was fine. None of the tracks impressed me, and I only found a couple that I wanted to skip. I was starting to get really bored by the end. Song 2 is an old favorite, so I'm biased for that. But I still have to give it a 1/5 because that's the only song I particularly enjoyed out of the 14.

Oo song 2

Painfully long (and I'm talking about the shorter, original version, not the Special Edition - - why anyone would want over 2 hours of this drivel is beyond me). First song was okayish, second is well-known but that doesn't make it "good", the rest was just awful

Was mediocre at best, not my taste

> song2

No thanks. I don’t understand this album being one of the 1001 albums.

I can't even describe how bad this is. 1 star F-.

angole, jeden popularny utwor z fify i reklam i to by bylo na tyle

I can do without this album.

i dont really like blur tbh

Noisy

that gorillaz guy sounds really congested beetlebum

Irgendwie nicht. Gleichzeitig langweilig UND irritierend.

boring

Look, it’s not that I don’t get it, I just genuinely do not like it.

vocals are awful. Sounds like these "musicians" are playing different songs at the same time; no flow, no balance, nothing cohesive in what I was willing to listen to. There isn't a Zero Star rating so I guess I'll have to go with 1 Star sadly

Not for me

Did not like

Yikes

quite forgettable you could say it was a blur

i forgot that Damon Albarn is the frontman for Blur. i am actually usually a huge fan of his music, but he gets 1 star because of the shady shit he said about Taylor Swift. i will only pirate his music from now on.

I sure am glad that hour of my music listening is over 👎

Even though I recognized one song (Song 2), it’s not a song that I’d at as a favorite and the rest of the album isn’t something I’d consider re-listening to.

Its just not that good. Song 2 is great ofcourse

I never listen tot he actual album. a surpise to find the first track on the album a homage to Beetles (admitedlhy, if it werent for this lits I'd barely know the Beetles). Woo hoo for song 2. but the rest ? it is bitish shite rock whine... and some gjuitar noise.

A couple of the songs here are fun, but this album is a mess. It feels like they just said 'let's do a 'punk' one now'; 'Oh, now let's do Sonic Youth'. The only thread through this is Damon's mockney warbling. It's pop music - please stop pretending it's anything more. Yes, especially you, Mr Albarn.

“Beetlebum” was a catchy song to start on. “Song 2” is a dumb name for a song even if it is the sEConD sOnG oF tHe aLBuM. SO F*CKIN BRITISH. “You’re so Great” was not so great. I wish this album went by in a BLUR but at this point I still have seven songs to go. Why are there SO MANY??? The last song “Essex Dogs” was just 8 minutes of Damon whispering sweet nothings into my ears. Would not recommend to a friend. 2/10.

Stop giving me absolute mid euro rock. Song 2 is just ok. The rest I literally skipped through.

Did not enjoy other than their famous song.

"Beetlebum" seems to invoke The Beatles' sound. "Country Sad Ballad Man" is reminiscent of Beck. Is this what the English listen to? I found the lyrics to he mostly immaterial or unrelatible, the music simple, and the vocals boring... what I imagine Jack White's catalogue must sound like. "Strange News from Another Star" reminds one of what Bowie's take on Soundgarden's "Blow Up the Outside World" might have sounded like, and is a nice chuck of gold amongst pyrite.

One grest song does not a good album make. Song 2 is steeped in nostalgia of listening to Much Music's compilation album Big Shiny Tunes 2 in middle school. Other than that song, this whole album is a steaming pile of shit. I almost didn't get through it today. I had to listen in sections because it was just so truly awful. Overall, utter trash. No redeeming qualities. 1 star for Song 2. Favourite songs: Song 2 Least favourite songs: I'm Just a Killer for Your Love, Theme from Retro, Chinese Bombs, Strange News from Another Star, Movin' On, Essex Dogs 1/5

I really hated this album. Blur is not my thing. This album sounded like if the Gorillaz were bad. I literally didn't like one song on it.

Didn’t enjoy this album.

Ну чёт вообще никак... 4/10...

biisi 2 copied??.. heard somewhere else... song 6 good too..... Album.. shit...

I don’t remember ever hearing of this group. I don’t really like this type of music but for some reason the beginning of “Song 2” was really familiar to me. But I don’t know why or where/when. Couldn’t stand to listen to the whole album. Sorry, Blur…

I paused the album to listen to rammstein's keine lust. that's a great song. listen to that instead. -55 minutes/5 song 2 oasis is way better

gave it one star only because zero isn't an option

3 keer niks, wat heb ik toch (over het algemeen) een hekel aan punk.

Boe Boe Boe

Bad. They have their One Hit Wonder song on this album, and it really is the only hit on here. I like this genre but it seems... Lazy? It's just not for me.

While this album may have had some impact when released, it is entirely unremarkable and certainly does not belong amongst the top 1001 albums.

Blur is the prime example of how most Britpop actually sucked, but record labels couldn't help themselves after Oasis hit it big. A full fucking hour of this shit. And fuck Damon Albarn - Gorillaz fucking sucked too. 1/5.

Wish I could say WOOHOO to this album, but what a snooze fest. One memorable track, but was bored the rest. Nothing popped out memorable at all

Blech. Very generic.

SHITE LIIIIIIIIFE

This music did not touch me. I have no connection or reference point to it.

i didn’t like a single song on this album… sorry. actually maybe one but it was so unmemorable and amidst all the other terrible noises it does nothing to redeem itself. it sounded like they chunked a whole bunch of god awful noises together to make a song. just no.

In retrospect, this was a load of old pump, wasn't it? The most half-finished, half-baked sounding album encountered on this app so far, despite it dragging on for an hour.

Song 2 is the only song I liked. The rest just seemed to whine on and on. I would put blur in the one hit wonders mix.

This album was difficulty to listen too. I can not believe that this album should be on this list or that this band influenced music some how. I thought "Song 2" was an Offspring song. It was the only song I recognized or could understand, but this is not saying much as I though it sucked then and now.

Listened to this first time since my mid-late teens. It's been a struggle to not skip certain songs. Based solely on this album - I don't enjoy Blur. Don't have any songs I've enjoyed listening to either, it all seemed like white noise to me.

I was hoping that not the whole album would be as annoying as the obnoxious "Song 2". That hope didn't come true. It's chaotic, noisy, senseless and really pretty much without redeeming qualities. I gave up halfway through the fifth track.

Bande kojarze, ale kto nie zna bandy od muzyki znanej kazdemu od znawcow kina, graczy fifki, czy ogladaczy reklam, bo song 2 byl chyba wszedzie i juz samo uslyszenie tego utworu wywoluje odruch wymiotny, o ile jestem fanem innego projektu wokalisty blurowego, goryli, to tak ten albumik mi strasznie nie lezy, granie jak u punkow, spiewanie jak w popularnym roku, no i brytyjskie akcenty, az ciezko mi cos dodac na plejliste, ale dodam country sad ballad man, bo chyba tam najbardziej slysze obecny styl damona, czyli 2D

Els Blur sempre m'han semblat un grup de bons singles, però d'àlbums més aviat discrets. Aquest cinquè disc no n'és una excepció. Va ser el més exitós de la seva carrera, en bona part gràcies als dos temes inicials, "Beetlebum" i sobretot "Song 2". El primer és per mi una de les seves millors cançons, em sembla molt inspirada i en el seu moment va resulta sorprenent venint d'ells. En tot cas, un cop passada la sorpresa inicials d'aquestes dues composicions inicials, el disc cau en picat i no aconsegueix remuntar el vol. S'agraeix l'intent de dotar de més protagonisme a les guitarres, inspirant-se en el rock independent dels EEUU, però l'àlbum es fa llarg i molt, molt pesat, com gairebé sempre em passa amb ells. Si no fos pels dos primers temes, seria un disc oblidable.

You gave up quick
