I see the line from The Kinks to Blur from this album with a small nod the The Jam though they lack the toughness of The Jam. The album starts of very strongly on three opening tracks, loses it's way for a little after that but soon finds its way agin with the fine To the End and keeps the moment through to the epic sounding This is a Low. A fine album that seerms to sum up the history of British pop music quite nicely. 4 stars
