Parklife
by Blur
I had never listened to this album. I kinda like. I think it’s quite good. Very peppy and poppy. Given the year it came out it wasn’t quite as “grunge” as the other stuff that was popular, at least in the States where I was. More specifically west coast. This type of music wasn’t getting played as much on popular radio. It certainly should have been. It has a very eclectic type of sound in the pop realm of things. The band shows a lot of range here. The punky pop sensibility of this album shows a sophistication in their writing. I’m really surprised at how well produced this is and they seem to really be enjoying the exploration and freedom that production brings. In all it’s a very good record.
