Blur - Parklife

"I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen"

While not my favourite Blur album, it is quite good. I've always been more partial to 13, Blur, and Think Tank, which apparently is very American of me to prefer those albums to Parklife and Modern Life is Rubbish. However that is in no way me slighting this album in any way, I simply heard the other ones first. I've always thought Blur was certainly more creative and artistic than their Brit Pop rivals. I liked how they intentionally tried to mix up their sound, not only from album to album, but from song to song. Case in point, "This is a Low", "Parklife", "Girls and Boys", and "Trouble in the Message Centre" sound like songs from a completely different band each time.
