Advantages: Flows as a complete album, not a dull moment

Disadvantages: I honestly can't think of a single one

"Modern Life Is Rubbish" has a special place in my heart. It is where i believe "early" Blur were at their best. This was when Blur was all about energy, loud guitars, catchy tunes but also being unique- the guitar tremelo effect on "Oily Water", it doesn't follow predictable chord sequences, the harmonies on "Blue Jeans", The intermission at the end of "Chemical World", the fast section on "Sunday Sunday". It also has one of the best run of tracks on a single album ever, and its a long one at that... "Blue Jeans", "Chemical World/Intermission", "Sunday Sunday", "Oily Water", "Miss America" and "Villa Rosie" All in a row! I suppose that's what makes this album great also - I do not get bored with it and I love listening to it all the way through, there is not a dull moment. As soon as you hear "For Tommorow" opening the album, I know I'm in for a treat - I am listening to one of the best albums of the 90's.

Summary: Blur have found their feet.
