Advantages: Some of the best songs Blur has ever written

Disadvantages: Slightly overblown album, Too many tracks.

"Parklife" is Blur's third release, with the title track being one of their biggest hits. It includes another of the band's biggest hits "Girls and Boys", but i believe that the best moments of this album are found in the other tracks. This album includes my favourite Blur song of all time "This Is A Low", I was lucky enough to experience this song live a few weeks ago and it was incredible, such an emotional, overwhelming and anthemic song (well it is including in the Glastonbury Anthems DVD!). Other highlights for me include the story telling "Tracy Jacks", the HUGE "End of a Century", the sweet brassy "Badhead" and the romantic "To The End".

The only bad thing I would say about this album is it is slightly overblown, there is too much on it, and too much filler, but it includes some of my favourite Blur tracks so I would definately recommend it.

Summary: Yet another brilliant and essential Blur album.
