On Your Own Theme From Retro You re So Great Side 2Death Of A Party Chinese Bombs I m Just A Killer For Your LoveLook Inside America Strange News From Another Star Movin On Essex Dogs Blur is the fifth studio album by the English rock band of the same name, released on 10 February 1997 by Food Records.
Blur had previously been broadly critical of American popular culture and their previous albums had become associated with the Britpop movement, particularly Parklife 1994 , which had helped them become one of Britain s leading pop acts.
After their previous album, The Great Escape, the band faced media backlash and relationships between the members became strained.Under the suggestion of the band s guitarist, Graham Coxon, the band underwent a stylistic change, becoming influenced by American indie rock bands such as Pavement.
Recording took place in London as well as in Reykjav k, Iceland.
Drummer Dave Rowntree described the music on the album as being more aggressive and emotional than their previous work.
Producer Stephen Street claimed that lead singer-songwriter Damon Albarn had started writing about more personal experiences while Coxon revealed that listening to his lyrics it was clear to him that he d obviously gone off his head a bit more .Despite worries from Blur s label, EMI, and the music press that the change in style would alienate the band s predominantly teenage fanbase and that the album would flop as a result, Blur, as well as lead single, Beetlebum , reached the top of the UK charts and the album was certified platinum.
The album also reached the top 20 in six other countries.
The success of Song 2 led to Blur becoming the band s most successful album in the US where the Britpop scene had been largely unsuccessful.
The album received positive reviews from most music critics, many praising the stylistic change as well as Albarn s improved songwriting.
