A few years ago now, Blur and Oasis were rivals in the battle for musical supremacy. These days Oasis have stolen the spot light, but I still hold on to the thought that once those cocky beatles rip offs were being given a run for their money. The album that gave Blur their breakthrough was of course Parklife. The opening track from Albarn and company, is Girls & Boys, a mid nineties dance ensemble. Tracy Jacks is a song written in true Blur style, more rock based than Girls & Boys. Parklife, the title track, you have probably heard before at least once. Far Out was written by Alex James, and is essentially a weird song with little tune. Despite this, it is incredibly catchy. There are sixteen tracks on this album, but the majority are very similar. For all of those that wish to know the track names, here you are: Girls & Boys, Tracy Jacks, End Of A Century, Parklife, Bank Holiday, Badhead, The Debt Collector, Far Out, To The End, London Loves, Trouble In The Message Centre, Clover Over Dover, Magic America, Jubilee, This Is A Low and Lot 105.
