This album meant so incredibly much to me around the time it came out, and now I feel like I struggle to remember how any of these songs went. It was such a time and a place, and that time is gone and I no longer live in that place.
has anyone made the "Country Bad Salad Man" joke yet?

Man I love this album. Not really a Blur fan otherwise, parts of 13 notwithstanding. Love the sound of this thingwould’ve voted death of a party probably. theme from retro is rad, Essex dogs is rad.. mor is rad... oh man

As a wee American I was sorta perplexed by blur before this album came out. It seemed like.. extremely English music by English people for English people or something.. a real stark contrast to Oasis’ thing (the only context I ever heard mentioned pre-97 was on MTV re oasis beef). idk this is probably gibberish.

Not much of a fan, but I love "You're So Great."

I haven't really listened to this album in the last 20 years, but I still often come back to All Your Life and Dancehall, both much better than anything on the LP imo.

my favorite part of the album is probably the outro to “beetlebum”... the way Graham bends the third note of his guitar part and how it meshes with each chord in the progression.. really sets my heart a flutter

Polished Stone is also a fantastic B-side from this time
