As usual, Albarn's senses are keen on THE GREAT ESCAPE. The snide humor behind "Mr. Robinson And His Quango" rubs shoulders with the desperation of "He Thought Of Cars," all the while dwelling on what they hope to escape.

ReviewsIncluded in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums of the 1990s.", 6 - Reasonably Good - "...Blur turns the rotating-robot staccato silverware clank of manlier Limeys like Elastica...into dance oriented pop muzik. When it's swirling fast and busy, it's wonderful...", Bloody Essential - "...Blur's fourth album (theirs is now the most interesting career since Joy Division metamorphosed into New Order) is more robotic than rock, less Kinks than Kraftwerk....Blur understand the geometry of the song, and the basic principles of pop, better than anyone today....The experimental hits just keep on coming...", Included in Q's 50 Best Albums of 1995., Ranked #10 on Melody Maker's List of 1995's `Albums of the Year.', Ranked #9 in Nme's `Top 50 Albums of the Year' for 1995., 5 Stars - Indispensable - "...THE GREAT ESCAPE's rich tapestry is matched by music of kaleidoscopic surprises--half punk and half pop-psychedelic in its influences, restlessly innovative in its execution...", 9 (out of 10) - "...If Noel Oasis' strength derives from an ambition to be the John Lennon of his generation, then Blur want to be Lennon AND McCartney. Which means THE GREAT ESCAPE is so rammed with tunes, ideas, emotions, humour, tragedy, farce, and edgy beauty that's it's utterly beyond contemporary compare..."

Great album - why two discs
Blur’s album is fantastic. My only gripe is why they released it on two discs. This is a bit en vogue for rereleases if 90s albums on vinyl at the moment and I just don’t get it. Every three songs you have to get up to spin it over. As a result, it’s not one you’ll put on a lot because of the hassle involved in playing it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
