The way lyrics come out in the chorus is rather appealing as well. Despite the depressing story this is another tune that grows on you over time due to its decent blend of instruments. TROUBLE IN THE MESSAGE CENTRE is pretty good as well, mainly because -well to me at least- the old-school techno sounding notes in the verses are reminiscent of a SEGA Mega Drive video game.ĬLOVER OVER DOVER is about suicidal man planning to jump off the cliffs of Dover, but wants to make sure he's wrapped up any loose ends in his life before doing so. Also we have LONDON LOVES, a rock tune where the drums and guitars work beautifully in tandem while talking about a rich man and his liking of speeding around London in a flashy motor car. The delicate mixture of rock and classical make it a good night time listen. TO THE END appears to be about being immature and drunk. The faint use of violins in the background adds to its liveliness and makes it worth several plays. Both songs are upbeat, bring back fond memories of the 90's, and are simply great.Īlso on the list of "must hear" songs we have TRACY JACKS, a lively piece of light rock about a middle aged guy going through a mid life crisis. The former is a disco-ish track about being on holiday, having fun and trying to get laid and while the latter is more spoken than sung it's a true blue cockney anthem that will make every Londoner stand up, salute and generally feel proud of where they come from. Two of the best tracks on the album are two classic pieces that have been played numerous times on the radio and on music channels, GIRLS AND BOYS and PARKLIFE. This will happen quite a few times, trust me. Soon you'll find yourself listening to the album "just one more time" just to find out if your ears will fall in love with any particular tune. One playthrough and there's a tune that gets stuck in your head. The appeal of "Parklife" is that it's an album that gets stronger and stronger the more you hear it. Oasis would hit the scene that same year. But "Parklife" was where the band really found its mojo, and the timing couldn't have been any better. " Leisure " was good but lacked the punch needed to make it super duper great, while " Modern Life Is Rubbish " was let down by several tunes that sounded too similar to one another. Released in 1994 it marked a strong upturn in both the popularity of the London band and the quality of the songs they produced. "Parklife" was the third studio album from Blur.
