    I've got weird feeling about this album. I adore some of the songs (esp. He Thought Of Cars and The Universal) and totally dislike other (like Country House or Entertain Me).

    Interesting that the album has very positive professional reviews while the fans don't like it that much, they prefer MLIR or Blur, or 13 more. I think the Great Escape is a gem; it sounds more obscure than Parklife, almost the whole album is about being lonely, it is often melancholic...I think musically and lyrically it's a brilliant work. It reminds me often of Genesis' brilliant prog rock gem, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. It's as good as MLIR, it's different, you just can't compare the two.

    this one is really underrated, after all it has the great hit Universal! and Best days, He thought of cars, Entertain me... some of the best forgotten Blur songs

    I was going to ask the same thing, tommyhaych.

    This album destroys every other Blur album. The production is great, they perfected the songwriting approach of the previous two albums without having given way to the need to be cool that pervaded the next two. Plus, it's mental. THE (only) perfect Britpop album
