| | Amazon.co.uk: Leisure: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | Leisure certainly has its moments, though, and when they come, they're quietly stunning: "Sing" (later revived for the Trainspotting soundtrack) is a crystalline clatter, guided through huge psychedelic rain clouds by Alex James' wandering bass; even today, it sounds one of Blur's most beautiful moments. |
 | | While it may be fashionable to dismiss this album, and the band themselves may wish to distance themselves from it somewhat due to their circumstance at the time, the music on Leisure is still (to my ears) quite good. |
 | | Because of this, Leisure was always the Blur album to play last - what with the sound being fairly disconnected from the bombastic pop of the albums yet to come - though, at the time, I probably would have argued it's place in the greatest albums ever list, just off the strength of the singles. |
