  Blur: Parklife ---Ink Blot Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Parklife pulled them out of the indie ghetto and into the British tabloids, but a foolish, if fun battle with Oasis overshadowed 1996's The Great Escape.
Albarn abandons the safe outcropping of critical distance - Parklife is a message of good faith to a generation, and an invitation to sing along.
It didn't, of course -- this is a shamelessly pop (and populist) record, and arriving as it did in Britain after three years of shoegazing, grunge, and ambient techno, the boldness of Blur's conceptual pop statement cannot be overestimated.

 [No title]
Parklife fuses U2, Wilco, Supergrass and Kerouac to create its relentlessly engaging sound, and plays every note with a reckless abandon that reveals a band desperately clinging to the belief that popular music should be more about communal experience than test marketing.
The resulting Parklife's debut EP, “Lonely Eyes and Amsterdam.” was the last project to be recorded at the fabled studio.
Parklife is currently on the road playing shows to support its release of the "Someday Lovesong" EP, a three-song sampler from "a sampler from “Songs from the Imperial Hotel,” which includes the single “Someday Lovesong.”which is currently scheduled for an early 2005 release.

 Parklife - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parklife is a Britpop album by the band Blur, released on April 25, 1994.

Parklife came together in the winter of 2002 when Rob Clay (bass/vox), Sam Clowney (guitar/vox)and Jason Bone (drums) began jamming on some original songs in the same Chapel Hill rehearsal space that gave rise to local heroes Ben Folds, Ryan Adams and Superchunk.

 Amazon.co.uk: Parklife: Music: Blur   (Site not responding. Last check: )
At a time when Oasis were aping the sounds of their pub-rock heroes on Definitely Maybe, Blur drew from the legacy of the Kinks and Small Faces to create an album that's as English as a rainy Sunday in front of the gas fire.
Parklife is full of songs that, quite frankly, don't make much sense outside of the British Isles, songs that find joy in the mundane, like "Girls & Boys" (a song about working-class holidaymakers in the sun) and "Parklife" (a day in the life of a cheeky, unemployed bench-sitter).
the lyrics in parklife sums it up 'i feed the pidgeons i sometimes feed the sparrows too' this is the kind of music that should be played to 3 year olds.

 Blur: Parklife - PopMatters Music Review
What excited me so much at the time was that Parklife opened up musical doors for me. When I bought the album, I was a 15-year-old high school sophomore immersed in the mainstream alternative rock of the time, and highly conscious of what was "cool" (by a 15-year-old's standards, of course) and what wasn't.
With Parklife, Albarn created a series of sketches that outlined a portrait of the British working class that was at once affectionate and crass.
Pop singles are pop culture, and Parklife spawned four "proper" singles but probably three-quarters of the album could've easily fit in on the radio.

Relying more heavily on Ray Davies ' seriocomic social commentary, as well as new wave, Parklife runs through the entire history of post-British Invasion Brit-pop in the course of 16 songs, touching on psychedelia, synth-pop, disco, punk and music-hall along the way.
The legions of jangly, melodic bands that followed in the wake of Parklife revealed how much more complex Blur 's vision was.

Parklife runs through the entire history of post-British Invasion Britpop in the course of 16 songs, touching on psychedelia, synth pop, disco, punk, and music hall along the way.
The sound of this album encapsulates and in some ways was the zeitgeist for the massive brit-pop sound and musical movement of the mid '90s.
It's this fun that Blur have making this album that comes across with listen after listen of Parklife and is what makes it addictively brilliant.

Parklife is the quintessentail 1990's British rock album, taking the Englishness of Modern Life is Rubbish to it's perfect apex.
Arguably one of the most revolutionary bands of all time, Blur's album "Parklife" is one of the most revolutionary albums of all time.
Ushering in the Britpop style, "Parklife" is full of the upbeat music that makes Britpop what it is, yet it also includes a few ballads and deeper songs that round out the album well.

Not to say that Parklife isn't a good CD, though, because it certainly is. Parklife is very commendable for its plainspoken variety, with a wide variety of musical styles that venture from moseying tracks like "Parklife" to succinct scrambling pieces like "Bank Holiday".
Parklife establishes itself apart from other Blur albums in that it contains a lot of organ, much usage of a specific electronic sound effect, synthesizers, and the occasional violin and horn, yet is mildly comparable to my second favorite Blur CD: "The Great Escape" with the majority of its rhythms.
All in all, Parklife is a fine album and I would consider it essential in at least any Blur fan's collection.

 Parklife by Blur CD
Wearing the hat of a Ray Davies-type sociologist, Blur's Damon Albarn weaves tales of modern London laced with the suspicion that indeed, the empire HAS ended.
Albarn's fascination with urban decay was apparent on MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH, but with the followup PARKLIFE, Blur embraces the modern.
Layering the aesthetic of the 1980s film "Brazil" with the Kinks' "David Watts," Blur is quite possibly the new British hope.
