Leisure (Vinyl) - By:Blur - Model Number: 9996248321

Description

In 1991, long before they were splashed over the British press for their fabled feuding with Oasis, long before they pulled off the remarkable feat of attaining revered alt-rock status while having one of their tunes ("Song 2") blared at American football games, Blur released their debut, 'Leisure.'

An unassuming record, 'Leisure' fit snugly within the Manchester sound of the time. While the album didn't break barriers or expand boundaries, it was a thoroughly engaging, often hypnotic record featuring unforgettable modern-rock singles.

'Leisure' is full of adolescent yearning lingering into adulthood, a literate interpretation of failed quests that cleverly glorifies human shortcomings. While the record is certainly not as experimental as BLUR or as consistent as 'Parklife,' 'Leisure' is an impressive debut for a quartet who would become one of the most important UK bands of the '90s.
