um yes, blur are getting back together.

[UberBeaver]

Blur > Oasis.

Oasis is very overrated. They're not bad, they're just nothing special.

pSUM'D!

 

[lazarus]

Okay, that makes more sense.

Bob Dylan = Woody

Bob Dylan=Orson

 

[LMP]

Bob Dylan=Orson

Who's Woody then? Neil Young?

I'm still struggling to figure out P.T. and Wes Anderson. Arcade Fire should factor into one of them.

Mixed reviews? How about an 83 rating on Metacritic, which translates as "universal acclaim", plus a 9.0 user rating?

I don't know. I recall that it got mixed reviews at least initially, when it came out. I haven't listened to it myself. But allmusic gave it only 2 stars.

I actually have no problem with Blur. Their Best Of is one of the best I've ever heard by anyone. And the one other album I have, Parklife is excellent! I need to pick up the others like Modern Life and Great Escape.

Anyway I was merely responding to your unprovoked attack on Oasis in a Blur thread. Personally I enjoy music from both bands.

 

[Zoomerang96]

i'm getting my tickets in less than 24 hours, batches.
hyde park.
more like... (hyde) parklife.

no, that didn't work at all did it.

i best still be in europe by then.

[intedomine]

lol, what the fuck's metacritic and what makes it the be all and end all of what is good and what is bad.

 

[Irishteen]

lol, what the fuck's metacritic and what makes it the be all and end all of what is good and what is bad.

It gives the average of all reviews by the larger online review sites

 

[lazarus]

Oasis=pwned by consensus.

 

[financeguy]

I would perhaps consider going to see the Stone Roses, honestly. But not Blur.

is the correct answer.

 

[lazarus]

If you're still keeping score, YLB...

The Stone Roses=Brad Renfro

 

[phillyfan26]

lol, what the fuck's metacritic and what makes it the be all and end all of what is good and what is bad.

And the point goes sailing over your head.

It was a discussion about the reception of the two albums, and metacritic does, as it turns out, analyze the reception of music.

 

[Saracene]

I actually have no problem with Blur. Their Best Of is one of the best I've ever heard by anyone.

I've no interest in Blur outside of their Best Of, but it's probably my favourite Best Of ever. Great songs, great variety.

 

[LemonMelon]

Blur is a better band than Oasis. They're more creative, innovative, have a greater variety of sounds, and they never truly fell off.

But damn...those first two Oasis albums are classics. Arguably better than anything Blur ever released.

 

[GibsonGirl]

This had better be filmed.

 

[LyricalDrug]

Blur = wimpy music

 

[intedomine]

Mixed reviews? How about an 83 rating on Metacritic, which translates as "universal acclaim", plus a 9.0 user rating?

Regardless, Oasis could never even dream of recording something as original and brilliant as Think Tank. I'll take one of those over two predictable Brit pop albums, which have Metacritic ratings of 64 and 66, by the way. That's what I call "mixed".

Thanks for playing.

Oh yeah, fuck Coldplay and Viva la Vida (72) too.

So I just look up this MetaCritic site and I don't see Oasis' first two albums...what's the point in this site?

 

[phillyfan26]

A little deeper digging reveals that almost all of their ratings start at about the year 2000.

 

[Zoomerang96]

I GOT TICKETS TODAY.

it's too bad i don't know if i'll be in europe then, but if i am... well then that'll be quite something won't it.

I'm willing to be anybody's friend for a Blur ticket

Seriously though, I know that many of my friends in the UK have bought tickets to see Blur so I'm pretty positive about seeing them...

 

[Zoomerang96]

where do you live?

 

[Ava79]

I live in Finland. Might be moving to the UK soon though.

 

[LemonMelon]

Same here. There's no possible way I could get to this gig.

Well, fail on my part.


Or, rather, EPIC SUPERWIN on my part.

I scored three tickets!

 

[Ava79]

Excellent

 

[pgv]

Couldn't get tickets, the dates are right in the middle of my A-Levels. I'm holding out for them headlining Glastonbury though.

good for you! where do you live? is it going to be a trek?

 

[LemonMelon]

good for you! where do you live? is it going to be a trek?

I'm in the states, but I had already been planning a trip out to the UK, so it works out well for me.
