Blur-Parklife

I know that this album is old but it was one of those spontaneous boys. Parklife doesn't contain anything special except various interesting sounds.

Some of the music is cheesy, like The Debt Collector, but some are more catchy like the hit Girls & Boys. The music is kind of like elevator music but less annoying. It's not heavy at all. Just takes a while to get used to. The lead singer, Damon Albarn, has good vocals but they are somewhat cheesy and annoying, but still gives Blur their style.

The songs have the same basic background music but oare each different with their styles. Thre are about the same amount of slow songs as their are upbeat ones. The music is a bit diverse within each song. One song can consist of hard riffs, a melodic keyboard and harmonic vocals.

I wouldn't really say that this album was very experimental, just looks like a lot of fun to make. I wouldn't recommend this album unless you were a major Blur fan.
