Title: the album which gave Blur their respect back
Review: Modern Life Is Rubbish is the album which saved Blur, it gave them an identity away from the Madchester also-rans. After they hit the self-destruct button in 1992 they had to re-assess their musical ideals. These new ideals spawned MLIR. The albums opening track 'For Tommorrow' is one of the decades greatest tracks. What a start. Following that you have the punk-like 'Advert', the pop genius of 'Starshaped', the stirring 'Oily Water', the heavy aggression of 'Coping', I could go on... This album I would say also set the trend for the much respected BritPop scene. A benchmark album and one of the most important of the decade.
