| | Parklife - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Parklife is a Britpop album by the band Blur, released on April 25, 1994. | | | At the time of its release it acquired full-on cultural phenomenon status in Britain, particularly in the context of the young middle classes' adoption of Estuary English (several newspaper articles about this tendency appeared during the singles chart run of the album's title track). | | | Although the album failed to chart in the US, "Girls and Boys" became a hit there, while Parklife became Blur's first UK #1 album, entering in the pole position upon its release. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Parklife: Music |
| | With its references to British culture in the 20th century and its amalgamation of musical styles from the 60's, 70's and 80's, the album is a musical melting pot of all that is good about English guitar pop. | | | 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). | | | 'Parklife' is Blur's third studio album, and is the follow up to the critically-acclaimed 'Modern Life Is Rubbish'. |

| | Blur: Parklife ---Ink Blot Magazine |
| | It was to be the last of Blur's trilogy of English Life albums, and 1997's "Song 2" made them a surprise favorite in America's football stadia. | | | 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. | | | The Ibizan holiday rats of "Girls & Boys," Phil Daniels' cockney layabout on the title track, the butyl-sniffing video gamer of "Jubilee"...the depth of these characters renders them lovable in spite of themselves. |

| | Blur: Parklife - PopMatters Music Review |
| | 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. | | | But when Parklife came in the mail and I popped it on the stereo, I heard the synthesis of so many different genres of pop music. | | | 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. |

| | CD Baby: PARKLIFE: Lonely Eyes and Amsterdam |
| | Parklife's Lonely eyes and Amsterdam Ep sounds nothing short of a classic full length album that was only stopped at four songs and put out exclusively for their loyal fanbase. | | | The songs on the CD are incredibly written, and the band just brings them to life with their awesome style! | | | The band quickly took its energetic, melodic rock music to stages throughout the southeast and then into the studio, where Parklife recorded its debut CD "Lonely Eyes and Amsterdam" with Grammy-nominated producer Jon Custer (COC, Chris Whitley, DAG). |

| | Blur : Parklife - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
| | Relying more heavily on Ray Davies' seriocomic social commentary, as well as new wave, 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 legions of jangly, melodic bands that followed in the wake of Parklife revealed how much more complex Blur's vision was. | | | And, by tying the past and the present together, Blur articulated the mid-'90s zeitgeist and produced an epoch-defining record. |

| | "Girls and Boys" is one of the most catchy pop songs of all time and "End of a century" is a very meaningful and likeable song but "Parklife" is awful, especially as its the main track on the album. | | | The band members are mods, of course, borrowing fashion tips from the pre-glam David Bowie, tempos from the Jam, and actor Phil Daniels (the star of Quadrophenia!) for a vocal cameo. | | | Damon is very smooth and suave in his delivery, and you can just hear that British accent coming thru in his lyrics, every song. |

| | Britpop - encyclopedia article about Britpop. |
| | Oasis' breakthrough debut Definitely Maybe (1994), Blur's bombastic third album Parklife (1994) and Suede's self-titled debut (1993) are all contenders. | | | Blur's self-titled fifth effort was very well received like their previous two, partly because it showcased stylistic evolution for the band, unlike Oasis. | | | However, it marked a considerable departure from the familiar Britpop style of Parklife and The Great Escape and a lurch towards the American style of bands such as Pavement. |

| | Stereolab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The song "Bop Scotch" from the album Margerine Eclipse, for example, can be interpreted as a direct attack on the contemporary policies of the United States, while "Strobo Acceleration" from Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night demonstrates the band's feminist political stance. | | | Stereolab earned a minor place in the Britpop movement, with their sound proving influential to bands like Blur: occasional keyboard-driven b-sides and singer Damon Albarn's love of retro keyboards showed the influence, and in recognition Lætitia Sadier was invited to provide vocals on "To The End" from Blur's Parklife album. | | | Despite the band's fanbase and critical acclaim, Stereolab has not achieved high levels of financial or popular success. |
