I agree with the consensus below, Leisure is very underrated. Albarn dismissed it because it was simple and direct, and not experimental, but I am glad that blur did an album like this, straight, melodic, jangly guitar's and a groovy rhythm section, topped of with Albarn's vocals and the brilliant backing vocals. A trippy, slightly dancy album, with good songs like: she's so high, fool, bad day, bang, sing and there's no other way.
Absolutely underrated, Leisure. One of my best-listened albums of all time, of all bands. Which means I did not really care of the later Blur releases - not as much, anyway. Clearly recall my neighbours banging at my wall at 4 a.m. in the days after it came out.
Damon himself slated this album as a terrible piece of work. Personally I think he's being a perfectionist. I love this album, True, its a bit messy in places, you can tell its the bands first album but really, what a first album. My favourite is "fool".
I really like the harmonic backin vocals of the Leisure tracks. Very 60's

The mix between alternative, rock, pop, indie, shoegaze/shoegazing and madchester in this album it's just perfect

I agree. Totally underrated. And fewer than 4000 views? What's going on?
