{"product_id":"blur-leisure","title":"Blur - Leisure","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOft remembered as a false start before Blur's eventual ascension to the position of Britpop spokesmen, 1991's Leisure belongs to a very different age. Much of it is fairly lightweight: a naive dance-rock hybrid, and not a million miles away from EMF. Leisure certainly has its moments, though, and when they come, they're quietly stunning: \"Sing\" (later revived for the Trainspotting soundtrack) is a crystalline clatter, guided through huge psychedelic rain clouds by Alex James' wandering bass; even today, it sounds one of Blur's most beautiful moments. \"There's No Other Way\" is equally deserving of note; powered by a titanic baggy beat, it stands as one of the greatest indie disco floor-fillers of the 1990s. Despite its faults, Leisure is an occasionally great album; it's questionable, though, that many of Blur's \"Song 2\" converts would even recognise it as the same band.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322506293625,"sku":null,"price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/blur-leisure-south-records-ltd_cce1855d-60d9-4505-ae21-407103892845.jpg?v=1787902034","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/blur-leisure","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
