Jul 24, 2012Teeming with B-sides, live tracks, and demos, much of it previously unreleased, 21 is both exhaustive and indispensable.
-
Jul 30, 2012It's a treasure trove of Britpop and English musical history, a veritable panoply of musical goodness.
-
UncutJul 19, 2012You don't get bands like Blur very often. They deserve great boxsets, and this feels like one. [Aug 2012, p.85]
-
Jul 31, 2012There were plenty of other great British bands of the '90s but none of their peers--Oasis, Suede, Pulp, Radiohead--covered as much stylistic ground or wound up with a catalog as rich as this ridiculously generous box set handily proves.
-
Jul 31, 2012Unlike many career-spanning sets, Blur 21 is perfectly arranged, with each studio album living on its own disc, accompanied by another disc of era-specific bonus material like singles, compilation tracks, remixes and more.
-
Jul 31, 2012The bonus material contains an abundance of amazing, weird, and brilliant moments. But the type of extras included-like a disc of demos from Blur's early years, when the band went by Seymour--will likely only interest completists.
-
Jul 27, 2012The five and a half hours of unreleased demos/live recordings do give a warmly inclusive insider's feel but there's nothing I'd listen to more than a couple of times.
