Up All Night pilfers the name of a Razorlight song, while sardonically attacking everything Johnny Borrell and his ilk stand for; Rue the Days seems to sum up Blur's entire musical history. It's only on the soppy likes of Turn Tail, and Flies, that they lose their edge. Young Knives are far sharper when they make things fast and furious....full text |

It’s not dignified nor is it very healthy....full text |
