Not disagreeing with the last few posts as such…and obviously I’m very biased in my view. But today I still get a lot of
Enjoyment out of BHN, where as Urban Hymns, OK computer , blur …I have to say I don’t really ever go back and if I do it feels old and tired. BHN is ALWAYS an energy lift and as “Let’s go!” feeling

BHN is ALWAYS an energy lift and as “Let’s go!” feeling Totally. Although i'm a big fan of Blur. But it went back to Urban Hymns today, and... meh. This record is a strong EP but that's it. As an album its in a very lower league compared to BHN. |

Biggest shame is they never (or Richard) followed it up with anything decent  |

Biggest shame is they never (or Richard) followed it up with anything decent If they'd selected the right tracks from everything they recorded during the "Forth" era, they could have made a pretty powerful follow-up. The momentum just DIES in the middle third. |

Biggest shame is they never (or Richard) followed it up with anything decent I sometimes think that One Day could have been dropped, sometimes not. It's an amazing album. Just like OK Computer is too, they're very different records though. |

The “jazz nice” section at the end of Magic Pie is criminally under appreciated. Hope we’re treated to an extended version one day.

I've always had a soft spot for Magic Pie.
It's just got a shit chorus.

I've Always loved Be here Now and I've Always loved to have a Be here Now "Naked". Noel should ha e finished the work started with D'you know what I mean.
By the way I don't like Magic Pie and I thunk that the tracklist should have been the follow:
D'you know what I mean?
My big Mouth (less noise and no drums in the intro)
Stay Young
Flashbax
Stand By Me
I've Got The Fever
I Hope I think I know
The girl in the dirty shirt
Fade in out
Don't Go Away
Be Here Now
All Around the World (5 minutes Song)
It's Getting Better Man (less noise, air studio's version is great)
Bonus track
Stand By Me Acoustic
Don't Go Away Acoustic
The Girl in the Dirty Shirt Acoustic
This album is amazing
