As music in the latter half of the 90s drifted away from the Britpop style Blur had helped popularize, the band shifted into a noisier and more aggressive style of music. In this episode, we cover Blur's 1997 self-titled album through 2015's The Magic Whip, a period filled with inner conflict, departures, reunions, and transformations from a band who never seemed comfortable doing the same thing twice.

Starting as a young band in London in the late 80s and early 90s, Blur rose to fame in a few short years and helped the Britpop movement reach its peak. In the first episode of this two-part series, we cover their first four albums: Leisure, Modern Life is Rubbish, Parklife, and The Great Escape.
