Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - p.79

4 stars out of 5 -- "'Advert' and 'Pressure on Julian' anticipate the full-throttle indie-rock swerve on the '97 hit BLUR, with more Kinks and David Bowie in the clamor."

Q - 1/94, p.85

Included in Q's list of 'The 50 Best Albums Of 1993' - "...tears into a rough-and-tumble Kinksian landscape with gusto...a watertight package...."

Alternative Press - 11/93, p.64

"...[MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH] is pleasant, non-threatening, and an awful lot of fun..."
Audio Magazine (2/94, p.82) - "...Blur brings some elan to this rite of passage, with riveting guitar work and more variety than on their 1991 debut, LEISURE...."

NME (Magazine) - 12/25/93, p.66

Ranked #7 in New Musical Express' list of 'The Top 50 LPs Of 1993'

NME (Magazine) - 5/8/93, p.31

(7) - Very Good - "...[MODERN LIFE] looks great...it's a London odyssey crammed full of strange commuters, Peeping Thomases and lost dreams...you can put those idiot Suede comparisons away now..."
