A stunning, cinematic record of odious characters that are powerfully crafted and pop songs that are delectably played, The Great Escape is a masterwork of style and substance. With nowhere left to conquer but the U.S. (where the album flops) and Oasis their only rivals, Blur shine at the height of their considerable powers.
