message: It says in this article that Coxon was responsible for moving the band into lo-fi, but in the Band's article Albairn is credited: "By the end of 1996, Albarn's musical interests had changed from British pop to American alternative rock and lo-fi, influences which dominated[17]."

message: I notice this article says they were breaking away with tradition by not having a Stylorogue-designed cover. While technically true, the cover was designed by Yacht Associates, who I believe were a bunch of people who left Stylorouge to set up their own company - so maybe not such a clean break? --taras (talk) 22:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Isn't this box-set a completely different release, issued some 15 years after Blur was? Why is its tracklist included here?—indopug (talk) 19:01, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not just a box set Indoplug, The bonus cd was included when the album's were re-issued (on cd and vinyl as well as digitally). FM [ talk to me | show contributions ]  19:24, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Robert Christgau of The Village Voice was less enthusiastic and cited only "Song 2" as a "choice cut", indicating "a good song on an album that isn't worth your time or money".
My reasons for wanting to remove this from the reviews section is because, unlike the other info in there, it is essentially only a general clarification of Christgaus rating and doesn't actually say why he thinks that (nothing else on the sourced page). For this reason I therefore do not see the difference between having this stated in prose and saying something like "x reviewer gave it 3 out of 5 stars" and nothing else. Regarding the point about confusing readers perhaps the clarification of what this symbol means could be expressed as a footnote or some other way.

replies: text: It's pretty self-explanatory; he thinks it's a bad album because "Song 2" is the only good song on it. It doesn't have to elaborate; his terse reviews and brevity is what his columns are known for. I don't see what harm one sentence does, which by the standards of the overquoted section is harmless. Why would anything like "x reviewer gave it..." be stated in prose if it's already in the template? Dan56 (talk) 19:06, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

message: With this genre back in the infobox perhaps the Austin Chronicle review could be sourced here. It's quite obviously contradicted in many other accounts so I'd be surprised if I am or will be the only one to have removed/to remove 'Britpop' if there's no source.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 23:35, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Britpop is attributed to two sources in #Music--The Austin Chronicle and AllMusic, along with the two sources--Under the Radar and NME--which "contradict" it. Also, citations are usually avoided in the infobox for material already cited in the rest of the article (WP:INFOBOXREF) Dan56 (talk) 00:46, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
