"The reason Modern Life Is Rubbish is such a dynamic record and ushered in a new era of British pop is that nearly every song is carefully constructed and boasts a killer melody, from the stately "For Tomorrow" and the punky "Advert" to the vaudeville stomp of "Sunday Sunday" and the neo-psychedelic "Chemical World." Even with its flaws, it's a record of considerable vision and excitement".

"Perhaps this was what the record company had in mind after they sent Albarn and co back to the writing room in order to conjure up something for the singles market. What they got was the fairground roustabout of "Chemical World" and "For Tomorrow" which cleverly reworks the exquisitely skewed melody line of "Villa Rosie" whilst scrounging Tony Visconti's generic string textures, and the thudding motif from "Be My Wife" from Bowie's Low. A bunch of diamond dog geezers to be sure".
