"For all of its celebration of tradition, Parklife is a thoroughly modern record in that it bends genres and is self-referential (the mod anthem of the title track is voiced by none other than Phil Daniels, the star of Quadrophenia). And, by tying the past and the present together, Blur articulated the mid-'90s Zeitgeist and produced an epoch-defining record".

"Parklife was where Britpop began, with its series of well-crafted songs that re-tooled the writing of Ray Davies and Paul Weller for the 90s. Albarn - supported ably by guitarist Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree - mapped out Blur's territory as cultural tourists: chroniclers of the mores and foibles of the modern world".
