Blur’s relationship with the United States was always… interesting. Modern Life is Rubbish, their unabashedly British second album (and one of the starting points of Britpop), was reportedly written out of the band’s dislike for the grunge wave sweeping the world at the time, and the desire to bring British music to the forefront of pop culture again.

The band’s Britpop-era albums have several songs referencing the U.S.A., namely “Miss America” and “Magic America”. While both of those are sarcastic in tone and critical of American values, “Look Inside America” is the tale of Blur finally coming to terms with the country and admitting, after all, that ‘she’s alright’.
