There's No Other Way - Blur Full Band FC (Rock Band 2 DLC) HD Gameplay (Xbox 360)

Описание: My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: First and foremost, welcome "Finnybob" to Team Opus! They actually have been in quite a few FBFC's before this if i'm not mistaken, but this session was the first recorded session that features them while i was recording!

This wasn't even the first Fub of the session but it was a massive pick from Hockey, coming from the famous British band Blur, while these days, frontman Damon Albarn is mostly known for his work on Gorillaz, Blur has left a monumental impact on both Britpop and the Alternative Rock category of music as a whole.

That being said, Rock Band (and Guitar Hero) didn't get a lot of Blur at all, with most players remembering "Song 2" from the on disc setlists, this was the ONLY other song from them that we got as Paid DLC. It doesn't help that "Song 2" was meant to be a joke song and barely resembles any of their other hits.

This song is a fun one, Guitar and Bass have a steady, active riff / bassline that make the song a fun one to play through. I can't really speak much of the vocalist or drummers behalf, but the song isn't overly long thankfully and we got this one first try.

Song Facts:
"There's No Other Way" is a song by English rock band Blur, released on 15 April 1991 as the second single from their debut album Leisure. "There's No Other Way" peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart. It was also their first charting song in the US, reaching number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also reached number five on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks, becoming one of their biggest hits in the U.S.

Alan Jones of Music Week awarded the song his 'Pick of the Week', writing: "Blur are bound to break big with this organ-bleeding, guitar-powered, post-psychedelic delight, a dancefloor and radio-friendly monster in the making."

Linda Ryan of the Gavin Report called it a "trippy pop song with breathy vocals set to a groovin' housebeat... It's a perfect '60s meets '90s vibe with an undeniable hook that begs for another play."

In Smash Hits, Miranda Sawyer said: "[The] song is fab! Lots of guitars and it sounds like the '60s, with a tune that's so catchy that it was very nearly Single Of The Fortnight."

A playable version of the song is available for the Rock Band video game series, and it is available to download for Guitar Hero 5.

Kurt Cobain of Nirvana told NME that "There's No Other Way" was his favourite British song of 1991.
The song was also featured in Edgar Wright's 2013 film The World's End.
