The Great Escape was definitely a very poppy album, in places a bit TOO poppy, maybe, and hence the big shakeup on the next outing, Blur...but as far as straight ahead, sonically simple, tounge in cheek pop songs with an ironic twist goes... its hard to beat The Great Escape.... it really is still alot of fun to just bust out once in a while and enjoy... sure the material might not be as solid as their previous or even later stuff, but I gotta admit that album brings a smile to my face everytime I hear it...
