Not enough non-Japanese albums have obis. Think this album will age well.

The end of my Blur adventure. My wife’s favourite band, and one I love. We’ve had the pleasure of seeking them live twice, and they were great, especially at Hyde Park during the Olympics.

Modern Life
Blur
Parklife
Leisure
Magic Whip
13
Great Escape (feels harsh - this, 13 and MW are interchangeable)
Think Tank
 
Your ranking is pretty much spot on, although I think I would put 13, The Great Escape ahead of Leisure. Think Tank is the only one I never go back to, though, and if not for that one, it’s a pretty impeccable run.
I know my view on Leisure is a pretty personal one. It doesn't get a lot of love, even with the band, but I love it. Before I did this I had it at number 2in my head, so I'm actually surprised I had it a bit lower. Agree that Think Tank is the only iffy one though, even my wife said "it's a bit shit" and she's a Blur obsessive!
