Gonna' have to check out some of his stuff. I could listen to this song just to hear him sing. Hallelujah Money - Dudes voice is intoxicating. Don't like it enough to even listen to the whole thing. She's My Collar - Not really a fan of this. Maybe the whole song should've been that way. The final chorus upped the tempo a little and was sung with a little more emphasis and it sounded better. I know it's talking about neglect of children by unfit parents. I'll give it another listen at another time. I like the lyrics and the singers voice, but the background music just isn't hitting the spot for me. It's different.Ĭarnival - Not sure how I feel on this. Interlude 3 - Lot's of breaks this album. Man, as this song goes on, I like it more and more. Needed a slow down after the super up tempo of the first set of songs though. Reminds me of Demon Dayz.īusted and Blue - They lied. Guess we're going up.Īndromeda - Very Gorillaz.
I'll give it another listen but so far, it's another meh. Kinda' hard to get into because there is so much. This song is just meh.Ĭharger - a lot going on with this song. Danny Brown's verse is a bit corny sounding. Submission - Never heard of Kelela before, she's got a nice voice.
This shit hits hard and is going to sound amazing in my car. Haven't even listened to 75% of it and this is the best. There is ONE Gorillaz only song and it's arguably the best song on the album IMO.Ģ.) The production on a decent amount of the songs is just a load of jumbled sound bytes with no real purpose and messy autotune on a couple which just makes them unbearable (See: Momentz, Charger, Carnival, etc.)ģ.) Music videos seem to be the only way half of these songs will feel purposeful and since we don't have those to give some sort of context the whole concept feels lost.Ĭonclusion: I'm taking a hard pass on the album, I'd be pretty disappointed if I'd bought the album myself and I'm glad I've got Spotify.Īscension - Love it. NOW HEAR ME OUT PLEASE! This is not because "it's different" or because it's "not the Gorillaz I know" but for a couple reasons I'm gonna list off the top of my head:ġ.) The features are the main focus of the album OVER Gorillaz, they had a lot of features on Plastic Beach but they at least dropped a handful of songs with just them, they didn't do it this time around. I don't really get the positive reviewing personally, the album feels like it's a complete and utter flop. (but the titles listed are the HUGE low points for me). Lows: Sex Murder Party, Out Of Body, Momentz, Charger, Carnival, 80% of the songs not named that are on the album. Highs: Andromeda, Busted and Blue, Let Me Out, Submission, Ticker Tape First Impressions after 2 listens on the album: 4/10
