Good song. Starts weak and has political bullshit written on it, but the chorus is great and Damon's singing does not disappoint.

This sounds so interesting... fuck it's great

They went full experimental

KEK THAT ENDING

>first half eh
>second half fucking gold

looks like libtard shit

Facebook really doesn't like it, so I predict /mu/ will be loving this in about a day

>>70463144
mu already loves it cuckboy

This isn't Reddit.

The first 5 seconds before Bejamin starts singing is the best part

Its good but another example of all popular media pushing a strong left narrative on everything which I'm sick of. Hopefully this album isn't full of this leftist rubbish.

the spongebob clip represents Donald fanboys' reaction

damn, ihe and the needledrop have already commented

mfw Trumpflakes are triggered AF by this track

It's a decent track too.

It feels like this was meant to be something akin to "Fire Coming out of the Monkey's Head" but damon and jamie got drunk and decided to put this out first

Do people itt really not realize that the gorillaz have always had left-sided views. Like most musicians you probably like.
The anon in this thread said it best. Most artist are lefty by default.

Literally slam poetry

It's not very good to me.
Experimental pop is good, but only if the experiment pays off.
This is just some britbong complaining about how the US runs their country.

Masturbatory music for Trump haterz.

I love Benjamin's voice on here, but something about Damon's seems out of place.

I enjoyed it. Also don't understand where the anti-Donald Trump part came in. It's more about the historical importance of this event than the man himself.

>People actually complaining because Gorillaz has changed their style and are political

Fucking WHAT?

the music is Gorillaz tier
the songwriting is still Damon tier
why did they even bother with the video
looks like Jamie Hewlett phoned that shit in, if at all

all in all i'd give a Doncamatic/10

I'll have to give it a few listens but my first impression is that it's not great. Really interesting though, so I think I might end up enjoying. The politics are pretty gay though.

>>70466155
>where the anti-Donald Trump part came in

I thought this was the worst gorillaz track to ever come out. Holy fuck what were they thinking

>still afraid to name bands

>people complain that this song is political
why is it that whenever /pol/ invades, they don't even care about what the fuck they are trying to talk about

Gorillaz has always been political

>>70466265
There's good political and bad political. This is cheesy, bandwagon, poorly executed political. Their message lost all its meaning in its delivery. If you want god political look at what Roger Waters did with Animals or The Final Cut.

Holy shit do niggers ruin everything they touch. This guy has a horrible voice but of course they had to get a nigger because a white guy doing vocals would be racist in 2017

>>70462360
It's really bad.

>>70462453
They always have political bullshit over them.
They always do it.

>>70466337
Oh really, bring up more than two lines in this song that are overtly political

I'll wait even after you try to deflect

>>70466350
kek, I like his voice but I'm not sure it fits with the song. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted him for what you're saying though.

preachy garbage that doesn't sound very good / 10

jesus christ what a letdown

>>70466350
This

who even the fuck is benjemine clementine? did they pick him off the street? I know the Gorillaz like doing random spontaneous bullshit sometimes. Probably some liberal BLM who needed a speaking platform

>And I thought the best way to perfect our tree,

>Now for the starving,
>It is love,
>And that is the root of all evil,
>But not our tree, and thank you my friend,
>For trusting me.

Wow, the Gorillaz actually released a song that is interesting. That's a first.

The first Gorillaz song i actually enjoy

>>70466489
so literally one line about the wall, so political

let me guess, you're just some butthurt crossboarder from /pol/

>>70461839
>>70462463
sounds pretty dated actually like it could be on The Fall
not experimental but rather pastiche

>>70463530
dats a fat doggo

I was going to say that given our current political climate, we would never be able to enjoy Gorillaz the same way.

But, then I remember The Fall, and how we didn't really enjoy Gorillaz before, either.

is this off the new album or nah?
the production is lame and this dudes voice does not fit at all

>>70466603
it certainly feels like Doncamatic
but, its never been their MO to make a video for a single before the album drops

not unless there was a jarring need to have to released before a certain event

there wasn't

>>70466635
I love doncamatic though

I like it a lot. It's nothing new, they've always sounded different for every album.

What the fuck is wrong with you people?

I hated Gorillaz last time I tried them, which was like 2 years ago, but I decided to give this a go just cause it's one 4 minute song.
Holy shit this is fucking awful. Monotonous dreary "singing" over a shitty boring snare beat for 271 seconds. Can't believe I just wasted four and a half minutes of my life on this garbage. How the fuck could anyone say this is good? This board is fucking doomed

How does that make you feel?

>>70468699
Doncamatic/10

>>70468699
good i guess

if they do the polar opposite of everything they did in this song maybe it won't suck so bad

>>70468699
Glad that this won't be on the actual album, and will just be set aside as a companion single.
Same as Doncamatic to Plastic Beach.
[spoiler]Even though I do like Doncamatic.

>>70468756
Damn it, I always forget spoilers are disabled on this board.

>>70468756
same
I was also a bit surprised by this song because the new album was supposed to be a bit faster in rythm overall

>>70468699
It was obvious from the start that this is a (smart, I must admit) move to get people to talk about them again. The song isn't exactly bad in itself, it was probably a bit rushed considering the election was less than 3 months ago.

>>70468841
Trump songs have been popping up ever since the primaries, so this was probably in the production line but got pushed ahead once he got elected

This is boring as fuck

This song will be a grower but will still be detested because muh trump

Second half is really damn good

what are people talking about with this "second half is good" shit

it doesn't get any better

>>70468874
No Trump songs by decent mainstream artist though. Anyway yes, probably Damon thought to write something about walls, then Trump got elected and he and Jamie decided that this was a good opportunity

>>70468996
I mean, if 50% of a country usually doesn't like the elected president
And this election, regardless of who got in, would have the lowest approval ratings entering ever
It would make sense to release an single based on it, especially if you disagreed with it personally as well

>>70469085
we haven't heard the brexit single man, that will be fire

Musically this sounds like an interested offbeat song somewhere in the tracklisting, not something you put as the first single off the album. It has that gospel vibe, builds nicely at the end, and mostly revolves around the verses, like he preaching some scripture. However the lyrics come off as unfocussed trendy political rhetoric and culturally sounds tone deaf (especially with the imagery they put in the video).

It comes across as Damon shoving this song out front purely for its trendy political message, instead of show casing his best musically.

Fuck this board

There's literally thousands upon thousands of hours worth of great music out there, yet 2 threads about this shitty mediocre song from this shitty mediocre band are getting 100+ replies

>>70466022
just to be clear, this isn't a single. I don't think it's even on Spotify yet. It's just a reaction to Trump's inauguration, just like Rockit was for an anti-idolization of celebrities campaign and Stop the Dams was for an icelandic environmental campaign against some dams

love the song but the video was disappointing. What's with Jamie lately? Some of his instagram posts have been just embarrassing and lazy, especially the ones where he's roleplaying as gorillaz characters. The video was a mess

>>70461839
Not a big fan, but can't say much until the full album comes out

>>70472329
animation is really expensive and this song isn't going to become a huge radio single by any means. he's probably saving the energy and the money for the first big single from the album

>>70472296
smart like who, Trump? Or old men who refuse to give a shit about us or the environment?

>>70472344
I really hope that's the case, but I still believe it could've been better executed no matter what the budget was. A total mess in the background, bad 2D lipsync, not even a complete drawing or two of any of the characters except Murdoc in the very beginning. Considering South Park's first season were made entirely with construction paper about 20 years ago, I don't see how money is the problem here.

>>70472559
2D is actually heavily implied to be a puppet- you can see the strings moving his jaw. don't know what that means, but the lipsync was definitely intentional- they did it that way for a reason, whatever that reason is

it's more of a "doncamatic" video than a "on melancholy hill" one. just a visual

Goddamn, what a disappointment. I have been getting slowly hyped with all the new art coming from Hewlett but this is looking bad from the start. I don't believe this. I loved Plastic Beach more than their other albums but this isn't even a song. Damn it. It isn't even a narrative, and doesn't have any flow like Fire Out of a Monkey's Head, and that song is great, with it essentially just being a man talking over music. What the fuck happened

>Random political song
they've always been political

>>70473247
The song's kind of growing on me, and yeah, it's not even really political sounding, but the description of it and shit is going around as an 'anti-trump' song, when I don't hear anything like that in the song, partially because I can't understand half of what the black guy is saying. But I don't get why, aside from trying to get attention and views, it's being called that.

I mean I guess on repeat listens, it's an okay song. But it's a horrible song to return with and I think that's where the hate is coming from. Everybody waited years for something and the first thing we get is a fucking black guy kumbayahing in an elevator to an off tempo beat with no Gorillaz characters to be seen, with only a voice of one muffled in the background chorus. At least is shouldn't be on the album.

>>70466268

>partially because I can't understand half of what the black guy is saying
for more than half of the song I wasn't even sure if the guy was speaking English, all I could understand was "my friend", "love is the root of all evil" and "hallelujah money". Literally everything else sounded like gibberish

>>70463369
Anon, Trump's government is planning to cut finances of the arts right now. Conservative governments are generally not favorable to the humanities, so most artists are partial progressive and socialist ideals over a traditional form of capitalism under which they are mostly disenfranchised aside from the very top of the culture industry.

>>70463265

Times are a changin anon

its time for Albarn to move past the shamelessly white collaborations of the past, such as those with Del the Funky Homosapien, Dan the Automator, De La Soul, Danger Mouse, Bobby Womack, Little Dragon, and Snoop Dog.

It's time that Albarn let people from more diverse backgrounds into the studio. I know it may be hard for you, clearly a longtime Gorillaz fan, to come to terms with the fact that Albarn may capitulating to societal pressures to work with musicians of color.

But gone are the days of all white alt rap concept albums, that's just how it is now

This isn't on the site so perhaps it's not the true first single, another Rockit case.

it's okay if there are some rapping dindus on a gorillaz album, even though that was the reason why DD is better than PD (less dindus), but after a 6 year hiatus everyone expects a song with only 2D vocals and not some tay zonday sounding dindu

I am not from /mu/. I like the pieces individually - lyrics, Clementine's voice, visuals, production - but to me it feels like they don't go together well.

Utterly forgettable, I'm only giving it something above 3/10 because the vocals are at least not ear gratingly bad. Otherwise this has nothing of value or note.

i'm fine with making a political statement, but in music your statement needs to come in syllables that fit a rhythm, and convey a recognizable melody. the random masturbation this guy indulges in gets annoying after a few seconds and the song requires me to endure him for minutes on end.

It's fine, damon voice is great.

It's not a new single, it's probably the rock it of the new record.

And just like rock it and demon days, had heavy political themes.
This could've easily been on D-Sides which was a fantastic thing, not sure what the fuck people are bitching about.

This song is actually so fucking bad

Makes me wonder if gorillaz was ever really good, or just a phase in middle school

>>70477063
The fall was a side project done in an ipod in a couple months by albarn experimenting with the sounds from plastic beach.

I think it's cynical pandering, the most calculated and cheap way to try to garner relevance in your work, which is extra tacky in that it's done by pretending to have some sincere moral views or social value / intention

it definitely could be cynical pandering, as the spoken word, along with the lyric writing is easily derivative of that. under the assumption that this won't be on the album, then this is exactly what you think it could be -- venting feelings/thoughts into their music

the songwriting isn't the best thing in the world, but it isn't the worst

If this is indicative of the new album Damon needs to take it back to the shop for another year or two of polish. This is a Fall-tier turd straight onto the ear drums.

Just listened to it again without watching the visuals
First off I'd like to point out how fucking awful this music video is. It's just not good. MTV is fucking dead
Second, this is actually a really really good song. The message is stupid as fuck, but who the fuck listens to vocal tracks lyrics in songs like this? Why would you even bother with trying to understand the words when it's just another track on the song to enjoy with everything else?

Anyways, it's not as good as it could be. Ronda Rousey has proven that you can't come back from something that you haven't done for a long time and try to compete in the big leagues without getting knocked out.
Also, my fellow Trumptards getting triggered over people not agreeing with them are stupid as fuck. I'm going back to listen to the Gorillaz album, where they're actually good
>There will never be another 19-2000

>>70478934
Damon's clearly moved on from s/t and is currently working with minimal electronic and Africa's music scene.
If you went in expecting s/t or demon days you were sorely mistaken.

Anyone get strong Blackstar vibes from it? Not in the execution, because they completely failed and made a bad song. I'm talking about the 'creepy' discordant hymnal sound, the repetition, the religious themes. Am I just finding similarities that don't exist?

I was feeling the first section of Blackstar pretty strongly too with the lack of orthodox structure and the uneasy tone

>>70479101
Gorillaz was always about Damon experimenting with genres outside of the ones he works with for blur.

The newest daft punk album was their take on the music that inspires them. If they were pandering, they would've made a pure discovery retread.

Cross is the only good justice album

>>70463369
What is Demon Days? This was to be expected from them, especially now that the sphere of politic's extremely agitated. You might as well not listen to this new album if that's your position, as I'm sure it will only annoy you.

Not really one, but he has the support of every neo nazi in the US. Also, a lot of his beliefs line up with theirs. Doubley also, his election has encouraged actual neo-nazi groups to go more public with their beliefs.

I never believed that a "reddit" opinion could exist, but I've found it. I enjoyed it because it reminded me of the interesting parts of the fall, mixed with cloud of unknowing which is a favorite of mine.

I came here and found pretty mixed opinions, some people loving it and some people hating it, some buttblasted trumptards trying as hard as they can to whine about a political message that can be vaguely relates to trump, but overall actually decent discussions going on. Someone mentioned reddit hating it though so I had to check.

They pretty much unanimously hate it with little dissent. Utter nonsense criticism like too much of the singer, bad vocals from Damon, saying it didn't sound like a Gorillaz song, etc. And when people new to Gorillaz asked for a good example of a Gorillaz song, basically everyone was like "AAAAH CLINT EASTWOOD, DEMON DAYS, PERFECT ALBUMS THAT DEFINE THEIR SOUND." Jesus fuck can you get more basic? Demon Days is a masterful album that is more approachable than Gorillaz or Plastic Beach but Gorillaz offers way more variety and Plastic Beach offers a completely different sound. Fuck those losers, they can go jerk themselves raw about how great the most popular songs of an artist are.

Shit when did I become a /mu/tant

I don't even care about the politics involved. The song just isn't good.

They "feature" a guy who sings for 96% of the song and masturbates himself for the other 4% while playing minimal music, beats, rhythms, or pretty much anything that makes a song great.

Don't tell me their "experimentation" will be taking over the new album, I'll be shitting blood for a week from the ulcers that this great band will cause me.
