Anybody listening to the new gorillaz album?
What kind of a stupid fucking question is that OP?
Everyone is.
>>72457086
Haven't gotten it yet, money is coming in tomorrow.
>>72457086
Nah I'm not 10 years old
>>72457156
Fuckin' got em
>>72457156
oh shit fucking ROASTED
Literally just started it, I'm like 2 songs in.
>>72457185
Can he ever recover?
>>72457086
SKYS FALLING BABY DROP THAT ASS BEFORE CRASH
I'm 6 songs in and I think it's bretty good
I'm enjoying it so far.
I am. I don't like it.
>waiting until tomorrow to listen to it
>not having spotify
>>72457149
>2017
>doesn't have Spotify or Apple Music
Literally fuck your own face
I've never been this unhype to listen to a Gorillaz album.
then again I'm pretty much a newfag to them and remember Plastic Beach coming out and the hype that was this board declaring it /mu/core on the spot
>>72457156
Unironically this
Who listens to a cartoon character band?
I'm sort of underwhelmed so far. Ascension just feels like generic hip-hop, and Strobelite is... fine I guess. Just fine. I'm on Saturn Barz right now, and its the only song like so far, but I've been listening to it for weeks. I hope it picks up.
>>72457281
I like music that is not on Spotify, usually niche soundcloud shit
>>72457293
You're posting on a fucking anime board.
>>72457293
Literally millions of fucking people
I didn't expect to like Out of Body so much, I'm really digging the whole album
>>72457248
Don't hold your breath, it drops off quite a bit toward the end
>>72457333
Let Me Out and Sex Murder Party are lame as fuck. What were they thinking?
>>72457156
>>72457176
>>72457185
Nice samefagging
SHE'S THE ONE I'M RUNNING WITH
>>72457372
Let Me Out was passable, Sex Murder Party was super lame I'll agree
>>72457333
I wholeheartedly disagree, Out of Body and Ticker Tape are really great. And She's My Collar and The Apprentice, oo baby
Charger has a sexy riff, It's giving me hints of demon dayz
>>72457382
You think I thought he really roasted OP?
You're fuckin dense m8
>>72457308
"I only listen to music that everyone else DOESN'T like"
>>72457382
You are really dumb. Not very surprising for someone who enjoys gorillaz
>>72457409
She's My Collar is a fuckin' tune
>>72457429
28 posts with 16 posters it's not hard to think that one guy who hates gorrilaz would Samefag
>>72457296
Ascension was incredible in my opinion, maybe it's my Vince Staples fandom but the lyrics were so out there (that Moses line is ridiculous).
On the flipside I didn't like the Pusha T track despite being a huge Pusha fan who's been playing his last project Darkest Before Dawn non-stop over the past month or two.
>>72457308
I bet you're fun at parties, faggot
>>72457447
It's so cool, there's like a dark sex appeal to it, I fucking love it, it's so out of left field (In the best Gorillaz way).
>>72457469
I feel that's because Let Me Out is an unorganized song. Such a weird mishmash. I love Pusha T too. It's just not a well put together song
>>72457469
>>72457521
Just listened to Let Me Out. I actually really liked it. It felt a bit unorganized, but I didn't feel like that took away from the song. Honestly, its the closest to classic Gorillaz so far.
this thread reeks of fucking underage

>>72457472
my roommate only listens to gorillaz and he has shit taste in virtually everything artistic
it really put me off them and i kind of started to think of them as uninspired
also i've kind of stopped liking the idea of a fictional band
I enjoy it a lot been playing it non-stop, can't wait to see them in concert this summer.
>>72457984
Yes I like it, seems no one else does except Anthony Fantasia, who praises it on twitter
These are the good songs. The rest are middling.
She's My Collar and Andromeda are tied for the best. Charger and Busted & Blue would be much better if they built up to something but they never seem to take off.
>>72457086
Anybody wanna be a piece of shit and put the deluxe edition on Mega?
>>72458589
It already is.
>>72457296
all my life is completely ruined by popcans shit voice. like honestly a sans popcan version would be insanely better.
>>72458603
Yeah but at like, 128kbps
>>72458645
Your mom is like, 128kbps
>>72458670
I wish.
i bought it today
to the people who say that humanz is a bad album remember plastic beach when it first came out
Really digging Momentz
The reviews for Humanz are so stupid, especially the Pitchfork one. They just don't understand. It's so disappointing that these peoples' opinions determine critical consensus. Humanz is one of the best albums I've ever heard. 5/5 from this anon
>>72458786
My man. Probably my favorite track of the album besides Saturnz Barz
>>72458810
>they just dont understand
>>72458743
It still is.
>>72458810
>pitchfork
They gave the exact same score to demon days
>>72457086
DUH. What the fuck you think?
I'm on Busted and Blue and so far I like every song. Some more than others, but there's yet to be a moment where I had to skip the track halfway through.
>>72458849
>that's right
>>72458907
Wow. Embarrassing...
best tracks are saturnz bars, momentz, out of body, and charger
for the worst tracks id say we got the power, sex murder party, and circle of friends
>>72457086
is literally every feature on this a black person?
>>72457098
Good evening reddit
>>72459064
Noel gallager
and why would it matter
>>72459064
I don't see how this would even be a problem, but no, they're not. Kali Uchis is Colombian.
>>72459105
>>72459114
Not a problem, I love the album, it's just an observation
>>72457086
Nah bruh I like good music
>>72459318
got em
lol didn't that get a 6.9 lol
>>72457086
No. This album is objectively shit. The couple of songs I've listened aren't even worth pirating or listening to all of this objectively bad album.
Sex Murder Party sounds sooooo much better now. It was literally unlistenable from that shitty vinyl rip
>>72459394
lmao nice greentext
>>72459409
greentext
current year
>>72459374
I like it a lot though...
Ascension, Saturn Barz, Strobelite, and Submission are great.
Charger and Sex Murder Party are decent
rest are below average to god awful.
Also guys, who thinks Submission is a fucking amazing song?
>>72459440
what about Momentz and Andromeda
>>72459446
hi >>72459440 here
it's goes from great to GREAT when danny's verse comes on tbqh, though honestly the song is still a banger before he comes on.
>>72459466
I forgot about Momentz, probably would be up in great-tier or at the very least decent. The first 5 actual songs on the album are all great, sucks the quality drops off from there. Andromeda is passable I suppose but compared to the other songs I listed it's inoffensive at best.
>>72457329
If out of body doesn't make it to the bedroom playlist for most people then they have no taste desu
>>72457086
Have not heard a singel song, should i get this on vinyl. Just got my new setup ready. y/n?
>>72459500
I mean if you really like the art that much go for it, otherwise probably not.
>>72459500
CRINGE
I'm listening to Out Of Body right now for the first time and you fuckers are kidding me, right? The 2 tracks before this were better and even those weren't that great.
>>72459500
Nvm heard it now. What a piece of junk
>>72457086
i heard the singles and now i don't want to listen to the album
>>72459685
The album is even worse. Maybe Submission is passable.
>>72459685
You aren't missing much. Some people might advocate for some choice tracks like Submission or Strobelite but it's all about the same quality throughout.
Various Artists - Humanz
About to listen to it now, I liked most of the pre-singles so I have high hopes.
Also I got the version with the bonus tracks and notice they aren't featuring other artists. Does this mean they'll actually be Albarn-centric like Busted and Blue?
>>72459734
Pretty much.
>>72459746
If you liked the singles you'll probably like the album. And no, the bonus songs aren't Albarn centric at all save for Ticker Tape. He does get a few moments on the album but they're definitively few. Considering you've heard Busted and Blue you've probably heard half of his meaningful contributions to the album before even listening to it.
>>72459834
Oh wait, yeah, I see. The featured artists for the bonus tracks weren't in the titles on the actual disc when I imported it, but I see them on the tracklist on the physical album.
From the other thread :
Listening right now. SO far it's shit. Drums are non-existant, voice/lyrics is slowed down blur, synth are too basic to be interesting, fucking fake violins everywhere and even vocoder. Sounds like "Best of R'n'B 2009 vol2 ft. Grace Jones"
>>72458810
what exactly is there to understand? Enlighten me.
>>72458022
wtf i hate gorillaz now
>>72457319
I'm glad someone else said this before me
Does anyone have a link of the deluxe version? Apparently the download i got in a thread days ago lacks some tracks like Out of body
>>72458559
>We got the power
Shit taste
>>72459374
objectively homosexual opionion.
>>72460640
check soulseek, I got everything from there
>>72457185
>>72457176
You're just proving him right with your 10 year old humor
i like grace jones but i hate the gorillas
>>72459374
I mean that sounds like a subjective opinion though famalam
>>72458645
there's a mp3 V0 on the archive
As one of my favorite bands im disappointed, I like maybe 6 songs out of 26
Charger into andromeda makes me like andromeda like waaaay more. Can't believe they got the p4k pan, I've never disagreed with those fucks more. This is a great album and stands among their other releases.
Subjectively best :
She's my Collar
Saturnz Barz
Ascension
Out of body
Let me out
Andromeda
Don't feel the rest of them. But I had the same feeling with PB and now I love the entire album.
Takes time I guess
What even are those interludes?
I'm at the interlude: Talk Radio.
So far only Saturn Barz, Andromeda and Busted and Blue sound good.
Worst Gorillaz album yet, worse tan The Fall
I feel like giving this a 4/10 would be generous.
>>72457086
Yes, but painfully
>>72459734
Is that supposed to be an insult? You know that applies to everything Gorillaz has ever done, right?
Ok in the end I agree with someone around here in this board (can't remember where)
This album has no average, really good songs (few) or literally trash. Maybe not really trash but simply not Albarn.
Only songs I will listen from this album:
Saturn Barz
Andromeda
Busted and Blue
She's my Collar
Not sure about:
Let Me Out
Sex Murder Party
The Apprentice
For sure I will never play the whole album ever again.
Final rank for me:
Demon Days > Gorillaz = Plastic Beach > Humanz
> only try hard put also The Fall
>fresh of breath air
>>72463680
Joking.
Not even Busted ad Blue.
sex murder party is the worst song ive heard in a long time
>>72458907
They're not scoring by the best Gorillaz album.
>>72462739
Their review literally reads like what the /mu/ trolls have been pushing for a month. "It sounds like a playlist" - did they even listen to it?
>listen to a few tracks I really like
>come back to tracks I didn't find that interesting and instantly like them 10x more
Is this happening to anyone else
>>72457308
>Not just pirating your music like a normal fucking person
I was really digging Submission until this goofy motherfucker started talking.
>>72457156
same desu
>>72457328
>Literally millions of fucking people
are 10 years old around the world, probably more, why is this relevant?
>>72457281
>using spotify or apple music
>having to rely on an internet connection to get your music
>willingly listening to ads inbetween your music
When the fuck did /mu/ get so fucking pleb holy shit
>>72465255
Ruined the song completely, hoping someone remixes it to cut him out
ALL MY LOIF
>>72465393
Wtf are you talking about. Spotify premium is like 9.99/m and you can sync all music to your device you faggot.
>>72465574
>paying a monthly fee for his music
When the fuck did /mu/ get so fucking pleb holy shit
>>72458810
>Pitchfork
>>72465589
I mean if you have an android you can just download a cracked apk with free premium
>>72465589
>stealing music is somehow patrician
You are a child.
>>72465728
not like spotify supports the artist anyways so I don't feel too bad about it
at the end of the day it's all about exposure
Hi Eugene

>>72457149
>buying music
>>72465810
Do what you gotta do. I'm paying for the convenience of listening to pretty much whatever I want without having to download it first. And if I do like it, I download it. Plus currates playlists for me and recommends albums that I like from time to time. Don't think there's anything pleb about paying for music on demand.
>>72457086
already have, it was fucking awful
I kind of feel like a pleb for saying this, but I feel like there's too many tracks with a "chill" or calm feel. I was hoping for a few more fast paced tracks.
>>72457086
Never listened to any of the singles so I'm listening to this whole thing from a fresh angle
That being said, Ascension fucking sucks ass and it looks like this is just nigger lyrics
>>72463192
nothing is worse than the Fall.
>>72465810
>not like spotify supports the artist anyways
Wtf yes they do, artists get a cut every couple weeks based on listens
t. artist on spotify
>>72466461
the amount they make is barely anything
>>72466500
not really, unless you're just a giant nobody. you cant live off of it but its nothing to scoff at
Did Gorillaz not realize all their featured artists don't have to be fucking black rappers? I'm 7 songs in and I think I heard 2D twice
>>72466461
>t. artist on spotify
>>72466461
>>72466545
Gorillaz have been colabing with black rappers for some time. I agree though, the lack of Albarn is annoying.
It's okay. It'd be better but half the tracks are just generic or unrealized. Some good tracks in there though
>>72466644
There's nothing wrong with that but jesus christ, their first two albums got by just fine with mostly original work and the addition of a few featured artists. Plastic Beach got absolutely bogged down with that shit and now Humanz is even more of a clusterfuck with these niggers.
If you're not going to bother having 2D sing, don't even fucking call them featured artists. In fact, don't even make the album, just fucking work with them. I swear to christ, half these songs should be something like Ascension by Vince Staples ft. Gorillaz
i'm throwing an autistic fit but i cant believe that in 6 years between plastic beach and humanz, gorillaz hasnt learned a goddamn thing
Really like Saturnz Barz, Momentz,Submission, Charger, Andromeda, Busted and Blue, Let me out, She's my collar, The Apprentice, Out of Body, and Ticker Tape. The other songs will probably grow on me. It happens with every Gorillaz album.
>>72466832
Everyone shat on Plastic Beach but I really liked the album. The only songs I really didn't care for were welcome to the world of the plastic beach, White flag, and cloud of unknowing. I get what you mean though, I wish Albarn was featured a lot more, rather than completely relying on everyone else, but then again Gorillaz has always been about mashing him in with collaboration of other artists so it's kind of a stupid complaint I guess.
I didn't listen to the album carefully, but is Out of Body best song with its techno parts?
>>72457308
Such as Gorillaz?
>>72466949
>Gorillaz has always been about mashing him in with collaboration of other artists so it's kind of a stupid complaint I guess.
this doesnt even make any sense, gorillaz self titled and demon days have very little collaborations and theyre incredible.
>>72467075
Everything the Gorillaz has ever done, ever has been a collaberation you twat
>>72467075
"The Gorillaz" is literally just Damon Albarn (and Jamie Hewlett doing the art and such) everyone else is just a collaborator dude
>>72457086
only 4 good songs
busted and blue
andromeda
ascension
momentz
>>72457372
>let me out
>lame
Well, it's better than Plastic Beach for me, which is 'good enough'.
meh
>>72458607
Imagine that song with Damon Albarn singing all the lyrics. Would have been amazing.
In fact that pretty much goes for any of the songs on this shit record.
>>72466374
Skip to Andromeda, delete the rest.
If you liked momentz you should feel bad
>>72458810
Um... It's been getting pretty decent reviews actually. Pitchfork basically gave it 7/10
>>72459056
Agreed
But you forgot She's My Collar for best
>>72466352
Wtf are you talking about the entire album is dance songs you wonk
i understand but which one of you cucks has the link
*WARNING*
The bald slap head cunt is monitoring this thread, consuming your opinions like a sponge to formulate a YouTube video for the purpose of MAKING MONEY
Don't let yourselves be used
Worst song by far is "Circle of Friendz", I could not finish it.
>>72465393
>Not having premium
kek
>>72468848
>buying music
>>72468565
Good thing it wasn't included on the standard CD release then.
>>72467937
Momentz was amazing what are you talking about
>>72468513
What you gonna do about it?
This feels like a collection of singles featuring Damon every few songs. It doesn't even have a noticeable instrumental style or sound that ties the whole album together like the horns in Plastic Beach or the heavy use of choruses in Demon Days. It shouldn't even be called a Gorillaz album.
>>72468565
I agree that it's bad, but it's also only 2 minutes long. It wasn't that herculean of a task even though it was incessantly repetitive. Really should've built up to something.
>>72469292
I think there is a faint thread of continuity with Damon's instrumental style in that this is basically an album full of DAREs - club-ready electronica with some touches here and there to make it sound a bit more cartoonish than the norm. The same sort of wacky vibes that pervaded their first 2 albums are present here, and arguably even more so than on Plastic Beach. The problem, at least for me anyways, is that it's an album full of DAREs. That song was boring the first time and an album's worth of songs like it is hardly changing my opinion.
>>72457405
this
>>72464116
its not trolling if its true, 6 of 10 imo, 2/3 are shit just rambling on an idea but not really developing on it, some features are shit, the parts with the albarn vocals are ok and some features make the better parts of the album, ovehyped as shit like a failed try to make plastic beach 2
>>72464692
bet you dont hear new music very often
>>72464692
is listening to an album a rare thing
>>72462757
i have the same taste as you
>>72463192
nope, but definitely close
>>72468513
WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO
alert! alert!
WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO
>>72469292
stop acting like you listened to plastic beach when you complain about lack of damon on humanz
>>72457086
Marcus is that you
no
I honestly only know two of their songs, Feel Good Inc and Clint Eastwood or whatever
those two tracks are decent but I have no interest in delving into their discography when there's so much else to listen to
last 30 seconds of Saturnz Barz is the probably my favorite part of the album (the rest of the album is also good). All this hate just because people didn't expect/want black people music
