At the point they fully swithced to electronic.
Good quality in general, some lines are shit, but everything sounds pretty generic.

strobelite is great

momentz is 10/10

Fucking terrible. Hard to believe this came from the same dude who wrote Hong Kong.
4/10
>>
>>72486072
Asking the Gorillaz to sound like they used to is the anathema of the band.

Hong Kong is one of their best songs though, but I appreciate the nightmareish house party vibe for just being fresh compared to the rest of their work (but not so different from most music today, which is I think the issue).
>>
>>72486153
I'm not asking for them to sound the way they used to.
I'm asking for a decently written song that doesn't sound like a fucking ADHD inspired mess with jumbled features and no coherent hooks or melodies.
>>
8/10

The only tracks I didn't care for were Saturn Barz and Murder Sex Party.
The rest were pretty fantastic, and I thought the features went over incredibly well considering the diversity of the artists, all this while also have a very distinct sound to the whole record which definetly is identifiable as Gorillaz
>>
>>72486238
a forgettable album. Not in the sense is bad, but it has no soul
>>
6.5/10, i like almost every song, but the theme isn't very cohesive and the sound kinda blends in together, leading to a boring experience. Thinking of it as a "end of the world" party and visualizing each song as a level on an elevator helps the theme overall. I wish Grace Jones would've invoked more "Corporate Cannibal" vibes on the song "Charger"

4/10 where 5/10 is average
>>
The issue is that with so many songs and guest features, inevitably some songs you are guaranteed to like and some dislike.

That said its probably a 7 for me. Saturnz Barz and Let Me Out shine the most. Strobelight, Sex Murder Party and Out of Body I also really like.
>>
first time going through it 6/10

listening it again 8/10

listening to it several more times and outside, 9.5/10

ok

I hated it because a third of the songs are garbage. If I ignore that third, I like it a bunch.

1.
The music is in bad taste.
The songs are politically run, sometimes mentioning about harm to Trump.
The funk is gone.
Needs to think of better things than to get 'fit' with the generation.

I've heard it 3 times now, I don't really pay attention to lyrics.

>Rating: 5 / 10

Certainly their best in a decade, but there were too many irritating noises/vocals and it felt like it was trying somewhat too hard to feel "modern" and I felt moments of trying to imitate Random Access Memories in there, which wasn't as good of an album as many make it out to be.

Andromeda, Let Me Out, and Sex Murder Party stood out to me.

>>72485651

5/10 to much filler, they are suposed too be a collaboration band, but ruined a lot of the songs with shit instrumentals, clearly dont know hot to produce rap, couldnt even make the bars fall on beat, but got out of their way to do so(to imprres his tennage daughter WTF), failing miserably, imo should stick to feaure indie electronica like little dragon or more rappers like vince, pusha and danny got buried on their tracks, some decent songs but didnt live up to the hype, lees than 40% of the whole album actually listenable, fail at using dumb useles interludes, should take notes from kendrik, or madlib or Wu tang next time

Fuck it, it's a 4.

7/10. Some of the songs are growing on me but most are nothing to write home about. I think too many collab tracks broke up the flow.

>this song is not intended to be "good" or make people dance to it
>this song has a message, and once you sit down and pay attention to it
>you will stop thinking that it is a bad song
How fucking deluded do you have to be to think this way? Many of System of a Down's songs have a message to them, yet they're still very good songs. If your song is "not intended to be 'good'" but instead, just that it "has a message", your song is shit and will always be shit. I fucking hate these people
Humanz is alright. Busted and Blue is great, Saturnz Barz grew on me a bit

I agree with 7. It's a good album but not amazing or anything. It has some great songs but it's very bloated and could be trimmed down and still be a good length.

I fucking hated the album my first listen.

I cut out 5 tracks from the standard tracklist, listened to it though, and it's amazing.

7/10 legitimately good album loaded with filler

4 or 5 maybe

nothing memorable. some nice production but songwriting is lacking. least fav gorillaz. not impressed.

I just wanna say it's fucking hard as hell to match up to Demon Days and Plastic Beach. That being said, the people in this thread that are complaining about it being too political need to go back and listen to the Demon Days and Plastic Beach. Both are so political.

6/10 on first listen
5/10 on the next several listens and now isn't worth my time. The anti-Trump shit is already stale as fuck - you won't be able to go back to this in a decade like Demon Days.

Band had two amazing albums and the rest is mediocre. Leave them back in the 2000's

I shout along to most songs while driving in the car with a smile on my face. 9 out of 10 would take out some of the non-song interludes.

this bait gets me because Steven Colbert is actually an unabashed fan of Gorrilaz, was long before he started the late show

he did a neat bit on The Colbert Report so that "Steve Colbert" the person, not the character, would do an interview with Albarn and Hewlitt back in 2010

>>72493730
Listening to it in its entirety again I changed my mind on Momentz and She's My Collar
>>
>>72485651
The songs I liked:
Ticker Tape
She's my collar
Carnival
Submission
Strobelite
Halfway to a halfway house.

The other songs didn't really catch me, but I do have a few issues with the songs I liked. Submission has the solid female vocals, but they follow it up with Rucka Rucka ali-esque rapping which throws me off too much.

A lot of the songs would switch up the beat or change drastically and it started to feel almost formulaic
>>
>>72485651
6. I like a good amount of the songs but the ones i don't like, I can't stand listening to at all.
>>
>>72487571
this deseueu
>>
6/10
>>
>>72485651
5-6. Really let down.
>>
7. There are only 4 songs that are just meh - strobelite, circle of friendz, halfway to the halfway house, and busted and blue. Though the more I listen to some of those the more I might like them. I've listented to Hallelujah Money which I was confused about at first, but now I fucking love it and I love Benjamin Clementine's At Least For Now. Same for Let Me Out. I have no idea how I didn't care for Let Me Out much upon first listen.
>>
Kinda feels like greastest hit songs pakage from every new "electronic genge" like; deep house,jammie xx shit, and future funk. I kinda like it.

7.5/10
