Best song on this album is Out of Body. Prove me wrong.

>>72500197
saturnz barz is better

>>72500212
Great song, would be slightly better without auto tune. But not better than the club banger Out of Body.

Out of Body is fantastic.
Hard to pick a favorite, I love so many tracks. I'd love to swap She's My Collar out for The Apprentice, though.

If I have to choose a favorite, it would be Hallelujah Money, though. Benjamin Clementine's voice is just too good.

I'm loving strobelite so much right now. Especially after seeing the live version.
I mean damon is having such fun with this album. Look at those glasses and that keytar goddamn.
The dude is almost 50 years old but he still making music with contemporaries and music that sound from this era but also it has his own touch.
Do you see yourself is his position at that age? The man is a legend and I can't blame him for some weak tracks on the album. He's enjoying his life.
I don't understand why people have to be so pathethic and cherrypick about every little shit in here.

Ah ... Messrs Lemar and Albarn appear to employ the same maketing company.

Gonna be honest here, if not for Circle of Friendz I'd say Out of Body is the worst of the proper bonus tracks. Really not a fan, but I'm also not a fan of the album in general.

Why is everyone sleeping on Ticker Tape?!?!?! It's like a sequel to Busted and Blue

He's right, you know...

More good songs than bad songs on the album that's for sure.

The girl on Out of Body sounded cute.

I hate hip-hop, my favourite tack on Humanz was Hallelujah Money the album was awful, the only good Gorillaz album is Plastic Beach.

That's about all I have to say.

God tier
Andromeda
She's my collar
Charger
Momentz
Saturnz Barz
Busted and blue
Hallelujah money

Strobelite
Submission
Let me out
The apprentice

Meh tier
Sex murder party
Halfway to the halfway
Out of body

Bad tier

Circle of friends

They're all trash

It should've been on the main album proper in one way or another, even if I like The Apprentice more out of the bonus tracks.

It's a very different track from them. I can feel some semblance of Gorillaz in almost all of the main tracks but Out Of Body is the only track that treads new ground and sounds surprisingly good while doing so.

Also, Halfway to the Halfway House sounds totally like something that could've been on D-Sides.

What album? No way this shit holds up.

Its seriously Corey Feldman tier garbage but I'll forgive Damon for making his cashgrab so long as the US tour setlists are 90% old shit

couldn't prove you wrong if I wanted to, OP.

>>72502293
I don't think the album is super great either but this is some hyperbole. The worst thing I can say about most of these tracks are that they just ain't for me where-as Corey Feldman is just unabashedly terrible self indulgence.

>>72500197
I was a big gorillaz fan and my friend was playing this album in the car today. Most of the tracks were pretty easy to toss away and forget about. Damon is so committed to frankly having black people in his music that its hamfisted instead of genuine and good. I also noticed the beats for these songs being very similar and repetitive. Very disappointed to be honest.

>>72502370
All of the featured artists sounds like they're in pain. I never would have guessed Albarn to be capable of creating such a hellish studio environment

>>72501480
If you remove Damon you remove Gorillaz. Then it becomes the featured artists song with out Gorillaz. Just their name stays and people buy it because "Gorillaz made it". That's the problem with this album imo - Damon pushed all these artists to the front that the songs no longer sound like Gorillaz.

>>72502449
well they are just no longer good songs because of the contrived need to mash all these artists in

>>72500499
The fuck are you talking about? You're listening to that song wrong.

>>72502449
Busted and Blue is the most "Damon" song on the album but I wouldn't say it sounds the most "Gorillaz"-like. If anything it sounds like something he could've put on his solo record. Gorillaz is more than just Damon's vocals, it's his production and how he brings out the best of everyone who's involved. On that note I think you can make the case that Humanz is a little bit unadventurous - Submission is a great track but Danny Brown's contribution to it doesn't sound much different from features he does for other artists.

My problem with this album is that it feels like one of those albums that DJs and producers put out with a ton of features. I was looking forward to seeing how far more interesting artists lile Vince Staples would sound on some Gorillaz-y beats. It's not like the previous albums where Snoop Dogg became a Gorillaz character. Momentz is a Gorillaz song. She's My Collar is this album's To Binge. Andromeda is just good.

You jobbers are underrating The Fall on this board lately. Go listen to it again.

Am I the only person who wants a few tracks that feature only the "Gorillaz" and no guest artists?

As in, Damon and other anonymous singers doing vocals/playing as the characters.

>>72502930

The lyrics are only one layer

The production of the music that supports them provides the depth, especially in the context of the song and the album

>>72502976
If depth for you is garageband with Damon slapping his dick against a synth at random on top, mastered with audacity preset effects

>>72503065

I'm sorry that you aren't able to appreciate the music. You're missing out on something wonderful.

>>72503065
If criticism for you is mentioning a genre and then slapping your dick on a random insult generator


Granted this album does lack the same genuine emotion of earlier works

Busted and Blue is the best.

I REALLY like Halfway to the Halfway House. It's probably my favorite. Who's with me?

>>72504481
I've said this before but that shit sounds like it's straight out of D-Sides, or at least some of those unused audio clips we got in the Plastic Beach trailers.

>>72505334
this desu

The entire album is a disjointed, unfocused mess. That said, I took out Momentz and Sex Murder Party and the Intro and all the interludes and it's actually an enjoyable listen now.

Are any of the bonus tracks worth checking out? I might fuck around with adding B-Sides and rearranging it in an attempt to make an actual good album.

I want to say fuck you for removing one of the best tracks on the album but consider checking out at least The Apprentice and Out Of Body

>>72502893
I'd be okay with this,unless they can get little dragon/Yukimi Nagano again.

>>72500643
I think it's because mosthe people see The Gorillaz as more than just Damon Albarn. It's bigger than him at this point. An unfortunate side-effect of creating a concept band and distancing yourself from it in an artistic attempt.

>>72505597
Which song do you consider good? Sex Murder Party? I really, really don't get that song. I've listened to the whole album like five or six times trying to comprehend it and that song just makes me angry.

Maybe I'll be able to get it after my album remake experiment and have fully digested the rest of the album.

>Benjamin Clementine's voice is just too good

I just listened to Out of Body. It's trash. Production that sounds like it's straight out of a late 90s Britney Spears song. Too many interludes breaking up the song and killing momentum. Pointless nonsensical lyrics. I can scarecly imagine this moving anybody if played in a club.

I'm genuinely curious how anyone could think this is a great song. In the grand scheme of music, it's pathetic and forgettable, much like OP.

>>72505334
Humanz also has the most songs out of them

>>72506417
25 featured artists in an album of 18 songs without the interludes seems like quite a lot anon.

>>72509590
If it really was anon then my condolences.

Having said that it's not the first time they've culled lyrics. For a while Del's version of Clint Eastwood wasn't the one they performed because of a fallout between him and Damon. Glitter Freeze used to have more Mark E. Smith in it. D.R.A.M. had more vocal presence in Andromeda where-as on the final album he might as well not exist (in my opinion a good change cause his vocal performance made that song way too busy). Unfortunately shit's gotta give at times. Charger is one of the best songs on the album and I wouldn't change anything about it. Jones adds a malevolent presence to the manic nature of the track.

>>72509959
One of the guys from de la soul recently mentioned that they were originally recording for kids with guns but when damon played them Feel Good Inc, they wanted to perform on that instead
