>underrated by critics
lmao

More like overrated by critics. That shit is 3/10 at best.

This is album is shit not only in music but what it means for Gorillaz. Gorillaz had a certain charm for it's first four albums. Something indescribable but emotionally identifiable. The self-titled album, Demon Days, Plastic Beach, and The Fall couldn't be more different in terms of style, but they all shared that common sense of Gorillaz charm.

This album is a fucking soulless pile of garbage and completely lacks any sense of Gorillaz charm, and completely goes against every album before it in the absolute worst way, Gorillaz had mainstream elements, yes, but it was only the smallest amount. Meanwhile Humanz goes to great lengths to abuse every mainstream rap and pop cliche

So Anon, I say this to you, the reason that the Humanz tour is sold out, is because Gorillaz sold out

This, humanz was shit
At least sleeping powder was good

>>73811669
Agreed, not to mention the actual gorillaz are hardly on the album at all. Overshadowed by all the shitty features

>>73811418
I can understand not liking it but I really don't get the hate

>underrated by critics
>77 meta score
Should have 57 metascore desu

>>73811731
See

Humanz was to the gorillaz what fallout 4 was to that series

>>73811746
>>73811757
but taking the "it's not like Gorillaz" stuff aside it's a solid album
I liked it because I got tired of Gorillaz. similarly, I thought Sleeping Powder was bad

>>73811757
So an interesting and enjoyable expansion to a pre-estabilished franchise?

>>73811782
Exactly, it's not the gorillaz. I listen to the gorillaz because I enjoy that gorillaz sound. Maybe it's not a terrible album in its own right but as a gorillaz album it's shitty and a disappointment. That's why the fallout analogy works so well. It's the exact same scenario.

>>73811782
Like the other anon said, it has no soul, just an over produced cash grab, and you were dumb enough to buy into it

>>73811798
More like a decent game but a shitty fallout game. They both throw away everything that made them special in exchange for a more shallow and mainstream product. I could talk for hours about fo4 but this is /mu/ not /v/

>>73811832
fuck off. you're blinded by nostalgia. Humanz is no less special than their other albums.

/mu/ hates Humanz because we expected a Gorillaz album and we got a Gorillaz 'playlist', similar to Drake's More Life. It would have been more well-received around here if it was marketed as such.

>>73811864
you're not special for liking Gorillaz. this album is just as average as their other albums.

>>73811847
Hey dip ass, Humanz isn't bad because it doesn't sound like old Gorillaz, it's bad because it sounds absolutely nothing like Gorillaz.

ffs The Getaway and 8 sound radically different from previous RHCP and Incubus albums, but they still have a sense of RHCP and Incubus flair

Humanz simply does not have Gorillaz flare

>>73811883
>we expected a Gorillaz album and we got a Gorillaz 'playlist'

that's actually a great way of putting it. The feel of the album seems more palatable if you buy into the conceit, the notion of it being a collection of songs for a dance party at the end of the world. But then what does it say about the music if it falls flat devoid of that context? The "theme" of this album lends itself to feeling less connected, less thematic than previous Gorillaz albums as the songs do feel more standalone, especially when the main through-line of the band is largely absent.

>>73811669
damn...

>>73811418
It's depressing that they could release an album so mediocre. It's not even terrible, but there's nothing at all to go back to.

>>73811418
I wanna see one of these concerts.
Just watching Damon and the others sit on the side of the stage and clap along as a new feature goes up and plays their song.

Pretty sure most people are interested in the older songs from the good albums and not Humanz shit. That's why my friend got tickets anyways

>>73811669
the thread is over

>>73812617
This

I thought it was a great album desu. Solid 8/10
/mu/ overreacts to everything. It's best to ignore any opinion here on an album that's less than 5 years old

>>73811669
The Fall is shit and was only made to promote the iPad , shut the fuck up

>>73811669
that's it, it doesn't get any better than this post

>>73811418
Pretty sure at least 1/3rd of those ticket "sales" went to robots that are currently reselling those tickets on stubhub for 5x the face value.

honestly, just based on looking at their live streams, it kinda seems like gorillaz would suck live. i wouldn't go just to watch damon albarn dance poorly and play a keytar while a picture of 2d is displayed in the background on a projector

>>73813358
The Fall was made because Albarn was bored on a tour bus you fucking moron, it had nothing to do with "promoting the iPad"

Do your research before you open your stupid fucking mouth

The Fall >>>>>>> Humanz

>>73811669
This honestly

And its funny how Albarn put out Sleeping Powder a month or two after its release and it sounded great and reminiscent of something off Plastic Beach or even Demon Days. The fact of the matter is that Albarn KNOWS what the Gorillaz "sound" is but, like was already said, sold out for cliches and to fit in with the mainstream crowd

>>73811418
You know that they tour sold out almost everywhere because the tickets where for like 1 dollar, right?

>>73813340
so its best to ignore your opinion also

>>73813511
Of course. You should listen for yourself

>>73813340
get the fuck out of here with that "desu" shit you fucking weeb

>>73813409
Imagine actually thinking this

>>73813589
He could have write something else because even if you write T B H it can change to desu.

>>73813606
I mean he's not wrong for thinking The Fall is better than the heap of dogshit that is Humanz. Its not leagues better but its definitely better. Revolving Doors is actually a pretty solid song

>>73813589
Newfag detected.

>>73813637
When the fall came out /mu/ agreed it was total dreck. Let's see how people view humanz in 6 years as well

The album had some good songs but in the end it was nothing special

>>73814632
I feel the same way.

it became damon + various artists the album.
and all the various artists came with their subpar material.

26 mediocre songs -_-

The Gorillaz shows sold out because the name Gorillaz is on the show being sold. That simple.

>pretentious introduction
>negroid rapper raps a rap
>inoffensive middlebrow filler follows
>second negroid guest
>zany, off the wall instrumentation with shallow lyrics
>de la soul phoning in terrible verse, sounding diabetic
>finally a good song (hallelujuah money)
>more inoffensive trash

its like their not even trying

>>73811844
I hate that fucking phrase fuck you, Humanz isn't a decent anything.

>>73816554
Hallelujah Money isn't even good, just a fucking stoned out shitty electronic drum beat with some guy practicing his Morgan Freeman impression to it

>>73817487
