whats different about this album and the other 2 is that its almost exclusively produced by Murdoc

so what you're saying is that while the last 2 albums were produced by damon albarn, this one was almost exclusively produced by damon albarn

I knew there was no real way you could pass up that opportunity.  Thanks for peppering up this thread with that patented tbacorp flavor

[rtil]

problem?

Most of the non-rap tracks are great but I dislike most of the rap songs on the album. I generally hate rap though. Also, I like the album better than Demon Days but I never really cared for DD though. Their first studio album is solid stuff though.

[anigen]

oh and their best song is still clint eastwood

i agree. also systek im surprised you like tomorrow comes today, i thought i was the only one who liked that song

[RichChap]

what's with all the orchestrated hip-hop? that doesn't seem very gorillaz.

i think damon albarn's voice is a major part of what makes the gorillaz sound like the gorillaz, and with all the featured artists it just sounds kind of different.


i also feel that a lot of the artists really don't fit the gorillaz style.

If that's the case, then no wonder their second album wasn't very good. His vocals sucked on that album compared to their first one.

[rtil]

actually he's been pretty damn consistent throughout all three albums. otherwise the gorillaz wouldn't have an authentic sound.

i've listened to the album enough times now to know which songs i like and which i dont

good:
rhinestone eyes
superfast jellyfish
empire ants
on melancholy hill
to binge
broken

ok:
the world of the plastic beach
white flag
stylo - would be good without bobby womack
glitter freeze
pirate jet

bad:
some kind of nature - doesn't sound like gorillaz at all
sweepstakes ... talk about mind-numbingly repetitive, horrible beat too

i'd still say the album is average mostly due to some bad choices for guest artists. the exception to the rule here being little dragon, she reminds me of the guest vocals on 'all alone' from demon days. really great voice for gorillaz

[DrRumack]

some kind of nature doesnt sound like gorillaz but i still like it

[W.A.C.]

Sweepstakes is fucking terrible. Probably the worst song Gorillaz ever made.

but yeah sweepstakes is ass. breaks the flow of the album imo

[ZekeySpaceyLizard]

I liked each song.

But glitterfreeze, rhinestone eyes, and superfast jellyfish were my favorites by a long shot.

[anigen]

ive really been warming up to rhinestone eyes. empire ants is amazing though, i really cant wait until they make the video for it

[Fluffkomix]

oh and their best song is still clint eastwood

i agree. also systek im surprised you like tomorrow comes today, i thought i was the only one who liked that song

tomorrow comes today is the only song i have ever liked that is slow and sounds sad. all the songs i like are upbeat and happy or such

preordered it, can't wait to hear it. all i've heard is stylo and superfast jellyfish and i think they're both great though stylo could use some improvements.

okay i'm lying i only liked stylo because of the music video it wasn't all that great.
