For me it goes like this



Debut- style over substance, let's build a brand up disposable bullshit with tunes. Won't last 5mins.

Demon Days - Eeking out an existence on some amazingly crafted tunes. Surely the 'project' will be put to bed now though???

Plastic Beach - Yep, definitely getting found out now. Good,Bad&Queen are a lot better.

This - A bloody great pop record with soul. The plasticity of the project has melted away to leave a diamond.

Demon Days' songwriting is so damn tight, it's a perfect pop record and nothing they do could ever top it. Time and place, lightning in a bottle.



I love this though, it has some great tunes and there's more hits than misses. People who say there's too many features are fucking idiots since that was always the Gorillaz ethos- it's a platform for artists to shine with Damon at the helm. "It doesn't sound like Gorillaz" bugs me too because the Gorillaz sound is always evolving, the trip hop elements are there as with their other projects but this has more of a house/electronic focus.

I'm with ya dude.

I'm confused that the lack of superficiality this time round has people rejecting it. Well I say people it's mostly yanks.

The American crowd want more Damon and hooks, that's a big complaint I've seen.



The gimmicks are less prevalent and people are complaining about it. When Hallelujah Money dropped people were slagging it off and I was so confused because I thought it was a stroke of genius.

Demon Days is near perfect, yeah



Of course their sound has evolved with every new release, I just struggle to detect the Hewlett aesthetic in the songs themselves, which has never been an issue on a Gorillaz record for me before

Hallelujah Money bloody blew me away when I first heard it. Original and stirring stuff.

Benjamin Clementine obviously wasn't compelling enough for most people. Should've got fucking Jimmy Fallon instead, get him to do it in a funny voice.

I'm glad they released Hallelujah Money so early, it had to simmer and grow and eventually it showed itself as one of the best tracks on the album (and also should be the real closer)

Yeah silly voices that people can say is 'noodle' being all 'cute' Make it all about the aesthetics and the absorbed bullshit culture that actually influenced the creation of the 'Gorillaz' in the first place.

People over intellectualising a bad album. Sounds like 'Blue Lines' Z-Sides

The people complaining the most are the people who don't shut up about 'growing up' with the band like Damon himself babysat them. You didn't 'grow up' with them, you listened to them a few times as a kid. It's been 12 years since Feel Good Inc was released now, the project has grown up and you should too.
