new one is comically better than this, best since Plastic Beach

I have a really hard time believing that.
Haven't clicked with any of the singles.

New ones dropped!? Liked this album to be fair so if it's better, then it's a bonus!

Album Rating: 3.5

I don't really get the Cracker Island hate. I thought it was their strongest since Plastic Beach, with lots of fun tracks and the highest average quality in a while.



Didn't check any of the singles of the new one. Glad to see it's getting some love.



I'll check it out later today.

Haven't clicked with any of the singles. [2]



they were all horrible

singles were mostly bops. excited to the listen to the new one over the weekend, def feels like their most ambitious in yonks

I like the new one a lot. Easily best since Plastic Beach anyway.

The new one is good, but it's definitely going to require multiple listens. I enjoyed Cracker Island because it felt like a nice collection of fun Gorillaz tunes, capturing everything Albarn does well as a writer. This album is dense, and while I love the atmosphere it feels plodding at times. There isn't a whole lot of joy in it, but maybe that's the point.

Well it is inspired by death and grief, (Albarn and Hewlett's fathers died within 10 days of each other). That said, it definitely still has some poppier moments (even if the subject matter is dark).

new one will age very well, in a couple years no one will even remember this one lmao



Empty Dream Machine/Manifesto is their best 10 minutes of music since like... the last 3 on Demon Days

Agree that the new album is their best since Plastic Beach. Really, really enjoying it.
