I preordered this thing a while ago and it's getting here by Tuesday next week. Can't wait to peep the packaging, pics I've seen look class.

@rabid yeah man its inconsistent as fuk but damn the highlights are danke af. I didnt even really find albarn under-utilized tbh. he had pretty big parts on pretty much all of the songs worth talking about.

Halfway to the Halfway House - 4/5

Album Rating: 4.0

skipped The Apprentice?

Album Rating: 3.5

Fuck yea man i think along those lines as well

and oh sorry the Apprentice fucking ruled 4/5 or something

Out of Body 4/5 yup

Ticker Tape 4/5

circle of friends sucks but its a better closer than we got the power so yeah anyway i'm just gonna go ahead and pretend the version that ends with we got the power doesn't exist at all

Album Rating: 3.5

It should end with ticker tape, agreed

yeah its kind of unfortunate that it ends wrong twice. but yeah i dunno every gorillaz album has a shit song or two, this one might have a couple more than their last couple albums but its also 26 songs long so the ratio is pretty standard if ya think about it

Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Off

My main complaint with this album is that many of the guest stars this time round don't gel with the Gorillaz cartoon universe, and as such don't feel like characters from within it. They feel like outsiders

Album Rating: 4.0

Nah, Circle of Friends is a legitimately good closer; It works much, much better at least and albeit repetitive is a nice mantra.

Might as well be titled "Damon Albarn collaborates with assorted pop and hip-hop artists: the motion picture"

"My main complaint with this album is that many of the guest stars this time round don't gel with the Gorillaz cartoon universe, and as such don't feel like characters from within it. They feel like outsiders"

that has definitely happened before this album.

besides, its pretty evident from a lot of their vids that the guests on gorillaz tracks aren't always a part of their world anyway

not to mention this one kinda seems like it takes place in ours.
