First impressions on new one



Strange Timez: 3/5

The Valley of the Pagans: 2/5

The Lost Chord: 3.5/5

Pac-Man: 3/5

Chalk Tablet Towers: 1/5

The Pink Phantom: 4.5/5

Aries: 5/5

Friday 13th: 3.5/5

Dead Butterflies: 3.5/5 (lol oh shit its baby eyes from Top Boy)

Desole: 4/5

Opium: 3.5/5

Simplicity: 2.5/5

Severed Head: 2.5/5

Some of the 3.5's that weren't previously released will likely grow a lot like some of the singles did.

I just realized Opium is a bonus track, one of the best on the album. My other favs are The Lost Chord, Aries, and Desole.

I just woke up so I'm not doing maths but I'm pretty sure the standard averages out pretty highly and the deluxe is slightly lower. but again, Gorillaz

That is some loathsome artwork on Song Machine, looks like a 2009 gfx design tutorial

CTT is bad but it's at least funny whereas Friday and With Love are just actively terrible

I mostly agree with potsy's rating. CTT fucking sucks. That and how far are both insta skips for me. Friday 13th is bound to get into my top 10 faves, love the way it builds up, the reggae vibe and octavian's raspy voice fits really snuggly with it, too.

Damn I'm really liking Song Machine so far, not really getting the hate for CTT? It's a bit goofy but I thought it was fine enough

I honestly think How Far? is fine once you pretend it's not supposed to have a Tony Allen feature

Yeah its a disappointing final Tony Allen feat and having skepta as a guest saying wagwan is a meme but the meme that is having a kano feat kind of takes the heat off of it



its okay
