The only post-Plastic Beach stuff I'd put on par with this new one is Bobby in Phoenix and maybe uhhhh Let Me Out I guess?

Let Me Out is like bottom third of Humanz for me but I love that album so whatever
this will come as a surprise to no-one but B&B is one of my favourite songs of the decade lol

"best gorillaz song since plastic beach tbqh"
now that is a stretch!
i don't really think it's better than Andromeda, for instance - like it could've been but D's vox are just a little too lazy/uninspired
maybe I owe it a few more listens but those were my feelings on the first two spinz

Andromeda is good but speaking of lazy/uninspired it's also like the most self-derivative gorillaz song of this era. gorillaz covering older gorillaz. that's not really a bad thing in the context of Humanz, since a lot of that album makes you long for that familiarity but yeah, not exactly a power move in their career.
I like some songs from Humanz... Strobelite, Submission, Charger, She's My Collar, The Apprentice, Out of Body, and Ticker Tape (the second half of which is a major highlight) but none of them got me as immediately fired up as this new track.
I also like Lake Zurich, Fire Flies, and Souk Eye but for similar reasons as Andromeda
Aries is a fresh style for Gorillaz, which seems oxymoronic for a band that basically parodies the pop lexicon, but they've never specifically done an 80s synthpop homage before. coincidently a genre/era of music i'm a huge sucker for. and if damon's vocals for that feel lazy or uninspired it's because they pitch-perfectly emulate the vocal style that niche is known for. halfway through my first listen i already felt like i'd teared up to that song while watching about a hundred different 80s or 80s inspired coming of age classics.

his vocals on Aries are way more engaging than the other two tbh, though in saying that he's obviously intending to take passenger seat to the guests

DARE was 80s synthpop as hell to me

Even if it was, ARIES and DARE arent stylistically comparable in any way

Dare is like a modern disco track with lil bits of 80s synthpop for crunch
|

Album Rating: 3.0
yeah dare gives me proto nu disco / electropop energy, a certain 80s flair certainly being inherent to the former but not at all indicative of the new wave post-punky synth-pop stylings of bands like joy division/new order, tears for fears, talking heads etc. pretty specific vibe, that.

I like some of the new songs but a lot of them suffer from being half bad and half good.

New album is going to redeem Gorillaz. This Elton John track is the bomb.
