So after watching the Saturnz Barz video I guess the budget they had this time was around 1/10th that of the last two phases. e: Is the website still just the Melancholy Hill video for everyone else? The link says pre-order and stream, drat it. stev fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Mar 23, 2017 |

I like all of the new tracks to different degrees (though I think Hallelujah Money is the best so far) but I generally prefer my Gorillaz a bit slower pace. It's always been chillout music to me. E: Just one track on the level of Empire Ants or El Manana would do me. Just one. Maybe two. stev fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Mar 23, 2017 |

So did anyone win tickets to tonight's secret gig? I talked myself out of pre-ordering on their website at the last second. So many regrets.

There really isn't much outside of Doncamatic, The Fall and Melancholy Hill.

I can't imagine We Got the Power will be any longer. You can add the whole album on Apple Music (but only listen to those four songs) and the two minute one is the one from the album. Unless they change the track on the album completely, but that seems unlikely. Maybe we'll actually get a H-Sides this time with an extended version? Or the longer one is the crazy expensive vinyl exclusive one.

What's with the honking? Is that just a censored version? Because the Apple Music one's the same...

Junior Jr. posted:Yeah, I thought this was a radio edit...I hope there is another version though. It's the same noise used in Ascension, which also has uncensored n-words. So maybe this is Damon's new favourite keyboard effect?  Song's good though. Reminds me of Demon Days more than the others.

Andromeda's remix basically brings the song to its full potential. The other three don't do a massive amount for me though.

It just occurred to me that Busted and Blue is the only track on the album without a vocal collaborator. It does seem that Damon's taken a backseat on vocals this time around in comparison to previous albums. I haven't heard B&B yet but my favourite track on each album has been a Damon heavy/solo one.

So did anyone go to one of these house party things? My nearest one's about a 40 minute walk but I can't really be hosed to listen to a probably not very good/stable stream.robot roll call posted:For me that's Hallelujah Money. They posted that video of it on Trump's inauguration night and it really stuck with me since then. It's probably my favorite on the album which is weird because I didn't think much of it on first listen. Yeah after letting that one marinate for a few months I really, really love it. stev fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Apr 22, 2017 |

I always thought Demon Days was way too well produced and polished and missed the rough edge that I loved in ST. Plastic Beach felt rough as gently caress again so to me it was a return to form. Typing that out makes me realise how dumb it is.

Far too much Albarn on the new track, he needs to step away from the mic and let the collaborators sing more imo.

I'm not sure. I like it but the vocals are unrefined as gently caress which would probably stop it from breaking out. Crain posted:Still thinking about it. But getting to New World and The Apprentice after We Got The Power is a pretty massive shift in tone. I feel like those belong after Elevator Going Up. I agree but they're not actually part of the album itself, just the bonus disc.

Gorillaz: Hey the world and music are pretty cool. They have their ups and downs but we should enjoy ourselves and live a little. Demon Days: Hey what the gently caress, world. We had a good thing going there. Plastic Beach: Oh come the gently caress on, sort it out planet earth. The Fall: I'M HIGH AS gently caress! Humanz: gently caress it, lets dance until we die. e: Huh, so the physical versions are just Noodle's face? I assumed that was just a placeholder.

hughesta posted:Plastic Beach is my least favorite album of theirs, and I still like it a whole lot. I think the problems some people take with it (myself included) is its sequencing. Glitter Freeze is probably the worst song to ever be put on a mainline Gorillaz album, and why it wasn't replaced with one if its many alternate versions just boggles my mind any time I hear it. Sweepstakes is a great song but placing it after Broken kind of ruins the flow of the second half of the album for me, and there are so many amazing songs recorded for PB that we never got (like Leviathan) that it kind of makes the record we got feel sort of flaccid. It's a really great album but compared to the rest it just feels a little undercooked. That alternative version of Glitter Freeze is way worse imo. And Leviathan doesn't sound particularly great from that snippet alone. I think PB is great but it doesn't have the immediate appeal that DD (and to a lesser extent ST) had. It's far more of a grower. I'd probably have said the same about Humanz if those first tracks didn't give me the chance to mentally prepare for something different.

I liked Sex Murder Party on the first couple of listens but after letting the album sink in it's the only track that sticks out as expendable. I'd have been in favour of swapping it out of The Apprentice (maybe not in the same slot though, maybe in the first half of the album).

I really don't get why they didn't give Andromeda a video. Of all the songs on the album it's the one by far most suited to Gorillaz' style of videos.

Regalingualius posted:They usually release a video for each of their album's singles over time, right? Idk they technically already released singles of the first five songs, and gave four of them crappy looping animations and Saturnz Barz a proper video. Who knows how this sort of thing works in a post streaming world though. What even is a single.

It's still an extremely political album though. It just doesn't have constant direct references to current politics (though it does have a fair few).

gently caress there are still tickets left for the O2 shows. That's a bit depressing. I feel dumb for jumping on the first overpriced seating tickets I could get in the presale.
