Gorillaz - Cracker Island (February 24, 2023) Album • Page 2

Yeah, definitely an unexpected one haha! I’m into it though

 

well this song is cool as hell

 

They played it live when I saw them a month or so ago and I thought it was incredible and I still do

Very weird that they've released literally half of the album and it still doesn't come out for two and a half months though

 

Damon mentioned his frustrations with this album rollout. It was the label's fault, the album was done forever ago apparently.

This whole thing has been weird. The cover art, the album title, Jamie not knowing the album title vs the "phase/your" title, etc.

 

Oh wow I didn't realize Damon said something about it. Yeah the cover/title are wack too, it was such a homerun to name it The Last Cult and go with something like the awesome aesthetic of the tour but it all just seems so lazy

All of the songs have been fantastic so far at least, and that's the most important thing

 

Cracker Island being the album name and the art along with it are the biggest misses Gorillaz has ever done besides the shitty quality of a lot of their merch apparel.

 

Definitely their weirdest release, and that says something

 

what a fucking wild song lol, didn't know they had it in em still

 

Skinny Ape is probably my favorite song from the band since... I dunno, Humanz?!?!

 

Super excited

 

Silent Running is pretty solid

 

I know this rollout seems bizarre, but someone is doing something right, new music video premiered 10 hours ago and almost has half a million views

 

Yeah I usually hate album rollouts where half the album is released as singles before release day, but they've been killing it with this. Cracker Island has been their best Billboard Charts performance since Feel Good Inc. New Gold also has a wild number of streams. Plus all the cool vinyl variants. I have a feeling this is gonna be their best first week performance since Plastic Beach.

 

This song is sooo good

 

Just saw him with Gorillaz a couple months ago and he had so much energy, so sad

 

Damon Albarn shares musical tribute to De La Soul's David "Trugoy The Dove" Jolicoeur

had no idea there was a bonus track with De La coming too, that's gonna be an emotional listen

 

Real cool cover of On Melancholy Hill

 

I saw this on the subreddit! Very upsetting because I would love to see what they came up with for a full plot in that world. Now it will never happen.

Also, fuck Netflix. They produce so much trash and cancel anything good, of course they botched this.

 

looks like the album is out there

 

Oh realllllllly.

 

Yeah it broke street date at Target and the vinyl shipped early

 

hate to say it but I'm not that into this. kinda feels like a collection of stuff they had lying around that has in common... being Gorillaz songs and nothing else. funny considering that their last one was literally a collection of singles but feels wayyyy more cohesive than this

actually wish they'd just called this Song Machine s2 and saved the Last Cult stuff for a conceptual thing, it would've gone down easier I think. still some great cuts on here it just feels slightly autopilot to me
