Gorillaz - Cracker Island (February 24, 2023) Album • Page 7

I can get that. I love Possession Island and I actually have it on a playlist that I put on to go to sleep, but I definitely see how some may think it doesn't fit.

That's how I was a with Humility, it's a great song, but I felt like it was tonally completely different from the rest of the album.

 

perfect! I like the song. It’s just not what I’m looking for when I put this record on and listen in sequence. I always want the melancholy dance party to continue. Not end!

 

Only thing in my head yesterday was..."I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, ape ape ape ape ape..."

Might be my favorite Gorillaz track ever.

 

cool little Clint Eastwood interpolation here

 

I listened to self titled today, after listening to Cracker Island a few days ago... it's pretty jarring listening back to back that this is the same band, but if you listen to each album in order, it's an absolutely smooth transition over time that makes sense. I don't know what the point I am getting at here, but I find something about that pretty impressive

 

I think they have maintained a lot of their quality even if it's not always music I love

 

Yeah in retrospect I definitely get the impression that Damon didn't fully have the Gorillaz "sound" formed yet. It was originally meant to be a one-off project and you can definitely tell with the wildly different directions the album goes. There are much better Gorillaz albums imo but that aspect of it makes it very charming

 

watching their Coachella set right now, really good stuff, great setlist from across their discography

 

Bootie Brown is pretty amazing live, he absolutely destroyed it both times he came out

 

this has settled in nicely as my goto listening for a Sunday afternoon “happy run” where I get just a little high before starting.

just like Damon & the gang intended I’m sure

 

Running while high is underrated and I’m sure very few people agree with that lol

 

I can go for longer distances since I’m more prone to distraction and it make the tunes better for sure!

 

Gorillaz Cancel U.S. Tour

 

Yeah, I had tickets. It's a bummer.

 

“interlocking cluster bombs…”

Man, what a line for Stevie Nicks to come in on

 

no new news, but I just discovered this album as part of my recent African music discovery journey and it's dope af. highly rec'd.

 

curious what that's about, there's nothing new there as far as I can tell

 

It came from an email:

 

If I had to make an educated guess it's going to be unreleased content and something to celebrate the history of their 25th anniversary. Following that it will probably be their new album since Damon has been working on it for a while and said it's unlike anything Gorillaz has done before.

 

I'd kill for an anniversary tour of their first 2 albums. I really need to give Now Now and Cracker Island another chance becuase I honestly didnt really enjoy them. HumanZ and Plastic Beach are just ok. I know a lot of people here love PB, but when they went from Demon Days to that it felt like a step backwards.

 

Demon Days
Plastic Beach
Gorillaz
Song Machine
Humanz
Cracker Island
The Now Now
The Fall

 

Give me a super deluxe version of self titled with all the b sides, demos, etc etc etc
