The new Gorillaz album leaked.

Can someone ysi the Doom track? Mine didn't come with it.

Getting to hear a better quality version of Dirty Harry has made the pisspoor quality of the rap a lot more obvious.

I can't believe it took so long before someone posted that.

but i'm waiting till the proper product drops.

i like the tension and the build up.

glad to see its getting some fine responses though ..

Can you YSI it? Gmail? Pigeon carrier? Sublimate?

Gorillaz had to have raked in a lot of cash for the automator, and I bet this one will do the same for Dangermouse.

SPOILER ! :

the bit where martina topley bird comes in on 'all alone' must rank as one of the most heart-stopping surprises on a record in living memory. like so much of the lp it really shouldn't work but just...does.

it's redefining the term 'eclectic' for me too.

it's weird, the songs never feel like they're going to fall apart any minute, but when you listen you're sort of thinking
'how is this hanging together so well?'

"And I'm balding/and I wish I wasn't/Oh Justine, if only/Hmmm hmmm where is Graham?"

huge fun.

m.e

I find it kind of funny that the songs with less albarn are being released as singles.

Well, the track listing, at least.

1.Intro
2.Seagull Massacre
3.Broken (featuring Mos Def)
4.Stylo (featuring Bruce Willis)
5.Electric Shock (featuring De La Soul)
6.Satan’s Burlesque (featuring the Horrors)
7.Pirate Ship (featuring Mark E Smith and Einar Örn Benediktsson)
8.Sweep Stakes (featuring Mos Def)
9.Carousel (featuring De La Soul)
10.Sloped Tropics (featuring De La Soul)
11.Twilight (featuring Ozzy Osbourne)
12.Daydream Daemon (featuring Mos Def)
13.Plastic Beach (featuring Lou Reed)
14.Banana Bunch (featuring Snoop Dog)
15.Arming The Nation (featuring Barry Gibb and Bobby Womack)
16.Closing Time

Mark E Smith!!!!

What an odd list of collaborators! Lots of Mos Def though, I like that.

4.Stylo (featuring Bruce Willis)
11.Twilight (featuring Ozzy Osbourne)
14.Banana Bunch (featuring Snoop Dog)

OK there is pretty much no way these three won't be totally horrific but the rest should yield some dece tracks.

"Some grizzled old piratey-looking guy"

".. Bruce Willis."

i guess a la dennis hopper doing a monologue.
at least i hope so.
not got much hope for this to be honest.
i think its easy to figure out why i loved the 1st and 2nd albums (the excess of jamie h art in the books/videos etc being the main pull for me).
i have read in recent times that jamie has been heard to say how he never wants to draw the characters again, so i'm a little concerned this new phase will have none of the same humour/inventiveness to make me reach for my wallet.
even the leaked album art looks, umm, nothing special (though its an early leak, so could easily change).
i (as do emi if they release this, as 'monkey' went to XL after some legal hiccup) hope i'm wrong ..

7.Pirate Ship (featuring Mark E Smith and Einar Örn Benediktsson)

Mark E Smith and Einar on the same song? This is either going to be genius, or something that you play loudly at parties to see who leaves

Well, hopefully both

Yak about it there. It's Damon so it's *good* yak.

4.Stylo (featuring Bruce Willis)
The return of Bruno!

haha. brilliant.

really looking forward to hearing the barry gibb track. has he guested on any other albums recently?

Satan’s Burlesque (featuring the Horrors)

This is where I jumped over the side of the boat.

The Horrors are a very good band these days, live and on record

You might be right but in my head they're the goth Primal Scream so No Sale.

Is it bad that you might have just sold them to me as "the goth Primal Scream?"

hey, it's not a moral judgement, if that floats your boat

Hm.

you think robert would've sang on the song if he knew the word "times" would be spelled with an irreverent "z" at the end?

2 Late to change his mind now

Four "different" cassette editions?

So this is out now and while I wasn’t a fan of how they handled half of the features in past efforts, I feel they nail it this time around, they manage to adjust to the style of the guests while being consistent as a whole album.

Album*

I thought Plastic Beach did that pretty well, true respect for anyone who can "feat." Lou Reed, MES and De La Soul without losing their footing.

surprised that this seems to be getting a fairly positive response after the last few records were pretty dire

yeah this is actually pretty good. it's nothing spectacular but much much better than their last few and the most i've enjoyed any albarn project in a long long time, probably since demon days? i agree with moka that the guests feel integrated into the whole much better than usual.

Gorillaz by the numbers but like hearing a new song from Damon Albarn.

^^intro made me smile

Yeah just found out about that one. No idea how I’ve never seen that piece of trivia before. Having one of your most popular songs built pretty much completely around a cheap synth preset is awesome.

Damon weirdly amicable on this interview too, almost every interview I’ve seen of him he looks like he’s hungover and would rather be anywhere else.

Really surprised by how much I like this new one, I dig the melancholy vibe through most of it. That last one had higher peaks, but this might be my favorite front to back Gorillaz since Plastic Beach (which I guess isn't saying much considering how blah I've found most of them to be).

YSI?

lol
