The Fall - Gorillaz

Rating: so good I love

Notes: gets way too much slack for what it is. I actually thought it was better (album, structure-wise) than plastic beach. I’m a sucker for good transitions and I just, really like it. Blame Splatoon for conditioning me to unconventional music I guess.

Standouts:
  • Hillbilly Man

Humanz - Gorillaz

Rating: a real grower

Notes: did NOT know people hated this album this much. It’s really really good and I personally think it’s in par with Demon Days and Plastic Beach. I got the theme of the album 3 songs in without any prior knowledge. Now that’s good theming. Transitions are godly, ascension is an amazing opener and we got the power actually feels like an ending
