Danny's flow is so good, I think he fits the track perfectly. Vince has the best rap verses on this album though.

I really need to get around to listening to the rest of the album at some point. I've just kept hitting replay on Saturnz Barz ever since it downloaded...
In all honesty this album seems set up for block listening, I really like how...
- Interlude: The Non-Conformist Oath
- Submission
- Charger
Flow into each other as one big track, from the pumped up intro for "Submission" looping before the end of the Oath as the laughter leads into "Submission" and then as the Guitar cranks subtly appear through "Submission" (Mid way point and just after Danny's verse) and the at the end as it drops right into "Charger".
You can hear something similar in "Interlude: New World" ending and the start of "The Apprentice".
Just to drop in as well, it goes to show how divisive older Gorillaz albums too, I've seen people in this thread slate tracks like "Glitter Freeze" and "Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head" when they were some of my fave tracks from the older albums!

I can't choose a favorite right now, but holy fuck Strobelight & Submission.
Also don't understand the hate for Momentz, it might be the best song on the album but not my favorite so far.

their performance on Colbert from thursday night seems to have been deleted from CBS's website and youtube. Is there anywhere I can still see it? wonder why they'd delete it like that.

Seriously, how can someone dislike Danny on Submission? It's one of the best tracks on the album!
Junior Dan even plays bass!

I dig the album a lot, having finally gave it a good full listen today. It certainly finds its own place, much like every other Gorillaz album, but very much is a Gorillaz album
However, it still feels uneven compared to Demon Days/Plastic Beach. Some songs just don't click, but the highs of the album are so goddamn good I can overlook the few duds
My only worry is this your coming up is just gonna be a runthrough of the album, where I'm hoping for a more Plastic Beach approach where they hit the whole discorgeaphy with a focus on Humanz

I really hope they don't try to play through the entirety of it for an entire tour, pre-recorded features don't make for a good live show, and the relative lack of Damon on it means the vast majority of their live show would just be that.

Sex Murder Party. So fucking good.
I am addicted to this album. It's so good! So many good tracks.
I made a little instagram post with a compilation of samples from my favorite tracks.
I need to see these performed live.

A friend of mine attended the Friday show (Tom Hanks) which films on Thursday as well. He said Gorillaz did a mini concert with a few songs. I wonder where all of that footage went.
Gotta say, Momentz has grown on me quite a lot and it may actually be one of my favourites off the album. Felt it was rather simplistic and bare at first but I suppose that's part of the point - the way it steadily builds.
And of course, when the beat drops for the first time, it's the...
...MOMENTZ!

So if I've never heard anything from Danny Brown expect for his one verse on this album, what of his work should I track down?
EDIT: Oh, wait. I've heard him on RTJ3, too.

Melodically, censoring out Obama and Trump's names in "Let me out" was a fantastic decision.
The train noises make it far more interesting of a song.

His new album, Atrocity Exhibition is his best imo. XXX is really good too. Old isn't as good, but there are more party banger type songs on it.

Ascension and We Got The Power make me happy.
Ringing the great bell out there, above us, sounds pretty important.

Call me crazy but I feel she's my collar would be a better single/song to make the next video for. It's not as divisive as momentz and it has a damn fantastic beat.

I wonder why Momentz is so divisive.
It sounds really weird on the first listen. I was like WTF? now I dig its quirkiness​.
Like I said earlier, the song structurally and melodically has a lot more common with Feel Good Inc than virtually any other Gorillaz song released since then so it's great single material, arguably much better than Rhinestone Eyes.
My one question is whether it's "poppy" enough to market right after the album's release. Gorillaz's most popular tracks tend to be the ones that have a prominent feature to anchor it (Stylo, Clint Eastwood and Feel Good Inc. all fit this quota), so it's no surprise that they went with Saturnz Barz first. Usually the "Damon" focused tracks tend to be the very last ones to receive a single/music video release (Tomorrow Comes Today, El Mañana, On Melancholy Hill/Rhinestone Eyes).
I could see She's My Collar get a single/music video release eventually, but wouldn't be surprised if it's after whatever they go with next.
It's a really, really quirky song. It's not particularly driven by melody. The vocals are mostly a vehicle for the beat to drive.
In that essence it's pretty much like Sweepstakes.
I like Momentz, but I want to know why the 2nd occurrence of the word in the chorus isn't shouted like the rest. D:
After a few listens of the entire album, I'm pleased to find that there aren't any tracks that I feel compelled to skip. I sometimes start in different places if I want to hear something specific, but there's nothing I feel like always skipping. Felt similarly with Demon Days.

Humanz is the only Gorillaz album I'd actually listen to back to front. Dont like the last two tracks on Demon Days, ST doesn't feel cohesive to me, while i like every song on PB its not entirely cohesive either.

I think it's a great album but carnival is
Straight up
Poopy
I can't. I have to skip it everytime. This is the sweepstakes of this album. Should have put out of body instead of this

Carnival is what happens when they record a cat in heat and put it in an album

I feel the same. It's the only song that doesn't do it for me.
Seriously?! That's definitely just one person's opinion, I love Carnival! It's so dark and evocative. It's definitely not the Sweepstakes of this album because it's an intelligible song with a clear rhythm lol. Also not many people dislike Carnival so it's not like Sweepstakes in that regard either. The one I'm not too big on is Sex Murder Party, but I'm not about to compare it to Sweepstakes

Atrocity Exhibition was my intro to him and I absolutely loved it.
