Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez (Deluxe)

Gorillaz slaps. 10/10

So this album is fine but when I went to see the show in the big screen it was great there was not a bad song they were all better live

Ppl are bugging saying that this album is trash or didnt live up to expectations. Do u even listen to the lyrics?! Pac-Man and Momentary Bliss hit home for me, the lyrics are too real! The rest of the album is just as good if u keep an open mind. Definitely keep it up Gorillaz! Love y’all

Love every track. Sensational sound, wonderful guests. I think this is his/their best.

Feels like I'm listening to a compilation of random pop songs that have little to no traditional Gorillaz elements or quirks. The Lost Chord and Désolé are the only songs I kind of enjoyed.

Okay. I love this band with all of my heart. There music has comforted me when I thought I would give up. No hate but I think the problem with their newer music is that they rely a bit too much on other artist, not so much being independent like the old albums (example: demon days) they still have amazing music on this album (I’m looking at you, Aries. Love you 😍) That’s just my thoughts. No hate on Gorillaz because I probably wouldn’t be able to cope with some of my problems without music from them and others.

PLEASE release a CLEANZ version, Gorillaz!

The new album by Gorillaz is sure a treat… at certain points. At others it is mediocre at best. But don’t get me wrong it isn’t bad. There are amazing songs on here and the collaborations are perfect. There are some deadbeats such as momentary bliss and opium which is pretty disappointing to me considering the fact that I rest assured that nothing could go wrong with an EARTHGANG feature. I see a lot of talk about the Elton John feature on the pink phantom but the best song and best feature is definitely MLS ft JPEGMAFIA where his autotuned vocals remind me of all my hero are cornballs. But the happy jumpy synth in the instrumental gets old after awhile. Speaking about vocal effects, there are some out in songs like the valley of the pagan. Some other songs I loved were desole in part to the Bossa nova jazz beat on it and because of the unique feature of Fatoumata Diawara. There are some bad collabs on here especially on chalk tablet towers. The cover art itself is pretty uninspired compared to previous ones like Gorillaz, plastic beach, demon days, and even Humanz. As for the title, the whole point of this album is NOT to be an album but a compilation of songs, hence the name song machine. The album finishes off strong with How Far? Ft septa and Tony Allen with a non intrusive beat that perfectly fits the uk drill flow of skepta. Over all this album is really good. Minus a few the features are perfect and fit in well with the alternative sound and lyrics of gorillaz. Honestly I have little to no complaints. Gorillaz is doing what they do best. Making good music. LIKED SONGS: 12 OUT OF 17 SCORE: STRONG 7 TO LIGHT 8
