Who else /disappointed/ here with the singles released for Humanz?
>Saturnz Barz would be great if it was just Gorillaz without Popcaan >Andromeda is boring >We Got the Power generic pop shit >Ascension is just generic rap shit >Let Me Out isn't great >Album art is the worst to date
I'm a long time Gorillaz fan but I'm not feeling great about Humanz from what I've heard so far
I agree as far as the music is concerned but i kinda like the cover art.
Jaxon Clark
fuckin' hate these talentless hacks whomst need to hide under cartoon characters for their lack of talent
Jackson Campbell
>these, their Do we tell him ?
Justin Martinez
I've honestly been enjoying most of the singles, with the exceptions of We Got The Power and Hallelujah Money
Ryan Price
We Got the Power is fucking awful though... What a terrible choice to end the album with. Like you pretty much have to get the deluxe edition to avoid that track souring the mood
William Walker
I don't think the singles are plain bad. I just expect a bit more from gorilaz. This sounds like it was produced by a complete hack compared to previous albums.
Lucas Reyes
I like Let Me Out but I have a feeling I like it because the video they released of it with all of the pictures syncing to the beat is fun to watch.

How can one mention of trump before the song has even properly started trigger so many people theres even a version without the names ffs
Xavier Rogers
Maybe they shouldn't have built up this album as a dystopian theme in the name of a Trump victory.
Hunter Clark
The album art is shite.

Anyone download the app yet? Is this supposed to be the new version of the virtual website? Cause this is sad and disappointing.
Adrian Morgan
Seems to be, its irritating as fuck that it just redirects you to things in Safari and you have to tab back to the app and there's only 5 rooms. The animated Gorillaz universe is one of the best parts about the band so them skimping on the site is definitely worrisome
Adam Gray
I also can't seem to get anyone but 2D to show up in his room. Is it just, luck of the draw?
Kevin Torres
Can anyone explain to me why Murdoc saying "The bath!" in the Saturnz Barz video became a fucking meme? Am I missing something or is it just funny because "hehe he's british XD"
Robert Jenkins
Its a VR kinda thing so try turning around/looking up and down. Noodle's room is Buddha, Rus is a ski mask, Murdoc's is a bull skull, and the living room is a TV
Cooper Collins
are you too daft to realise damon is gorillaz? A story about something he said to one collaborator is not setting it up as trump dystopian album fucking mental gymnastics
Sebastian Price
I think the virtual website will also be online.

>that pure fucking audio orgasm that Stylo and Empire Ants gives
Fuck man its gonna be hard for Humanz to top Demon Days AND Plastic Beach with how many fucking amazing songs both albums have.
Angel Anderson
Well, I felt the same *at first*
When I first heard the tracks, I only really liked We Got the Power and the ridiculous hook of Ascension. Saturnz Barz was okay but not great, same with Andromeda.
*So thankfully*, every track has grown on me, now. (besides Hallelujah Money, my fucking god) I think it took the most recent Pusha T one for it to click into shape, as well as going back and listening to Blur and then the Gorillaz albums. >Even Andromeda It got me thinking about how a Daft Punk collab could have worked so well there...but instead we have Dram doing nothing
It's gonna be a fun-as-fuck album to listen to, especially if you just pick your favorite half of them or whatever
>also I'm a sucker for the "humans are turning into something else; something new" bait Damon described it as
Liam Lee
>I'm a long time Gorillaz fan >I don't like the new songs
Yeah, that's what people said when Plastic Beach was released. And guess what, now people love it.
Jordan Hall
How the fuck could someone who listens to Gorillaz not liked Plastic Beach when it came out? It may be less consistent, but it has something for everyone on it and the best songs shine brighter than the best songs on Demon Days
If you want to go in album order with those, it's 4, 1, 2, 5, 3
Brandon Green
gorillaz fans are fucking retarded ive seen hate for the rap in songs like ascension and let me out did people even listen to their debut at all or even demon days
Cooper Perry
I don't know who you're talking about, because I assumed everyone knew of the gnarly shit like "Double Bass", easily one of the greatest simple-and-fantastic beats of all time
William Sullivan
Its not that it IS rap, its that its shitty rap, in addition to being the basis of the song.
Compare Ascension to any song featuring Del by Gorillaz. Del rapped over what was a Gorillaz instrumental while whoever the fuck is rapping over Ascension just sounds like a typical Top 40 beat/instrumental and a very run of the mill rapper when 2D's vocals aren't present.
Bentley Hernandez
>doesn't like guest stars >doesn't like pop >doesn't like rap >thinks he's a gorillaz fan
Ryder Ortiz
It's less dark and more electronic than DD. When it first came out people were super thrown by it and many hated it. Now everyone champions it. In 5 years everyone will love Humanz just as much.
Cooper Bailey
>guest stars are always good >pop was the same more than 10 years ago >rap was the same more than 10 years ago
Yeah go fuck yourself
Owen Wright
I fucking love Gorillaz but the fans are borderline intolerable.
>release a new album >album has a new sound >WTF THIS ISN'T MUH GORILLAZ >5 years go by >K ACTUALLY THAT ALBUM WAS A MASTERPIECE >release a new new album >new new album has a new new sound >WTF THIS ISN'T MUH GORILLAZ
Every. Fucking. Time.
Listen to the whole album when it comes out. If you really enjoyed how unique the previous albums were, you'll come to appreciate that this new one is just as unique.
Jacob Taylor
possibly my Methanotroph
Camden Jones
But they released the album's singles ahead of when the full album released and their shit, I don't doubt that there will be some songs I enjoy but if it doesn't have the muscial highs that Plastic Beach had or the general consistence of quality that Demon Days had then I don't think its gonna be any good
Dominic Long
Sounds just like your average Gorillaz fan
Jayden Miller
this
Michael Hall
>uniqueness automatically means good If the rest of Humanz is like the singles released, the whole album will be garbage.
Grayson Mitchell
>unique >from generic rap and pop tracks
Saturnz Barz and Let Me Out are the only songs of the few already released that have a unique sound and even those aren't of the best possible quality
Easton Carter
I don't think the songs are bad at all, but they are not on par with the any of the former albums. I know that Gorillaz is all about guest artists but I wish we could get a little more Albarn in some of these.
Evan Carter
Look for the leaked song Busted and Blue that will be on the album I'm sure that is the kinda song you're looking for.
Are you fuckin retarded mate? Damon is the one in control of the album, of course what he says determines what the album will be like. Half the songs released so far have been overtly political. Two of them mention Obama by name, and wanting him back. But go back to choking on Albarn's SJW cock you enormous faggot.
Dominic Sullivan
At least the chiptune cover of Saturnz Barz is decent
Justin Scott
It's a legitimate shame, Damon's incredibly talented when politics aren't involved ...atleast not /this/ involved
Dominic Murphy
This x10000 I remember people HATING Plastic Beach when it came out. Now everyone's complaining that the new album doesn't sound like it.
I'm not saying that unique necessarily means good - just that it's weird to hate on an album because the sound is different from the band's previous shit. Give yourself some time to get into it.
Gabriel Green
Am I the only one who doesn't think the new tracks sound all that different? I like them and am having an easy time getting into them. Gorillaz has always been synths, drum machines, rap, etc. The albums all have different producers, sure, but these new tracks are definitely Gorillaz.
Brandon Ross
Wow user those are some amazing arguments two mentions, one of which is made by fucking vince staples Why do people want this album to be political so badly? Some comments he made clickbaited to hell and every Sup Forums drone starts having a seizure because o--o-only ccc-cc-c-c-c-c-c-cucks would say anythig about trump Oh yeah damon has also said that the album "isnt about trump at all" have a splendid time with your delusions mate
Adrian Jackson
>2 out of 6 songs released so far isn't much Were you brain dead in maths class? Because 1/3 is a pretty significant portion. >"They say the Devil's at work and Trump is calling favors" >"B-b-but it i-isnt about Trump at all s-stupid poltards!!1!"
Jayden Fisher
You kinda blew your cover with the farage pic there eh? Been enjoying let me out without names version as i dont care much for political lyrics But still one half assed mention + some struggle lyrics froma struggle rapper is really not much no one gives a shit about this mental gymnastic shitposting mate
Ryan Ramirez
Exactly on the money, man. Why don't we focus on what's important and masturbate to Noodle
Joseph Gray
Never got the Gorillaz hype.
Xavier Perry
>Song filled with allusions to Trump released on the eve of Trump's inauguration >Albarn has literally said Trump winning is going to cause the end of the world and the new album is about this But it's all my delusion, right? Also >Because putting a little beep over one word completely removes all political connotations
Nathan King
Still hung up over that pusha interview huh No one gives a shit about hallelujah money man >Because putting a little beep over one word completely removes all political connotations didnt say that did i, makes the current events part of the song go away pretty effectively though You can keep up your gymnastics if you want but that doesnt make it any less whiny and irrelevant
