Gorillaz is Sup Forums related, right?
Why don't you quote it you little bitch?
Why are you so averse to reading it?
Besides, saves time for people asking about sauce.

Yeah this wasnt what I wanted.
It was fine. It was basically the intro song for the album. Very much akin to Fire coming out of a Monkey's Head and the Plastic Beach intro
It shocks you that anti-Trump things are coming?
He is the single least popular president on record, going in with a popularity lower than Bush 2's coming out.
The next decade of media across all mediums is going to be mocking him.
The "song" is getting almost universally panned, as it should, because the flow is awful, the lyrics are jumbled, and it's nowhere near up to par.
Consider this an extended teaser.
No where near as good as those boyo. The intro to plastic beach soothes me to this day. This song sucks
Least popular by the MSM you mean. The dude was voted into office and it wasnt even close may I remind you.
But yeah, I expect a lot of whinging for the next four years. I also expect more subtly and wit from Gorrilaz
Its just spoken word.
Most spoken word sucks on music albums.
I never said it was good or as good you double nigger. It's the stylistic choice of the song that's similar to the others that I mentioned. Each album has their weird wonky song and hopefully this is the latest album's weird thing.
Not him, but I think it's more like people are tired of hearing it and having it infect every facet of pop culture that they just want to enjoy. Yeah Gorillaz has always been political and all that, but it helps if the song is good and not just some slam poetry set to a meh beat.
Least popular by every poll. Including that of Fox.
No poll has shown him as being above any other president.
>The next decade of media across all mediums is going to be mocking him.
Yup, and at the end of those 10 years people have realized Trump's two terms were the best thing to happen to America in half a century and the kids growing up now will be referred to as the "Trump generation" who will look back on this pedantic garbage much like how the 90s looked back on hippies and retched.
It's not bad, just a poor single spliced with some "fuck Trump" lines in to cash in on the inauguration outrage while the trail's still fresh.
Honestly it's not that bad after a few listens, just really out there. 2-D had the best section.
How can 2D stay such a girly little twink at 38?
Its the Bush years again.
Every comedy, a huge amount of music, most headlines, a huge amount of vidya, and most comics will be having a take on it.
Its like none of you remember the early 2000's.
I don't think the 90's have the right to look down on anything negatively. They had pretty shit taste.
The song is pretty hamfisted even by previous examples from other albums and it's slightly janky due to weird structure but jesus stay on topic here
What did you guys think of the video? Was 2-D's appearance a stylistic and planned choice or a lazy cop out why they literally scrapped some construction paper together due to time constraints?
>much like how the 90s looked back on hippies and retched.
That's not a thing that happened.
The 90's were a rejection of Reaganomics, glam rock and hair metal, and the idea of America having a geopolitical rival.
Every decade other than the 2010's looked back on the decade immediately before it and retched, while looking fondly at the grandparent decade with nostalgia.
>It was basically the intro song for the album.
It's not a part of the album.
>avclub.com
I don't get why people are loosing their shit over something inconsequential as this.
None of us remember the early 2000's because they were shit for the exact reasons you just posted.
>It's going to infect every Gorillaz thread
>Months waiting for something, anything, and this is what happens
I'm just tired of this shit.
Dirty Harry was pretty blatant but it was also a way catchier song. Also it helps people seemed to think that somehow because the guest rapper did the obvious lines it removed it from the band....or y'know it was 15 years ago and now they don't care.
Well I wasnt asking WHY they made it this way you triple nigger. I was just saying it sucks
Not least popular by the voting poll :^)
Now we get 4-8 more years of that.
The puppets were planned a long time ago. Some shitty puppeteering company posted on Instagram almost a year ago that they got hired to work for Gorillaz to help out with music videos, plus, Jamie already stated in an interview that they're planning on exploring alternatives to animation in this phase, probably to avoid the absolute disaster that the previous phase was when it came to producing their music videos.
You don't remember the early 2000's because you weren't much older than 4 when they were happening.
>Thread could have died but someone had to go and bitch about anti-Trump shit again.
Actually he's pretty close.
Very few people voted in this election compared to others. Not record lows, but well below the average. That makes his 3 million popular vote loss even worse.
>Gorillaz is Sup Forums related, right?
It might as well be considering this is like the fifth thread we've had about this song
Hated it at first, but after a couple of listens I kinda like it.
Beat/music is still pretty weak, but since it's not part of the new album I'm pretty cool with it.
>loses popular vote by several million votes
;)
That's pretty interesting. I wonder what they were considering in addition to puppets. I'd like to see more animated music videos but if they going to experiment like they did with this video I hope that they can pull off whatever they have planned with a little more focus on the animation and less on the live action aspects
>What did you guys think of the video?
I don't know, didn't watch the whole thing. I switched tabs about twenty seconds in to look at pictures of chubby girl buttholes on Sup Forums.
But the song was pretty bad, so I'm going to take a wild guess and say that watching the whole video doesn't improve the experience any.
>Acting as if the popular vote means shit
::^)))
>only because california exists and illegals are bussed around to different voting centers to vote multiple times for the same candidate
It does when the conversation is about popularity. Which if you go back a few posts you see that it is.

So the Gorillaz don't like Trump. Does it really fucking matter? If you don't allow artists to be political, what's the fucking point?
Don't give them shit for being political, give them shit for having a bad message/arguments. And seeing as this song attacks Trump for his rethoric more than his person, it's at least better than most anti-trump songs.
God, I'm so fucking sick of Trump, and everyone who is whining about Trump.
Shame you can't prove that happened 3 million times and there was literally 0 voter fraud on the Trump side either, huh?
The dwindling Trump supporters are just Tumblrinas on the other side of the aisle.
We can TOTALLY prove it! There can't possibly have been any illegals voting for Trump, because Russia HATES Mexicans and would never agree to rig the election for Trump if Mexicans were involved.
Just remind them Trump's "polling police" reported nothing wrong and Trump himself was not there.
There's no response to that.
>Mediocre song
>Little to no animation
>Not a comic
>Not a cartoon
>Basically an ineffectual political message
>Gets discussed here daily because of fucking Trump/anti-Trump politics
The least thing I care about is something being anti-trump. but if it isn't good or funny to listen to, then its boring anti trump shit. this song was awful, and i couldn't even tell it was anti trump, just anti kkk n EVIL WHITE RACISM at one point. i literally couldn't understand a single fucking word the dude said, it was really the most annoying thing about this song.
also im sick of this fucking gospel gorillaz shit. it was cool on demon days, but fuck off
>Someone doesn't like Donald Trump
How dare they?
>donald trump isn't popular
>prove it nigger
>low approval rating double nigger
>nu uh triple nigger
>yeah look even fox says it quadruple nigger no takebacks
>yeah well trump won the popular vote quintuple nigger no takebacks for realsies
>no no trump lost the popular vote by 2 million votes super ultimate nigger no takebacks forever and ever times a million
>lel trump won anyways so it doesn't matter that he's not popular
Olympics tier goalpost moving here.
Did you forget Demon Days was 1/4 a middle finger to Bush?
Don't mind me just being the real reason Gorillaz got as much steam as it did.
I'm going to assume that they're going to try and push the band and further develop their personalities outside of the music through the use of interviews and social media. They did have that series of short interviews that each member did for some random website a while back, and Noodle is very active on Instagram, so it wouldn't be too far-fetched to think that that's going to be their alternative for portraying the band.
Anyway that sounded terrible and that's coming from someone who enjoys PB just as much as DD and Gorillaz.
What's going on with Russel these days? It seemed like he lost most of his character after Del left until he became a kaijuu for....reasons?
It does because really the whole Anti-Trump wagon is just boring shrieking I've been hearing for the past 2 years. I just hope it doesn't drag down the rest of the album.
And?
...what other songs besides Dirty Harry was about Bush?
Plus, Demon Days was fucking incredible. The songs were good, it didn't matter if any of it was hamfisted politika. Hallelujah Money is just plain a bad song, and regardless of what it's trying to say that's unforgivable.
>wasn't even close
>46th lowest difference in electoral votes
Why must you lie?
yeah well get used to it because it's going to be a long 4 years.
So this album will be the same for Trump.
Its a given. So that part is moot, like mentioning a movie being a sequel as a reason people dislike it. Its an obvious point, not really deserving mention.
Fuck. I've always hated social media. It's like the burner phone of the hardware world.
People use it for like a year and then it gets saturated with normies and then advertising algorithms.
I wish I could just view all Gorillaz content in one place but I guess that's expecting too much.
They did have those weird Instagram stories for each of the characters detailing their travels in between this phase and the last.
Just lookup "The Book of Russell" or Noodle or whichever character
Something about Radioactivity in the water and then returning to normal size after going on a North Korean diet

El Manana was emotional fatigue from the politics and culture of the Bush years, Fire Coming Out Of A Monkeys Head was a direct take that to Bush and Cheney, Kids With Guns was a general voicing of liberal melancholy.
I don't give a single fuck about politics. The thing that offends me about this song is that it's absolute trash. I wouldn't even tolerate it on a b-sides album. This should not have been the first thing they put out in six years.

>8 years
No thank you..
Doubtful.
The GOP won't take him a second time. He'll be running third party or nothing.
Again, spoken word intro. Not a real song.
Also, Noodle driving a racecar was the first thing in six years.
...has it really been six years since Plastic Beach? Doesn't feel that long.
That's gonna be a hard sell considering his base hates her.
>I get to enjoy this delusion for 8 years
This is truly the greatest gift I could ask for.
I had to dig out my copy of Rise of the Ogre to check what Murdoc said Russel did after the events of El MaƱana. Apparently he went back to stitching together his taxidermy army of undead animals and started practicing his drums. Also, the reason he turns into a Kaiju is because he swallowed a lot of radioactive garbage while swimming to Plastic Beach. At the end of the big Battle at Plastic Beach he ends up on the shore of North Korea were he is displayed as an exhibit for the whole country to see. Eventually, his body shrinks back to normal due to starvation and they let him go home. Check out the Book of Russell, it should be on their Twitter and Instagram.
This holds truth.
Then why release such filler?
I guess I can kind of see Fire Coming out of a Monkey's Head, but I fail to see how Kids With Guns can be attributed to Bush specifically, and I cannot even begin to fathom how you got that connection with El Manana.
What delusion?
The president has no form of control whatsoever on the primary process, and the Republican leadership has a strong dislike for him. Nobody pays any attention to those rules until its too late to change them, so it'll sneak through. Parties regulate their own primaries, there's almost no control outside of it. Hell, in states like Washington there's literally no reason to vote in a primary because the party decides who wins that state before votes are even counted.
Just watch. They'll give themselves a veto. Democrats most likely too.
>Then why release such filler?
Because its free.
A real song would be released as a single, because people would want to buy it.
But being a sequel isn't why people don't like it.
Not doing anything as good as the predecessor so far is. It's like a sequel hit some beats from the previous film but for the most part it's not the same quality at all.
Comparing Dirty Harry to this, it's a way catchier song. Though in defense of this song, it's hopefully a protosong. Whatever it evolves into could be far better. Compare Dare to People.
He's the fucking incumbent. Can they even run anyone else?
Will Noodle make Gorillaz great again?
Yeah, it's sad that we'll realistically never get another fully interactive website like the old Kong Studios or Plastic Beach. It would most likely end up being too damn expensive to create and maintain.
So again, why release such filler? You WANT to sell a single, and releasing garbage for free doesn't hype people up for the shit you want them to drop dosh on.
You'd be hard pressed to find one who won't be running against him.
Because they wanted to make a political statement.
This piece wasn't advertising.
You really believe this, don't you? That's funny.
Couldn't they have made a political statement with a good song, though? The two things don't have to be mutually exclusive.
They can do whatever they want, political parties aren't held to any kind of rules except the ones they impose on themselves
Regan ran against Ford, there is a precedent for it.
I see, so is a nice song with media coverage because is anti Trump...
yeah! it's the new "cool stuff"
Macho macho man yeah I've got to be a macho man.
It's actually not that bad. It reminds me of 911, Hong Kong and Mr Softy's Balloon Race.
I've said it before, I'll say it again
the Gorillaz are not an american band
I can't really get into this song, I hope the album is better.
This cuts deep. It's really offputting in an effective way
Everyone is American when it comes to current events in America.
They should've take a page from Lorne Green.

Hallelujah Money is shit.
Something weird about seeing the younger characters in the newer art style
its actually really fucking funny and the spongebob scream at the end confirms its intended to be ironic.
not a bad song.
Oh no are we not allowed to like Gorillaz now because they're anti-trump like basically everyone else who isn't as stupid manchild
>Implying Anti-Trumptards aren't the biggest manchildren of this whole election cycle
people dont like gorillaz cause the song kind of sucks
>So again, why release such filler? You WANT to sell a single

So young
They were never good.
