I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

like, I get that Hewlett and McCracken are friends but this is a little more substantial than "the Gorillaz cameo'd in a newspaper clipping and a Foster's character dressed up as Tank Girl"

:shrug:

It's extra weird in that Cartoon Network is currently airing a new PPG series where the character appears, which I would have thought would cause copyright issues.

Maybe McCracken has primary control of the characters somehow and has decided he wants to play around with his IPs like this.

Clearly the answer is that there's a Gorillaz TV show coming out to Adult Swim soon.

The combined greatness of Hollywood, Magic City, Tranz, Idaho and Humility alone raises this unreleased album above Humanz for me.

Yeah, having listened to all of the posted live tracks... this album might not have meh songs.

I will say that a lot of Humanz comes out a lot better live, so I'm interested in seeing how the studio versions of these turn out.

So far so good though. Feels like Humanz tried to do too much too fast with messy results, so they're trying to scale it back now. I'm amazed that they're turned this around so quickly though.

also probably old hat to most posters but I missed this single from last year (I don't think it's even on the Deluxe release of Humanz?) which is kinda in the same wheelhouse as today's songs

Wikipedia says this isn't on the super deluxe vinyl, but it is a single MP3 you can buy from Amazon. (So I just did that.)

I think he's getting a solo vocal credit on every single track on the album except for the one with Snoop Dogg and Jamie Principle.

so probably going to be very much more in line with Demon Days or The Fall

yeah Jamie wrote that one up post Humanz release and I kind of wish it ended up on the album, because I think it would have tempered a lot of people's criticisms over the # of guest artists on the album

Just listened to the first two songs and already this sounds better than Humanz, here's to hoping the now now is better than the last album...okay I say better, it will be more tolerable than that and the fall.

It's safe to say Humanz rightfully belongs in the trash.

Theory: 2D is way too happy that Murdoc is locked up in jail and not tormenting him anymore, and hasn't been working at all. Russel knocked some sense into him to get everyone back in the studio.

tbh I was going off of memory, and the only immediate one in my head were Feel Good Inc, Dare, Dirty Harry, and the choir at the end.

Even then only think Dare and Dirty Harry were the only one where Damon wasn't credited as lead vocalist or even had vocals, which is m different from Plastic Beach and Humanz

I remember from the Gorillaz art book that came out years ago (and a quick refresh on the wiki) that 2D had his eye damaged by Murdoc on two separate occasions. They were white before, but then Murdoc damaged them, turning them black. It's also how he took the name 2D. So probably something like helping him remember who he was.

You can talk to Murdoc in jail if you have an Amazon Echo.

Seems kinda neat? I didn't do much with it yet.

I question how is Murdoc allowed to speak to people via an Echo or texting on Facebook messenger while he's still doing time. But then again this is hewlett's world we're talking about.

it's implied that 2D was possessed (they've done this before, see: Russel) as white-eyed 2D is a great skater and does a lot of really nice moves while on blades, but as soon as Russel trips him and he "wakes up" he immediately stumbles and seems confused.

Yeah, good poo poo. It's an amazingly chill album overall. I wouldn't mind it being two or three tracks longer but it's really enjoyable as-is. I think Magic City is the one I'm most looking forward to hearing the studio version of - it should definitely be the second proper single.

I wish One Percent was a little longer. It feels like it needs another minute or two to breathe.
