The Good Takes, The Bad Takes and The Queen Takes

[Heston]

Obligatory KP defense of GBQ

I can’t even attack them anymore because I can’t remember how any song sounds.

I think like the Gorillaz, but sad, and without any hooks?

That's my vague recollection. It's been years since I listened because there was nothing there that suggested I should keep working on it.

I know where I'm staying for my Albarn/Simonon collaboration needs.

I listened to that album a lot when it came out, but haven't listened to it much since. I forgot how great it is.

Gorillaz is a project and brief that brings the best out of Albarn and sidelines his least interesting traits. A lot of artists get to his stage of career and don't know where on the canvas they should start scribbling, and that leads to work which isn't as exciting as what they released when they were young. By aiming to do MTV pop music but better, he can do so much more lively work than his contemporaries. The Gallagher brothers are pale copies of their 90s selves and are irrelevant to all but the least discerning authentocrats. The dull shit he did with tGtBatQ shows that it doesn't come natural to Albarn - he's just stumbled across the right project.

A) Hooks are overrated
B) The album is catchy to me

Hello,

Gorillaz is okay - decent music, decent quality...but is it exciting? I want exciting music.

It's exciting to people who like groove-based tunes.

[Wolter]

Gonna be the weird outlier here and say I also could not care about Gorillaz either, and I often enjoy grooves.

I despise you, but I agree with you.

Damon Albarn is no hill to die on.

[Flex]

I enjoyed the first Gorillaz album a fair amount, and there's some decent stuff on the rest, but if you add up all the best that Albarn has put out there into the world the sum of it is still pretty well short of greatness.

Now Pig Champion, THERE was a great musician.

Eh, I just know I'm not going to convince anyone in here.

Sometimes you just have to concede that the group knows more than you. It's rough, I know, but that's how true growth occurs.

It's you and me against the world, old friend.
