This is a much more experimental Gorillaz album. It's not difficult to hear their old sound buried under but the boys play with new production elements and sonic dimensions. The one thing this record really lacks is a radio-friendly single. There is no "Clint Eastwood" or "Feel Good, Inc." to be found here. When I first heard "Stylo" on the radio -- the new single -- I was disappointed. The song is very layered and takes a few listens to fully appreciate. Still, it's not something that will be in heavy rotation. This album may end up being critically lauded but it will never match the critical and commercial success of their previous efforts.
Must hear: Superfast Jellyfish
