A nice record sample featuring the usual hyper productive Albarn, with grandiose taste and an insatiable sense of melody. In short, Cracker Island does not excite but enriches those who want to listen to excellent music for about forty minutes, all in a row and on the same CD. Here is the key. And also the catch (so to speak)
he’s out Cracker Islandthe new album by Gorillaz. First of all, how is it? Good looking. But beware, there’s no need to be stunned, your eyes lifted to the sky like it’s come out Clinton Eastwoodwith Damian Albarn post blur separated from a project so centered also to be forward-looking towards a certain mixture of pop and rap hits, which prevailed at the time and are perhaps almost consumed today.
Cracker Island It’s a record that won’t upset the Gorillaz discography and won’t upset those hearing it for the first time. It doesn’t seem good to put it that way. And yet very good. Because it’s a nice mature album sample, with the usual hyper-productive babble, with grandiose taste and an insatiable sense of melody. In short, Cracker Island it doesn’t twist But adds plenty for those who want to listen to excellent music for about forty minutes, all in a row and on the same CD. Here is the key. And also the catch. Sometimes being too good can become a “problem” so to speak (Hey, I’m talking to you reading, and maybe you’re thinking, “It’s happening to me, too,” well, no, it’s not happening to you. It’s happening to a chosen few in history, and I assure you, you are not there. Unless you are the exact same Albarn and so I tell you, marry me, I accept bigamy).
If you can find an album with all the tracks in focus, beautiful tracks, products like Christ commands, tasteful hits, You risk losing a little bit of the specific gravity of the parts themselves. Damon is someone who has produced dozens of things, rarely bad ones, over the past few years. No, on Cracker Island there isn’t the shock of hearing those songs or records that will change your life for the first time. But there are ten pieces that risk being underrated even by today’s listening methods. And instead, it’s stuff you take and give away (one each, no doubt) to ten artists Randomly solved you solve a season. Also because, again, the record market thinks for individuals, but this isn’t the time or context to do the obvious traditionalism.
With Cracker Island, Damon Albarn hit the studio and had fun, releasing an album that is now expected from Gorillaz. Not a little, do not disappoint expectations and on the contrary, print out a smile that lasts forty minutes. The moon albarn is included Returnthe exquisitely trendy one with i Tame impalaand there’s also the reggaeton variable with this king of streaming that he is BudBunny. Chosen by those who know how to vote and valued to the fullest.
The Gorillaz put you on the couch and give you what you want (Sometimes you have to get up to move). I once wrote that once a certain threshold of successful songs is crossed, almost all songwriters or bands should “run out” and stop infecting the public with songs that are only made to propel the tour, songs that far inferior to their previous work: rowing a boat and touring the best without making it too long. Almost all songwriters but not Damon Albarn. Welcome back Gorillaz (Jamie Hewlett and Albarn).
