For me this album was just "okay". There is nothing inherently bad about the album at all, I even really like some songs on here, especially the closer, but it is just nothing exciting. It takes a lot of influences from different places which there is nothing wrong with, but that makes it sounds like other things I have heard before in my life. There was nothing there that was so outstanding that makes it really memorable or different from other albums in the genre.
I find this album very good and super atmospheric, but something does not really click for me with the overall sound of the album. Maybe it is just a genre I do not enjoy listening too all that much. Teardrop and Group Four were huge highlights of the album for me.
I find it a bit disappointing. I expected just a bit more from their first single from what is supposed to be a new era. Maybe it will grow on me within a full-length project but for now this is just middle-through the road. Nothing wrong with it, but it sparks nothing in me.
This is what Gorillaz was always supposed to be about: experimental, sometimes a bit weird but mostly, just really fun.
