To sum up my review/reviews for this album, it is music with a lot more personality than I originally gave it credit for. Throughout the extended version, I was intrigued and satisfied, however the extended view between villages is perfection
Introspective, heartwarming, and nostalgic. Has a great balance between hits and more emotional tracks, Stick Season is an emotional journey which is all too easy to come back to. The View Between Villages is awesome
Short, sweet, and definitely full of life. A massive improvement over Busyhead however, still not to the standard I expect from Noah's music that I have heard. Godlight and Fear Of Water had me captivated though. A solid album which I enjoyed
Extremely bleak and spacey, this album is one which didn't quite hit for me the way it did for others. It's themes and sound, while interesting, did not evoke emotional response in me the way I thought it would. That being said, this album was extremely creative, maybe held back a little by it's length for me. I would love to revisit this and have my mind changed, but for now, I appreciate it for what it is.
Incredible EP. I wish it were longer. So heartfelt and personal, while feeling like a cold day on the ocean. From his previous album to this EP the jump was massive; he improved both his song structure and especially his choruses were far better written, filled with personality and songmanship. I am very impressed
A little dry and sterile while still being a sweet and introspective album. Some good moments but no songs stood out to me
A really fun and easy listen with an introspective feel. Really makes you feel like you're sitting watching a lovely sunset. Some very high highs here. A feeling of comfort throughout
A deeply spiritual experience, diving into discussions about death, the afterlife, and our place in the world. This album somehow manages to feel extremely personal, as I'm sure it is to Damon, even while having so many features and having such a wide range of influence. Gorrilaz most ambitious album and 100% a must listen. Feels like an hour long meditation, guiding you through the mountains of India. The music video for Moon Cave and others was incredible too, a beautiful little movie
A dark, gloomy, and scarily Irish journey. Skinty Fia is both catchy and intense. So much creativity and not much can ever sound like this
This is one which I have been wanting to hear for ages. And it was well worth the wait. Both fun and groovy, with a genius combination of genres, ideas, and rhythms. Such a wild combination of styles made into something extremely cohesive, truly best being enjoyed as a full listen. An album that rewards a little bit of patience with an unbelievable amount of fun
A fun, unserious project. Doesn't deliver everything I'd hoped. Can't complain though, hopefully Denzel comes back with something strong
A cool collection of songs which actually don't feel too different thematically despite the large range of artists. A great album for a great cause
James' best songwriting and somehow also his best production. A beautiful collection of songs held together by his unique voice and his electronic instrumentals, this album is fun to listen to while also being touching in so many ways. Easily his best and most consistent for me. My AOTY so far
An album which shows off Jack's charisma and ability to make a smooth song, but falls flat at every step of the way. Just okay
Underwhelming but also not, was interesting enough to hear his roots but not enough to ever come back
Hits the perfect spot between intimicy and throwing you into the void. A beautifully written and structured album, and I cannot wait to watch the video/live version. Ambition at its finest
