Damon Albarn has managed to stay closely connected to me and my life throughout my whole journey of listening to his music, that journey that started almost 10 years ago and still continuing till one of us dies first.

Utterly boring, repetitive, forgettable, lackluster, dull, monotonous, stale.
Individual tracks on their own are ok, but the album as a whole musical experience left me unsatisfied, the album is just a collection of mediocre tunes and above average vocal performance.
Background music at best!
Not my type of music, sorry :3
