This album is both grating and really, really boring. It's 49 minutes of Morrissey yapping about nothing. It's exhausting to sit through. Feels like he's trying to replicate his old work but failing miserably, probably because he actually lacks the passion or drive to make any of these songs sound good.
The best Gorillaz album since Plastic Beach. A really captivating listen. Every track is beautiful.
Tracks are way too long; the more the album goes on, the more it drags. There's a handful of great, standout tracks, and it's probably his most consistent album... but a lot of these songs are really forgettable. They're decent, and I do like how introspective J. Cole gets here, but I see no reason to return to this album.
