The Mountain

There are still some tears in my eyes as I’m writing this review FRESH after listening to the album. I’m kind of astonished by it, to be honest.

Such a coherent experience with the story, but also the soundscape. The lyricism and songwriting is something worthy of making history, frankly.

For Gorillaz to have this kind of a comeback after what is widely considered to be a big fall off, is something so impressive it’s hard to fathom what it must feel like for Damon.

It was such an emotional journey where I felt I could relate to the music, and understand the significance for Gorillaz. That’s something rare.

On a more personal side of things, I’ve struggled with self harm and suicide for some time after some tricky things came up in my life. I seriously thought to hold on sometimes because I wanted to hear this album. It means so much to me

My favourites are:
Damascus
The Moon Cave
Delirium
Orange County
The Empty Dream Machine

As I said previously, this has potential to make history, and to change lives. Gorillaz, thank you.
