    Somewhere Blind is creaming his little boy panties. I might give it a listen as it's free, but never been a big fan of this stuff...

    I kinda skipped around it a bit. Not my thing, really. Some of the music was okay, but it's immediately ruined when they open their mouths for the vocals.

    its roughly an hour long album, and at the 30 minute mark it really gets better. very rough opening i think.

    but thats why itunes has shuffle.

    after giving the whole album a listen its left me a little cold to it. its not bad, its just so different to demon days and gorillaz, which are two of my favourite albums of the last decade.
    i dont know, it might grow on me, but id saylike 60-70% of the songs were just kind of bland noise used for background music in shows on t4, but then theres some of the more eclectic stuff that is really good.

    I'll still buy it, but from a first listen im really indifferent to it. which is a shame since i still listen to demon days every other day whilst im at my desk.

    I'm with Bassman on this. Never been a big Gorillaz fan...that is a bit of an over statement actually.

    I believe there's still a link from their website to HPotD
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

    Sorry to disappoint, but their site is completely different now... for the better, but more... isolated into itself.
    As for the album... I'll listen to it when I buy it. It's like... knowing exactly what's in your Christmas presents, innit? Not much fun...

    Yep, well... my pants are... dry.... but bouncing and hyperventilating.
    I'll be sure to give you guys a full, detailed review when I listen to it twelve consecutive times on March 9th. I know you don't care, but... it's important to me, so bear with, okay?

    It's "Snoop Dogg", clang. Let's not get carried away...
    Also a possible reference to Destroying America, if you remember Tony Hawk's pizza delivery song...
    Anyhow, this looks to be their best album yet, and damned if I won't think so despite however it turns out to be when I actually listen to it in full! Besides, Gorillaz are only 40% about the music, anyway. What I'm really looking forward to is more art by Jamie and more videos. If Stylo is any indication... they're gonna kick the living ass out of everything!
    Aaaaannd, I'm gonna say it again. Cybot... Noodle.
