Barbara Lewis haha get laid virgin

I totally agree, but that's why I liked the album so much tbh. Like I agree with him almost completely but I'd give it like an 8.

Wow what an informative and insightful comment, definitely deserves to be at the top

Best album of 2018, much though?

Josh Leitzel I know it’s so great

Eh, its my least fav track on the now now, but I still like it.

I'm hooked on that song. I even went and learned how to play some of the piano parts, I like it that much.

It’s honestly really boring to me, the track has no noticeable progression or intrigue it’s just bland

Definitely a highlight for me and the best of the ballads on the album.

i really liked it too and nice pfp

NoiseFeedMusic yea honestly after listening to the album i feel as though this is a good way to put it, but it is definitely a selling point

that's a quotable right there

maadcity Hell, a Gorillaz Effect might happen and he might raise the rating up like with Plastic Beach.

I agree with that. But, unpopularly, this is my favourite album, even more than Demon Days. I know DD was a game changer for music and also with its political stances, but some songs, imo, are too dead and repetitive. I can’t get through the intro of All Alone, White Light is my least favourite for obvious repetitive and even Kids With Guns is a bit too dead with 2-D’s sleepy vocals, even on the chorus. The Now Now in comparison is consistently good. None of the songs are as experimental or as political as its predecessors, but that’s what makes me like it so much. They all are extremely pleasant to listen to, except Hollywood because of how Humanz-esque it was. Repetitive chorus with plain 2-D vocals, and an annoying trap beat plus being the longest track on the record just doesn’t suit me. I do like hip hop, all the first and third LP’s hip hop songs, but it just doesn’t feel right for me. But other than that, the rest is amazing. I love a lot of the songs, but Souk Eye is definitely my favourite. Haven’t had a great ending to an LP since, well, their self-titled debut. Demon Days drilling ‘to the sun’ into my skull makes that one hard to listen to, but everything for this track feels perfect to me. EDIT: I give this record a strong 9/10

"And now..." you mean now? Like now now Hell yeah I nabbed this from another comment

I agree, I reckon this is their best album

ThatGuy 1805 This album is so good, I like it side-to-side to plastic beach and DD. I also like all the other albums none are bad.

Manuel Alejandro wtf lol

A 6/10 doesn't mean it is a bad album

Sinoops 6 can be taken as "above average"

Teeth in the game gives great albums 7-8 all the time ive never seen a review get a 9 or 10. 6 to him is he likes it but its not the artist best.

The critic is jealous of Damon Albarn's genius and is complaining that he is not geniusy enough for him...

@@DWHarper62 no, he just didn’t think the music was as great as some of Gorillaz’ other stuff, but he still liked it. It has nothing to do with jealousy.

Thank you, the three four to four four is absolutely incredible. Along with the lyrics behind it, a damn near perfect song in my eyes.

That's progress usually he puts the one of best songs from an album into his worst category just to troll people

Nah, that's Souk Eye

I like sorcererz a lot

You want burger king is what you want bitch Boi

MyToasterIsRetarded You mean its a GOOD version of The Fall

I mean don't get me wrong I enjoyed The Fall (Revolving Doors specifically), but it was definitely a "loose change/C-sides" kinda thing, for sure (granted it was made on Damon's iPad and was released for free, soimean)

RESET MYSELF AND GET BACK ON TRACK

Most people like all of their first three albums, they’re not a “pick and choose” band like Muse.

@@masterofdisguise9564 preach

In a way there's still a certain "sound" and production choices that makes up for Gorillaz' music's identity, and trying new sounds does risk the fact of losing parts of that identity, which is somewhat true for this album, and definitely mostly true for Humanz, the seemingly cartoonish but zany and quirky production that made Gorillaz feel otherworldly and interesting in the first place as a musical act seemed almost nowhere to be found on Humanz (hence the "Various Artists ft. Gorillaz" joke surrounding it) and that identity still somewhat wounded in The Now Now.

Glokib yuh especially compared to the rest of the year

Mr. Robot And gorillaz... We gotta be friends

Actually not funny mr robot?

@@riahlexington their profile photo

Actually not funny Ah ok. I was like what?

John Lee Eh, some changes would have to be made in the tracklist for it to fit.

And Ticker Tape definitely

Sleeping powder was the only Gorillaz sounding song since the now now

Same with Busted and Blue

I always felt like Sleeping Powder didn't belong on Humanz. It actually feels like a more classic style Gorilaz song. I love it though.

Fuckthony ICEtano

unlike the album

The album was more like eh but it's not that bad

Matt Ponder Yeah it's slightly over average

Matt Ponder According to a q and A Anthony did it means he likes it. 6- 10 means he likes the album

izaiaz12 THIS. I love Demon Days but Plastic Beach is a goddamn perfect album and imo the groups artistic peak.

I agree, plastic beach plays so perfect Though I still find the debut the best.

Plastic Beach has aged really well, maybe the best of all the Gorillaz albums, but nothing tops Demon Days. Something about combining a still up and coming Danger Mouse and Albarn really captured lightning in a bottle. I mean if I had to pick a weak track I'd say that November Has Come is probably it, and yet it's got freaking MF Doom on it, so how bad can it be.

The self titled has always been my favourite personally, I love Starshine and Sound Check ( Gravity) and well as the obvious singles. Demon Dayz and Plastic Beach are both great though, not too sure about their most recent stuff really.

Though I adore Plastic Beach, I think it has the same level of quality as Demon Days, with the latter having a much more apocalyptic vibe than the refreshing easy going vibe Plastic Beach has going for. Both are superb albums that shine a lot in their differences.

Noel McGovern nope, Sorcererz

i was gonna say tranz or souk eye but that's a good one too

Yeah I didn’t believe my eyes that one

That's Tranz, Fire Flies being a close second.

I enjoyed it back 2 years ago, but returning to it, it sounds much more special now.

Isaac Ezac can’t really see the difference between Plastic beach and the new album. Like, they are both grate. Well, for me

@@malkuusha The Now Now isn't nearly as experimental and doesn't feature the same crazy features that PB did.

@Sofia Malkova Plastic beach was incredibly powerful, especially on some of their depressing tracks, e.g Empire Ants. This album just doesn’t have the same energy. It kinda just reminds me of spending the day inside bored and tired and with nothing to do.

The new music that has came out feels like a better gorillaz now

​@@mariomena7141 Yeah it's startin to sound pretty nice. Hoping we get a real energetic/depressing track or 2 on this one lol.

Tiger Bears it's better than Humanz and The Fall. That's it

Zoibek - I think it is better than The Fall and Humanz, I don’t think it’s quite as good as Demon Days (Or at least not on the whole), I’d say it’s on par with plastic beach and their self titled album.

Tiger Bears idk about being on par with Plastic Beach or the self titled album. I'd place the Now Now under those two.

Isaac Ezac self titled (gorillaz), demon days, and plastic beach are the holy trinity of gorillaz. The Now Now is a ahead of the fall and humanz but not by much

The Now Now is a mood. If you fuck with the mood, you really love the album.

Sorry, but saying 'all their albums are fantastic' makes you just come off as a blind fan boy. It is impotent to more harshly criticise the things you love in order to be more objective in the future. Also, one of the reasons huamnz was criticised due to the poor mixing and arrangements in certain songs, theirs nothing "genius" about that.

En Joshi-Godrez well, as you said, this is just only your opinion. There is no such a thing as a “criticism”, when you are a fan of smthg, cause all of fans have different opinions and tastes. I’ve seen people, who called the “Humanz” the best album. And they are not stupid. Not right or wrong. This is just their opinion. That’s all

Nope. Not true at all. You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not at all entitled to how people perceive it. Someone that provides an explanation to justify what they said will be perceived as having a more valid opinion than someone that refuses to justify theirs. Saying "all options are equal" would only make sense if you are the only person that is being referenced is you. The second you tell it to someone else, it is no longer up to you how valid that opion is perceived by who ever you a talking to. You can choose to not care or debate on whether you agree with them, also known as 'conversation'. But you can't act like what you said is will be "equally valid" to everyone else. "options are equal" literally doesn't work in the real world. Grow up and start living in it.

It's not. His reviews go way into 2009 (even the first video on the channel now isn't his first), but he deleted them all because he used to play parts of the album in the review and didn't want to get any more copyright strikes.

My User Name Is Too Long For Th Yeah I’ve heard that in his podcast I think, but I’ll pretend that it is

Sure, although it would be nice to know what album was first.

You're really bad at comma's

3D KURLS live is better it was a letdown for me

When I heard this live I honestly thought it's a good song, but as soon I heard the album version, I was disappointed.

Hell yeah Tranz was my fav track aswell

YOU RIGHT

The Big Babadaboni exactly what i was thinking about this album!

It's weird because I think that the now now never sinks as low as the fall or humanz, but on the other hand those two albums both have tracks that go way above any of the tracks in the now now. Nothing really stood out in the latest release for me.

Nope, definitely their worst all albums previous to humanz was perfect even the d sides and Laila come home

Gavin Rivas Eh, different people different tastes I guess

I really like this album, but you do you. Demon days is one of my favorite album

Elliott Geer Yeah of course. Changing is important but albums years apart still had so much power to them, such as Hong Kong and Empire Ants. I just feel like the Now Now was lacking raw power, although it had some good jams.

JonS I thought it was quite better than humanz. But tbf, human is the only album with songs I actaully dislike.

Spectre Lex I kind of liked Humanz. I thought it was pretty good.

The thing is, there really is no Gorillaz. I mean that you can't really name a Gorillaz album under a single genre. I thought that the initial backlash towards Humanz was that it mostly sounded like a modern rap album. But the thing is, Damon has always incorperated Rap into all of their albums (except The Fall). I thought it was a good album, certanly not on par with Demon Days or Plastic Beach, but it was still respectable. I don't think it deserved all the hate it got.

But damn got a 7

Sharlenn La ye man but I’m crying why did he put Tranz in LEAST

Young Skudz I’m meh on tranz. I’m sorry but the live version is soooo much better with a lot more energy. But in the studio version, his voice is much higher and has less energy and oomph to it.

Tranz and Hollywood are also great
