Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Between preparing the new album by Blur and the Gorillaz next musical extravaganza, Damon Albarn has found the time to team up with Paul Simonon (ex-bass player in The Clash), Simon Tong (former guitarist in The Verve) and Fela Kuti's drummer Tony Allen and release the self-titled The good, the bad and the queen. It's not a record filled with catchy songs as Blur or Gorillaz might be, instead this one creates a moody, somewhat melancholic, atmosphere. Listen to it a few times and you'll see it sinks in.
After listening to the two Gorillaz albums it would be a crime not to try this one. Not one for Britney fans, it is nice and laid-back, intelligent and musically superb. Definitely an album to put on a high quality system. In fact, the bass is so low you need a good system to hear it at its best. Hasn't got the immediate impact of Damon Albarn's two previous albums but grows on you and is never boring. With all the Indie cloning happening on the music scene at the moment, Albarn seems the only person looking forward and this is well worth a listen. Steve
I have to admit i'm slightly bias where it comes to Damon Albarn since The so called Brit pop battle, Blur were the outstanding of the Bands for me...anyone can plagorize (Oasis style) but very few have the depth and passion to be consistant in diversity, this album is yet another example of excellence and cant wait for the next Londoners project x
You really have to give this a few listens but as you do the more you hear glimpes of brilliance. I love all of Damon Albarns work but this does feel quite dark, and to me, even more 'urban' than the Gorillaz. But if you like the Gorillaz youll love this.
