Always makes me chuckle how there used to be this massive war against Blur and Oasis. I never thought there was any actually quality in Oasis songs. They're pleasant enough but kinda samey. Damon has continued to carve out new kinds of quality in everything he produces. Noel Gallagher's a good songwriter but pales compares to this. I'm not even mentioning Liam...
string section females are invariably hot. also, in this band i want to be, even the fuckin' triangle, if needs dictate! well, youse be well. hasta la proxima.
but obviously I'm bias because I dont know anything about Damon Albarn and i am a HUGE fan of the Clash and know pretty much everything about them!! :)
damon isn't as overall good as he was when Blur were still active as he is in ANY of his side projects especially in this one. same for a lot of great artists who do sideprojects like thom yorke, etc. musically different but overall not as great or exciting as in their primary
I think that the idea is to have a kind of laid back feel on the drums, not something too technical, fast, or loud. Just something soft and emotional. Like, look at a lot of their bass lines. Not too complex, yet a with a lot of feeling.
i love the album, but i hope i'm not the only one who thinks their instrumental b-sides are even better... seriously, "Back in the Day" from Herculean and i believe it's "Polling Day" from one of the Kingdom of Doom 7"... amazing
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Must agree bobb... I think its one of those ones "you had to be there"....It just sounds all out of tune..without sounding like a fanny.....TGTBATQ...troubadours
the whole band is just a load of eccentrics. its brilliant. all bands should be like this. they should make a film where TGTBATQ rob a bank or something.
i think damon is an edgy fooker but i think music wise he is a genius nothing he has done is below excellent,and this album is sublime/pure class.thanks for putting this up
...who cares. I'm American, but I guess I'm in that 20% you're talking about. BTW...I'd put Doug Martsch at Damon's level as far as song writing goes...and I'm guessing, but I bet about only 1 in 100 Brits know who Doug Martsch is...AND his band has been amongst the best music out there for years.
Y'know, with the aftermath of Demon Days and all that, I was beginning to think Damon was turning into a bit of a Nathan Barley if you know what I mean. But this genuinely emotive performance builds and just gets more stunning the more it goes on.
I'm not sure what you mean by Nathan Barley, but I will say that I am always pleasantly surprised by the emotion I see in his live performances. I think when you listen to him on albums it's easy to get the idea he wouldn't be motivated on stage.
You a not close to talking nonsens! I feel just like you! I feel like this is everything i need in this world! This number! When i become a mucisian i will play music like this. Not becourse of the money, but becourse of what happens inside me when playing music! Just play because its the best thing i know in the hole world! Just like this! :'D
por que simonon no canta?? el es mejor es mucho para todo ellos..The Clash!!!!
