*Everybody raises their hand*
"Okay, now who wants to make a new Blur album?" *Damon Albarn is the only one with his hand still raised* That's how I like to imagine how that whole process goes. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, pretty much.
Gorillaz had the New Orderiest song that wasnt actually New Order on Song Machine so Im cool with that. Blurs most recent was a good album though. Was a very safe album though. --- Did my singing please you? No, the words you sang were wrong 24 hour party parrot ... Copied to Clipboard!

Song Machine fucks.
The Magic Whip... does actually have some good songs. I genuinely love Ong Ong, and the title track is just kinda weird and groovy. I do miss songs like Coffee and TV, Country House, This is a Low and Tracy Jacks. But considering Think Tank and 13, I think the fact that Magic Whip ended up the way it did is okay. --- I can feel it in my bones, I'm gonna spend another year alone.

I really liked song machine, but my personal issue with it is that the very first song, Momentarily Bliss, is by far the best song on the album and nothing else comes close.
So while the other songs are good in their own way, nothing else quite reaches that high for me after the first track. I hate it when that happens. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Friday the 13th took a few listens though. Momentary Bliss was one of my least favourite singles when all was said and done, and Desole was the one that made me think that Song Machine was going to be a return to form. --- I can feel it in my bones, I'm gonna spend another year alone.

Aries wants a fuckin word.Aries is good, but my number two is either Valley of Pagans or Pac-Man. In fact, the only song I didn't like was Friday the 13th because Octavian's parts were awful throughout. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Aries wants a fuckin word.Let's face it, pretty much every single off this album was incredible for its own reasons. Valley of the Pagans is the only Beck-adjacent song I think I've ever liked. --- I can feel it in my bones, I'm gonna spend another year alone. Now Playing: Persona 5, Minecraft ...

Momentary Bliss was one of my least favourite singles when all was said and done, and Desole was the one that made me think that Song Machine was going to be a return to form.It reminds me of my "issue" with the Scott Pilgrim video game soundtrack. Amazing soundtrack altogether. But, imo, Another Winter; the song on the very first level, blows everything else out of the water, and all the songs afterwards we're good but wasn't anywhere as good as that and it disappointed me a little. But yeah, that's just me and my weird hang ups. I'm sure we can agree that the album was definitely super solid overall. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I really didn't like Humanz, The Good Good had one excellent single and I've traditionally been pretty harsh on Damon-lite songs like November Has Come and Sweepstakes and stuff. But Friday the 13th is such a moody, appropriate song, and I thought Octavian's vocals fit the lyric exceptionally well. He sells it from the first line. It's like, there's so many awesome layered sounds to the music by the end, and the part before 2D comes in strips away all of the bright, brassy trumpets and snazzy percussion. It's that sparse moment with the bass and piano that made me fall in love with the song, and it reinforced just how lush the song had become by that point. I love it. It's such a bouncy, strung-out song. Excellent mood music. Its only crime IMO is that it's a serious grower, because it took me a few listens to enjoy it. It won't be for everyone, but I'm a hardcore apologist for Friday the 13th. --- I can feel it in my bones, I'm gonna spend another year alone. Now Playing: Persona 5, Minecraft ...

Let's face it, pretty much every single off this album was incredible for its own reasons.Definitely, they were all definite choons, if a little disjointed. I quite like Beck, but Valley of the Pagans was definitely much more like his Midnight Vultures work than anything. Which I dont mind, really --- Have I carved enough, my Lord?

I worked a Damon Albarn solo show and took one of the best naps of my life during his set. Also it took his band like 40 minutes to get that one Blur song right during soundcheck. Great day.Fun Fact: Elastica's hit song "Stutter" is about having lousy sex with Damon Albarn. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
