Why hasn't there been one yet? Usually this place has
topics on all the new releases i'm interested in :-)

But ehr... this album is really great. Actually i haven't
bought it yet, but my brother has... so i've been borrowing
it from him... and i can't stop listening to it!!
It's so good! The tracks produced by norman cook don't sound
nothing like fatboy slim at all. It's mostly a
soft/experimental type of album. "out of time" was quite
representative i think (altough some of the songs (crazy
beat!) rock pretty hard).

Sadly my brother comes home from his trip tonight, and i
suspect he'll be wanting to listen to it :-o
So i'll have to buy this album for myself this week.

The limited edition digipack is pretty funny... it's like
blur want to be radiohead now. It looks so much like
amnesiac it's scary!

The track produced by william orbit does sound very
typically "orbit-ish" though. All those familiar sounds he
always uses... it's getting kind of old. But still a good
song.

it a 9, AMG gave it a 2, I go with AMG.

"

I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THE ARTWORK THOUGH!! :-p

Seeing as it's a red booklet, with all the lyrics done with
a typewriter... and lots of handwritten stuff and little
sketchy drawings....

Maybe the normal version of the cd looks less like radiohead
;-)

i bought it today...sounds good so far
(i like it better than gorilaz)

hmm, they went trip hop...radiohead are trying to do the
same thing but they suck at it!

i'll post some more when i get to know the songs (whether
you like it or not hehe)

this album is really weak, i borrowed it from a friend from
school and it has absoltely no flow. tracks 1,2,4,11 are
good but the rest pretty much sucks. that crazy beat song is
ridiuclously bad as is weve got a file on you and number 12
makes me want to break the cd in half.

I think the album is really good. Especially since it's the
kind that starts out OK, but gets better and better each
time you listen.

Phew, i'm glad you like it so far! (i would have felt
incredibly guilty for recommending you a cd you didn't like
;-)).

I never actually bought the gorillaz-album, but i must say i
liked all the singles they released. One of these days i'm
gonna buy that album.

"(whether you like it or not hehe) "

Ha! Don't worry, i'd like that ;-) It'll be interesting to
read your opinion. I myself still can't get enough of this
album... it's one of the best releases this year for sure. I
just discovered there's also a secret track on it (rewind
from zero to hear it). But it's... the only not-so-good song
on the album imo :-) Glad they hid it so i don't have to
listen to it everytime.

"that crazy beat song is ridiuclously bad"

Are you mad?! That song is awesome! Already the first time i
heard it i was like: "whoa... what is this? This rocks!".
It's also their new single... this could become their "Song
#3", it's that good!

1. trippy dubby - imo that trombone (not sure what it is
hehe) is not neccessary, but it doesnt spoil the song
either
2. i like this one a lot-damon sings nice in this one, nice
melody, and i love that acoustic guitar
3. nice uptempo punkish one
4. i this one is to impress the girls
5. this one is excellent-i love dub sounds and the synth
sound
6. wow, blues and old pop like? dont like this one that
much...
7. i like this one a lot-distorted damons voice fits nice
into this one
8. oriental-rock combo, wild...
9. i love that sound that plays at 2.10
10. another great one! i love piano lately
11. great combo of bass guitar and blues (slide) guitar?
nice
12. it starts nice, a little disapointing later on
13. very melancholic tune - just right for the kind of mood
im in (its a bit alike sigur ros at times), i like this one
a lot!

it is a wonderful album, i prefered some others released
this year, but im definitely happy i bought it - i read some
nice reviews + surrounded recommended it (thank you)

so everyone...get it!
:D

wow, this album is much better than what i initialy
thought...
i was listening to it this days a lot (while driving on
sonar)...i actually listened to it 3 times in a row (cant
remember when was the last time i did such thing)
and than i listened to it twice in a row the next day
sounds like an perfect album to take on the trip (it suits
great especially when its getting dark outside)

i really didn't like that "crazy beat".. it seems too
repetitive for my tastes, and that robot-sounding voice and
the whole "yea yea yea" thing really rubs me in the wrong
way. they could have least given it a crazy beat.. but to
each his/her own.. and i might like the rest of the album
possibly..i never usually like the singles for a lot of
bands..

this albume is really awesome! i haven't listened to it in a
really long time...this is a good thing actually, to have so
much music to listen to that it takes about a year to come
around and hear same stuff again...great music!

comparing band to band is usually silly....but when compared
to Radiohead's stuff.....this album sounds way more fresh,
way less serious less pompoueous etc. Albarn's singing style
sounds cool, compared to Yorke's moaning. This album makes
me want to hum. and it sounds like it was made in cool,
relaxed studio conditions. while Radiohead albums mean
SOMETHING and are SERIOUS cause those guys are against
things and stuff. I don't say it's bad cause yeah, earth is
already fucked, human kind is doomed, climate changes are
here and we can feel them more and more every year.....but
when you need a nice little album to chill on the
weekend....."think tank" = win !
