njpunkmusic Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 After about 25 listens, this has finally grown on me. Does it have the lasting value of their first two albums; absolutely not. But I dont hate it as much. Give it another month and it will be lost forever in my library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl addict Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 My deluxe arrived from Amazon UK, safe and sound. It was shipped in an Amazon UK mailer. No damages that I can find. Blumplum and erikness 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vector53 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) If people are trying to force themselves to like this album, that's on them. Still loving the album over here. Seems like they've doing a couple Euro dates as well with ACL and a festival in Uruguay. Going to be a busy tour season for them. Apparently Damon said in a recent interview that he's bringing dancers along for the full live shows lol. Oct is so far away though.

Derek™ Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 16 minutes ago, Vector53 said: That was pretty good. I know we all mocked the ridiculous mega-deluxe bundle, with each track on its own 12". But the owners of that set are going to get the last laugh – on an album where only 2-3 of its 20+ tracks are worth revisiting, having immediate access to vinyl playback is pretty awesome. Anyone with a standard press or art book can eat their heart out. But jokes aside, I did listen to the deluxe version of this thing to ensure that all my jabs were justified. It is not for me at all; even as someone who's not into the Gorillaz, I could identify that it doesn't really sound like their prior work at all – and not in a good "wow these guys really progressed" kind of way – and the cohesion was all but absent. I almost felt like I was listening to a Spotify radio station, but that's just my take. I will say that Charger is boss though. I love that spastic stuttter guitar line. And when the beat syncs up with it? Wew. Vector53 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector53 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Like your honesty and frankness. It's a shame Damon sometimes does this to his fans but it seems tough to change that man's mind when he's decided. Also while I'm at it, it looks like they revealed the tracklist for the super deluxe. Turns out we are getting some new songs out of it as well!

jaypeap Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 i wonder if they'll release the bonus tracks digitally at some point, or if they'll stay exclusive to the 'super deluxe'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Finn Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I'm looking forward to the Super Deluxe tracks, August is a long time to wait though. 8 hours ago, jaypeap said: i wonder if they'll release the bonus tracks digitally at some point, or if they'll stay exclusive to the 'super deluxe'. I doubt they will until they do some sort of "J-sides" release like they've done in the past with other bonus tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Finally got a chance to spin the deluxe. Sonics are great. Very clear and crisp, with just enough kick down low. The vinyl is quiet, flat, and centered. Vector53, trickster and mondie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 yeah, I don't know where they pressed it at, but its a solid pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number11 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 They really need to release those bonus tracks on vinyl. I normally don't care for bonus tracks, but those extra few songs definitely makes this album feel more 'complete'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I concur. Hoping at some point they release a 12" with all the bonus tracks. Professor Finn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghjghj Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 This album grew on me. But god the packaging of standart vinyl is such a let down! Only 2 pictures that were used as promo month before and they are both cut? For real? Give me something cool to look at while I Iisten to the album like BP and ST did. Yeah yeah yeah I will buy deluxe(with book) when tomorrow comes today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Okay believe it or not, I JUST now listened to this for the first time. I really, really loved it. I agree with everyone else in the sense that it could use more 2D, but I didn't find myself missing him too much most of the time because everything else was so great. vinyl addict, Vector53, erikness and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you like it, I wasn't missing 2D too much especially since I really liked Busted and Blue which is the only 2D only track.
