I try it once every few months just to see if it's better than I recall, or to see if it'll clock like other albums have mysteriously done at random, as time goes on.  I'm still getting nothing over here.  I don't think it's inherently bad music, nor am I weighing it against its hype.  It just doesn't ever reach a moment that leaves a lasting impression on my end.  I know I'm in a minority but it's whatever.  Not a record I'm forcing myself to like, but also not so terrible that I need to delete it off my HD.  Somewhere firm between the two.

This is exactly how I feel about it

Because you clearly don't like them.  There is a huge fan base of people who unironically enjoy their output, you not understanding that does not make the hype less real.

Again, all I have said is that the amount of hype was overblown. I'm not questioning that there exists a dedicated fan base. You are correct that I don't appreciate much of their material. I am not even commenting on the merits of being a fan. All I said and continue to say is that the hype for this release which included a hundreds of dollars super deluxe pressing of each track on an individual 12", and the resulting sales volume for said deluxe edition, wasnt warranted. The proof of this is evident on this very board in the numerous people having second thoughts about even waiting for their super deluxe (still 4 months away mind you) rather than cancelling their order. i have no beef with these british apes. I'm just amused when I recall the raving that occurred in this very thread when the pre-order dropped.

The repress has nothing to do with it.

People were hyped before they even knew a repress of DDs was coming. Gorillaz gets played all over the radio (at least in the cities I visit).  People who like Gorillaz did not forget about them, it sounds like you simply don't like Gorillaz.

Fair enough. To me, it simply doesn't justify the amount of hype that was seen on these and other boards for a new album as if its the second coming. Many of the features were very offputting to me after just seeing the tracklist. My point being that just because you and I still hear Feel Good Inc on the radio once in a while and laugh when someone plays Clint Eastwood at the bar, that doesnt make a new Gorillaz album any more relevant in 2017,  despite the flashy vinyl packages and kewl kartoonz.

and the hype dissipates faster than it even manifested itself. i knew people just came out of the woodwork for this because of the demon days repress. brilliant strategy by whoever is managing these guys. lets be honest, other than hearing them on the jukebox once in a while, everyone forgot about them until this year (or should have).

Buy one from a flipper on eBay. Take the A/B out and tell them you got two C/D sides and ask to return it. You get the correct records and the flipper gets screwed. Win win.

Total "noob" question.

I honestly don't know short of taking the records out of it. Maybe pack the shelf tightly??

only do this if you want ring wear on the rest of your records (or take them out of sleeves - but you still could get ring wear this way)

funny how this has demanded a reissue for years, and instead of one we get 3 unannounced and staggered releases all within a month of each other.

btw guys molly burch came out with a superb rock album this year. check it out.  Should be in my top 20 at least by year's end.

it actually mildly reminds me of old busta rhymes covers, like a not great super-up close photo and bland coloring. kind of cool if it is an homage to old-school hip hop albums, but I doubt it was intended to be. not nearly as worried about the cover art as I am about the "Sweetest Thing" remix on track 11.

before the defense attorneys for lord kendrick swarm in, id just like to say please listen to Freddie Gibbs' new album You Only Live 2wice, it is very good.

This mentality is very confusing for me. Say you hated Beach House, OK, Money Trees is still a boss track

a sample is vastly different from a feature, and bono seems to leave a noticeable (unfavorable to many people) mark on any track he sings on. This combined with the current trend of mainstream rappers pairing with mainstream singers from a completely different genre, makes me think bono will be singing, and I won't like it. Sadly, just another sign kendrick is going over the edge to total mainstream sellout. Some people will not like that or agree, but it is what it is.

If it's a sample it could be alright.

 

If it's a bono chorus or some shit it's gonna be dumb.

i doubt the artist would be featured on the tracklist if it was just a sample.

Lol you all ragging on U2 and K.dot when you haven't even heard the song. You are all just preprogrammed to be hating on Bono. Fyi, War is a good album.

Bono earns our ire.

Honestly that restaurant stand up was pretty comical to me. But the vinyl review vid seems like under developed satire. Some people in here are just pissed at you now cause they thought it was genuine for longer than they should have. 

bono and kendrick? sheesh

woah newbury going hard on the com truise exclusives:

So people are making the argument that others only say/think kendrick is the best rapper bc his superiority in album sales and popularity? Hm. If anything, his popularity and album sales reflect his ability. 

If I believed that, I'd think people actually wanted Donald or Hillary to be president. Of course, as I live in the real world, what the media tells me does not always = reality.

B4DA$$ is nowhere near as good as TPAB and you're crazy if you think so

based on what? the grammy's or itunes album reviews? both are wrong is the point. i agree on danny brown being polarizing, cannot listen to his full albums either. but all i saw was people trying way too hard last year to turn TPAB  into some kind of social justice warrior race-relations inspired illmatic. it wasnt that

THEY THOT IT WAS COOL TO REPRESS THIS ON DOUBLE VINYL ABOUT 8 YEARS TOO LATE
