Even more than all those boring electronica albums, which I can at least imagine having been influential to a scene which doesn't include me, this feels like a total waste of a spot on the list. I can't help but believe that it's only here because British people can't help themselves when they see Damon Albarn? Musically, it's probably a 2, but I just feel like my time is being totally wasted by getting this one today, so it's getting a 1.
I love Damon Albarn but I did not like this damn
Probably the most boring thing ive listened too so far during this. Awful.
“Oh wow! It has X person from X band, anddddd X person from X band, anddddd, etc., etc.” (Proceeds to sell a stupid amount of records, riding on prior efforts’ reputation and completionists alone) Never listening again.
Taas kerran miettii millä perusteella nämä täällä ovat. Voi kyynel mitä kuraa
I was more confused what this was
This is very easy to dislike. Dreary. Awful band name. So redundant to the list. This is musical nepotism. You just hired the guy with the killer CV without even conducting the interview. Never has anything been so much less than the sum of its parts. 1 star - not because its 1 star awful but because its hard to imagine something less deserving of a spot on the list.
Shite
This is the first Damon alburn album I've heard in full and that's unfortunate. I know I'll enjoy his other works far more. I found this to be the most mid album ever
No thanks. 1/5
Not listened before - not a must listen Favourite tracks: Herculean, title track
"Supergroup" my arse!
It's like a more boring version of a gorillaz album. Seeing as gorrilaz is essentially a supergroup, I really struggle to tell the difference between that and this.... Except that this is mind numbing and there is no rapping
Ai vielä tasapaksumpaa kuin Gorillaz? Mutta kirjoitin "biisejä Lontoosta"! Palkkasin The Clashin basistin! Rekrytoin Fela Kutin rumpalin! Juu.
I’ve had a bad stretch. Not even all “bad” albums. Just all forgettable stuff that makes you question if there is any good music or if you’ve lost your touch. I think it’s the albums.
Didn't want to rate anything this low, but it's awful. I like music from each of these musicians biggest bands, but this supergroup will never be on my Playlist. Not one redeeming song.
A supergroup isn’t really super if they don’t have any good ideas.
Dont see what all the fuss is about.
For such a legendary lineup, this is unfortunately boring standard brit rock. The only influence I hear here is from Damon Albarn. The rest of the band might as well be studio musicians.
I didn't like this album. The music was too simplistic, and the lyrics were not very captivating.
This just was sleazy and boring and mopey and gosh way too long. I don’t recognize why it should be on this list.
If this was the singer trying their best, then I don't want to hear them on an off day.
Come one man, why is this on here? Is it because one the guys is Damon Albarn, and they think he shits gold?Honestly can't see why this is on here? Sub par, demolike shite songs. Dont waste your time
Not good, not bad, sounds nothing like Queen, more like a watered down Gorillaz.
I'm rating it now even though there's still a couple songs left because holy shit this is boring. Why is everything Damon Albarn does so lifeless outside of a few bangers with Blur. You've got Tony Allen on the drums man, do something!
Like a pack of Gorillaz b-sides that weren't good for an album for that particular super group. Whilst there is nothing wrong with the album, there is nothing of worth here: bland, insepid, and inoffensive
I was hopeful this wouldn't be some self-indulgent British wankfest of over-inflated egos mashing their individual sounds together with little to no cohesion, but oh well maybe next time.
Nicht meine Richtung
Garbage. And not the good garbage like the band Garbage. Actually garbage
Supergroups sound cool in theory, but most of them just end up as less than the sum of their parts
Only bad. No good
It was neither good nor bad.
Rubbish!
I'll defend Brit Pop and it's fearsome leige Albarn the Conqueror until my last breath but this absolutely doesn't need to be on the list. Didn't hate it but one star as a nod to the BP detractors being right (this time)
I find this so very bland
I don't enjoy this faux gritty music production and sound and I don't care about whatever this man is sad about
Nope. I don’t think super groups work out a lot.
Gehört und von der Mediathek entfernt, nichts für mich!
How Albarn has blagged a living is beyond me
bored. no worse than that! looked for a band I hadnt heard of on the list. and i agree - dumb name. Oh the bleakness. how to make a ska beat feel flat... but then it sounds like Gorillaz B-side stuff. POh wait - Damon Albarn is Blur and Gorillaz - this is why some peopel should not always be indulged do side projects - NONE of the fun and charm of the others tuff I have heard him in. the opposite of uplifitng - its jarringly two speed (sad and bleak mixed with happy keyboard - my audiitory processing area is hurting).... admins - please remove this album from the list - ahhahaaa. no.
Sounded like American Idol amateur hour. Holy crap was the singing awful.
Never heard of this album or band and for good reason. Not a fan.
Like Gorillaz, only not good. An album I did not need to hear before I died.
Schijt
Didn’t really enjoy the music. To me the album is recreating songs that have already been made and the styles have been overdone. Like a 60s-70s album made in 2008. Just not fun or interesting to listen to for me.
Pretty boring album. The last two songs had some legs though. Those two songs brought this album from a 1 to a 1.5 for me. Shoegaze?
Joo ei. Säälittävää määkimistä. Varmaan lajissaan ihan hyvä, mut joo ei.
Meh, blur en gorillaz veel leuker
1/5. This album was honestly just so boring. It felt like multiple ideas being thrown around with none of them landing. The lack of processing on Albarn's voice felt so out of place for the vibe of the album. It felt like a Gorillaz album with some instruments thrown in there besides just a electronic beat. There was potential for sure, and it wasn't necessarily terrible to listen to, but there is no reason for me to revisit this one.
I thought this was OK when it came out; now, I don't understand why I had any time for it. Plodding and tiresome. More overvaluing of albums by artists who have done good stuff elsewhere.
Damon Albarn seems to have his finger in many pies. This one is cold and not too tasty, but his finger is still in it.
