I mean, better than Blur. I think Damon just isn't for me.
more like the sleep, the snooze, and the naptime. no oxford comma so bonus negative points
Jesus Christ Damon this is an embarrassment. You're telling me that the guy responsible for bands I love like Blur and Gorillaz also was the driving force of this mess? Really disappointed by this.
Supergroup, my ass.
I was really hoping for something more but… this just fell flat. Listened to it all in one go and even at the end of the album I had no idea what I just heard.
Would never be on this list if it was recorded by someone less famous. Not crap, utterly boring, and not important in any way.
Not unpleasant but so little to it you can hardly tell it's on. music: barely registered. (⌐-_-)
I think every single album ever made by an English guy is on here. I read about this and bought it on release day because of Paul Simonen’s involvement. Listened once, never thought of it again. Remember why now. Not bad, just totally non-essential.
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooring
Eh. Kind of boring if you ask me. In the beginning it recommend me of the Joe Strummer post clash work but that all had interest and sucked you in. This seemed to fight to keep me out. 2
Really overrated offering from one of the more overrated contributors out there. Not a lot redeeming about this one. 2/5
nå bs
The Good, The Bad & The Queen's self-titled album finds itself in a perplexing position. While it's not outright horrible, it fails to captivate with any real sense of intrigue or depth. The album traverses through various sonic landscapes, blending elements of rock, pop, and experimental music. Despite its ambition, however, it struggles to leave a lasting impression. Tracks meander without a clear sense of direction, lacking the hooks or memorable moments that define truly engaging music. Damon Albarn's vocals, though competent, fail to inject the necessary emotion or charisma into the songs. Overall, while The Good, The Bad & The Queen's effort is not without its merits, it falls short of being truly compelling, leaving me questioning its inclusion on the 1001 list. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 1 STAND OUT TRACK - The Good, the Bad and the Queen
I didn’t really like this album because it feels like it was trying to be experimental but just ended up sounding generic. it just kind of went in one ear and out the other.
I do love the Gorillaz, but this was not my favorite album. I just don’t like it when a band replaces instruments with long oscillating notes from one keyboard. Especially when it often gets screechy.
Similarly to a Big Star album I heard, I feel like this is only on the 1001 album list because Damon Alborn is involved. let's say an artist no one's heard of made this, it would not be on here. Because it is simply inferior to Gorillaz and Blur. Sure it wasn't bad listening, just something to put on in the background and immediately forget. A side project as well implies a lack of love and dedication for the thing. This lacked heart and spirit; it was mediocre, not good.
nothing specail
Based on the acoustic guitar intro to the first song, I thought I'd like this, but I did not.
On the quieter songs, the lead singer’s voice was complimentary. On others, the whininess and annoying sound overpowered the music.
Almost a one star. Joyless, and Damian voice grates after a while
Mediocre at best. There's gotta be something better than this that's not on this list.
Estos experimentos no están mal. Si te gustaba Blur y los Decemberist este es tu disco. Me he guardado Herculean y Kingdom of doom. No creo que sea imprescindible para mucha gente.
It's fine. Just fine. Nothing that'll stick with you or come close to lifting up your skirt.
As usual with Albarn, I’m not sure how much of this I like versus tolerate. There’s a lot of throwing ideas against the wall and seeing what sticks without any clear intention behind a bunch of it. As a depiction of London in the 2000s, it’s myopic and overly concerned with angst…which is often where Albarn loses me. Where’s the optimism? Where’s the energy of the city? Interesting collaboration but forgettable beyond the people involved.
Rating: 5/10 Meh.
2 - I thought I would like this album based on the way it started, but nothing happens in it. There's alright parts, but the music doesn't do anything with any momentum that it may have had. I don't really see why this is one of the 1001 albums I have to listen to. Just put Demon Days on the list, man.
Ah yes, my favorite Damon Albarn non-Gorillaz, non-Blur project! This one is mostly a letdown considering the personnel tied to it. A Danger Mouse produced record with Albarn and Paul Simonon on bass should be an easy knock out, but I felt myself getting sleepy and bored with this one pretty often.
I kind of generally like Damon Albarn's sensibilities and there were moments on this one where it sort of cleared up and i could appreciate the song writing, but generally it seemed really cluttered. hard to listen to, i ended up needing to split it up over a few days because it would not hold my attention. it's intricate, but it lacks contrast.
Fun instrumentation but sorry Damon your voice doesn’t do it for me if it’s not a blur song
I did not love this. There was this weird pitch-shifted "Alvin and the Chipmunks" vocal double that was panned to the right on multiple songs, which I absolutely hated. At one point, I started thinking, "Okay, maybe I am kind of enjoying this now. I've liked the last couple songs" only to find out that Spotify randomly decided to switch to playing a shuffle of other similar songs in the middle of the album. Every song that I had thought I had liked was not actually on the album. It wasn't completely irredeemable, so I will reluctantly give it 2 stars.
"The Good, The Bad & The Queen" by the supergroup of the same name falls short of expectations, earning a 2/5 rating. Despite featuring renowned musicians like Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon, Simon Tong, and Tony Allen, the album fails to deliver a cohesive or memorable listening experience. While the musicianship is undoubtedly proficient, the songs lack depth and fail to leave a lasting impression. The album's production, overseen by Danger Mouse, feels overproduced at times, detracting from the band's raw energy. While tracks like "Herculean" and "Kingdom of Doom" show glimpses of potential, they are overshadowed by the album's overall lackluster nature. Ultimately, "The Good, The Bad & The Queen" feels like a missed opportunity, failing to live up to the caliber of its members' previous work. 2/5
Final track aside, this is so bloody boring.
This music can't keep my attention.
Not terribly impressed though I’m sure whoever picked this was terribly impressed with themselves.
Everything Damon Albarn touches sounds like a side-project. Musically, this is better than some projects he has led, but I still hate his voice, he can't write a memorable vocal melody to save himself, and his preoccupation with the "state of England" bores me. This is wildly inessential, though it avoids being hateful.
The entire record was just too mellow for me and I am not a fan of the fuzzy production. A couple of good tracks in here but that’s it. Not my favorite side project.
Would this be here if it weren't for Damon, I doubt it,
I didn't know what to expect going into this album. Having now listened to it, I don't know what to tell you to expect going into this album. It's kind of interesting, starting with an indie pop/rock vibe and jumping around a bit, and ends with sort of a 1950s/1960s rock feel. I enjoyed the first few tracks but eventually stopped paying attention very much.
Interesting, but forgettable.
A bit boring but not bad. Some of the recording is a but annoying specially with headphones.
Not bad. Remarkable for being a side project, but I’m not quite sure what caused it to make the list. With a third of the songs left I was waiting for it to be over. No real interest in listening to it again.
I don't know how to describe this album. It's alternative, electronic, folky, synthy, emo, a little bit of pop, and a lot of bass. I've never heard an album with such soft spoken lyrics have so much bass. My car speakers were rattling. This album has me all over the place. I'm between giving it 2 stars or 4 stars. 3 stars isn't right. It's anything but average. I just don't know if anything means good or bad. For now I'll give it the Queen.
Seems like something I’d like but I just couldn’t get into it
”Supergruuppiudesta” huolimatta jää vähän jalkoihin
Not sure how to explain that it sounds interesting but it’s not? Some of these songs just go on without doing much. They overpromise at the outset and then never deliver. Reminds me of times where I come up with something I like on guitar, loop it, and then lose all interest in playing along with it after a few minutes but the loop keeps playing in my head. I wouldn’t make an album out of those, but that’s me. Damon Albarn is hit or miss to me, I like the Clash, and I love Tony Allen, but this is not quite a sum of its parts.
Quite repetitive and nothing stand out but good voice and music
Boring.
Had it's moments. Both ways.
Supergroup um Damon Albarn (Gorillaz) - spaciger Artpop mit Dub-Einflüssen. Nicht meins. 1,5
28/100 Based on this scale: 1 star - 0 to 19 2 stars - 20 to 39 3 stars - 40 to 59 4 stars - 60 to 79 5 stars - 80 to 100 Not actually bad, but eminently forgettable. Case in point, I listened to a couple of songs, but had to put it away and came back a few days later. I had completely forgotten what I'd heard so far. This list has no shortage of boring shit on it. Here, the music is often interesting, until the singing ruins everything. If your voice has a naturally soporific quality about it, then just sing lullabies and leave the rest of us alone.
It was ok, hard to focus on though. Some cool production but I couldn't latch on to the vocals, and it was pretty clearly supposed to be carried by the vocals.
Was grooving at the beginning, felt like a strange mix between gorillaz, late career Beatles songs, and some noisy british punk. Can't say I loved listening to it but it was interesting
The album was not particularly good. I am not sure what it was trying to be, maybe indie music. A little pretentious. I guess I will round up because it was only 45 minutes.
pretty good to relax and game to, some songs dragged on tho, and behind the sun just annoyed me. pretty forgettable and a lot of the songs just sounded the same.
i prefer gorillaz and blur, where damon albarn's connection with his band members feels more authentic. with 'the good, the bad & the queen', the art rock style doesn't hit the same mark for me. most songs blend together, lacking memorable hooks. a few tracks stand out slightly, nudging my rating up to a 2. it's an album with great potential, but it doesn't quite resonate like his other projects.
Less than the sum of its parts. Two and one-half stars.
Not great
The production was intriguing, but brought down by drab singing and dull lyrics. Definitely a case of style over substance. To me it came across as off-brand Radiohead. And not in a good way.
The mediocre, the mediocre, and the start of Damon Albarn's decline as a creative force.
there are some good sounds and ideas in here, but it all feels like buildup without proper resolution. as such, the whole album comes off as bland and forgettable
I listened to this on the bus on the way home from work and it made no impression whatsoever
Standard side project album.
Alright, given the artwork and the fact that I've never heard of this album before, I honestly made a furrowed wtf face when the first thing I heard was Albarn's voice. I'm not sure where some of the magic is lost, but the music here does not produce the same whimsical feel here with his singing. It's like.... you can tell he actually isn't that good of a singer. Never once did I ever have this thought while listening to the Gorillaz. It's like you are finally reminded that he's a bland British man that probably eats toast and beans for breakfast. That really says a lot about the music choice in that band compared to this one. There is also an incessant never ending piano in most tracks that clinks the same chord over and over and over instead of filling in the empty space with something lighter. It's like they're trying to imitate Sufjan Stevens. And what perfect timing actually..... the song Herculean reminds me of Age of Adz immensely. I can't explain why I don't like this album past the music just overall being quite forgettable. Was not expecting to give this a low score when it first started.
Eh. Sounds like the filler tracks on a Blur album.
forgettable
I remember getting "Herculean" as part of the free singles program on iTunes (throwback). It was nice and I enjoyed it, but it never left me wanting any more. I realize this is a supergroup, but it certainly plays kind of... plain. There are some nice dub influences sprinkled throughout, but it mostly ends with a dreary, kind of boring record that should justify why it's on this list aside from "the members are all in other, popular groups". Seriously, how did they waste a drummer from Fela Kuti's outfit? Favorite track: "Herculean"
This one was disappointing. I expected a bit more from a supposed "supergroup". The songs were very bland. They often lacked drums as well, which is strange considering the talented drummer they have in the lineup.
down with the monarchy
British supergroup composed of Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon, Simon Tong, and Tony Allen. I really enjoyed the ambiance and rock influences. The instrumentation is familiar and expansive (very Albarn); the way rock is juxtaposed with electronica and synths makes for a very modern and expensive sound; quite smooth and has a nice flow both in individual songs and as an album; has a dream-like nature to it; droning is used create atmosphere, and to be frank, I'm into it. Ultimately, nothing seems incredibly memorable, but the tunes are all quite tight, as might be expected from such a line up of professionals. A bit like a low-energy Gorillaz album, if more acoustic oriented. Loving the assortment of instruments, however. Edit: Yeah, Blur is better. Standouts: History Song, Northern Whale, The Bunting Song, Green Fields, The Good, The Bad, And The Queen.
This was just fine, I don't really care for Danger Mouse's production on this.
Oyendo de nuevo el 18 de Junio del 2025 porque nunca lo reitié en el 2023 ni dejé notas. -De por sí siempre amo la voz de Damon- 1. History Song. Reguetonoso, nice, un poco de ese synth tipo death of a party, theme for retro y optigan I. Chévere. 2. Good, not memorable. 3. " " " " " " " " " " ". 4. " " " " " " " " " " ". 5. Boring 6. Same. 7. Zzzz. Zzzzzkipped 8. Getting real fucking bored. 9. Zzzzzz 10. Three Changes. More fun, bad acid vibes tho', nice switch at 2:54. Fun, liked it more. Fav so far. 11. Cute, not catchy, boring. 12. -Tema del self titled, which is self titled- Like the intro hasta el primer verso so far. Ha explotado bien fun hasta el 4:10 (sigo en primera escucha) , acidy, nice. Una hidden track empieza con el riff del bajo. Cool, solo piano again. The end. Damn, Albarn. No queria shit on your thing but, I didn't like it too much. He'd be like: "That's aight, mate" with his English accent prolly'. 2, basically me gustó el inicio y el fin only.
It was ok. There were some parts of the album I really liked and then others that were just noise to me. My younger self would have enjoyed tripping out to some of the tunes. 😂
Dull and underwhelming - especially given the calibre of the players. Gorillaz/Blur/Clash/afrobeat this most certainly is not. Relatively interesting lyrics, but boring music.
A collaboration album between four great musicians of thier field. While the tracks contain signatures of all four musicians individual styles, I'm disappointed that the end project seems to be worse than the sum of its parts! A moody, languid record lacking the spark to make it powerful. A shame as it's technically very good with good rhythms and lyrics. For that I can't give it a one star, as some people may like it but for me this album is an unfortunate miss.
'Close, but no cigar', zoals men in het engels wel eens zegt.
Oké-ish
For 2007 this is not that good. There were several other albums in the mid 00s that were better and more influential than this. This supergroup album felt like the members found it what a supergroup from the 70s was like and tried to do that. This isn’t put together well and most of the music was boring and dull. Not a great album this time around. 4.9/10
I'm not really enjoying this all that much. These songs all sound like intros, and nothing is really grabbing my attention. I keep expecting the beat to kick in or something...but it never happens. The self titled song is the best of the bunch here and it does get a full band, rocking treatment. I wish the whole album sounded the same.
Darling Damon 2 Maybe 3
Doesn't reach the height of Gorrilaz or the best of Blur. The few good musical packages feel like samples from better songs
Bland bland bland 00s indie nonsense.
I guess these guys thought they should cash in on the popularity of their prior endeavours. The album didn’t work for me.
Overall 3/11. Some fun, but not my thing. Solid call to open with a banger. *1. "History Song" 3:05 Twangy Beetles. Druggy Finish. Love it. -2. "80's Life" 3:28 What is this Do-whap shit? -3. "Northern Whale" 3:54 Kinda Depressing -4. "Kingdom of Doom" 2:42 Starts Cowboy, back to beetles. -5. "Herculean" (featuring The Sixteen) 3:59 Slower Pumped up Kicks -6. "Behind the Sun" 2:38 Sleepy -7. "The Bunting Song" 3:47 Again Just kinda sleepy *8. "Nature Springs" 3:10 Much Better. Was beginning to to loose interest before this. Modern Beeps on retro mellow guitar scratch. We love our cowboy whistles. -9. "A Soldier's Tale" 2:30 This whole thing feels like a love letter to the beetles. Including the parts I'm not into. This is one of them. *10. "Three Changes" 4:15 Jazzy. Weird. I like that I can't tell if I like it. Fun to deconstruct. The weirder it gets the more I like it. -11. "Green Fields" 2:26 Mellow. Meaty nostalgia. Don't know. Every time I'm about to settle in it wanders away. Kinda Frustrating -12. "The Good, the Bad & the Queen" 7:00 Title drop. Definitely has that beetles influence. The yo-yoing tempo is disorienting. Kinda gives a dark circus funk? Nope not enjoying this.
It sounds like they just weren't trying
Não consegui achar nenhum diferencial.
Nope not a fan
Very mediocre
It kinda reminds me of Tame Impala. But without the heavy psychedelic sound
Album art screams rockabilly horrorpunk (the genre exists) but that isn't Dimery's style. It might be though? Art doesn't scream UK either, but again... it's Dimery... Oh fucking hell it IS from England, and Damon Albarn to boot. Zero rockabilly after the intro, mostly sounds like gloomy English half-rock, a bit like Albarn's other garbage. Big 2/5 vibe.
Was alright in places, some songs I liked but then they just droned on too long
boring
Ok but I thought slightly droney
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda
I liked Blur. Gorillaz is fine. This was less good than both.
I remember being hyped for this when it came out, but it never quite scratching the itch I thought it would, and I still feel the same. It didn't capture what made each contributor's band great, it almost became their lowest common denominator.
2.9 - A dreary and drab record that leans on a few repetitive components: staccato piano chords, hyper-compressed drum tracks, distorted vocals and growly guitars. Altogether you get a record of charcoal gray and ashen gray.
I'm not familiar with this artist or album. I'm excited to give it a listen. Now that I've listened, I don't think I need to listen again. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't my thing.
Just not my cup of tea.
Damon Albarn and his mates have a go at being Radiohead, but (spoilers) he’s no Thom Yorke
Honestly just forgettable. Not for me.
Même si l’album est incroyable ça sera un big un parce que groupe album et son du même nom faut aller se faire
Just because Damon Albarn
Sucks
Instantly forgettable, could've died for sure
Just wasn't very good
Utter waste of time
Not for me
Not for me
A cry for help
Really boring stuff, nothing creative in it. Not what you would expect from a "super group". The last song was the most interesting one but I'll probably forget about it in an hour.
Bland, boring and unmemorable.
Felt like it was raining in my office
Instantly recognised Damon Albans voice and instantly slipped into a coma Instantly forgettable
favs: 80s life northern whale nature springs rating 1.3/5
Poor man's Radiohead. Radiohead themselves are bad enough.
The Queen was probably outraged, and rightfully, so, at being included in the title of this less than stellar offering.
1. hiztory - 1 2. life - 2 3. uuhale - 1 4. doom - 2 5. herculean - 1 6. zun - 2 7. bunting - 2 8. nature - 1 9. zoldier - 1 10. three - 0 11. green - 2 12. queen - 2
How did this get here?
Wow, I did not enjoy this at all. Something about this album reeks of pretentiousness. Hard pass.
Why this was part of the list?
als grote fan van The Clash, iets mindere fan van Blur, was dit een tegenvaller van formaat.. te classeren onder de T van teleurstellend
Not what I expected. I was about to say it sounds like Damon Albarn and then I realised…Very unique, but too slow for my taste. Fav song is ‘Nature Springs’.
Supergroup? Nothing super about this.
This album is TEDIOUS. But The most annoying part is the Affected Vocal Slouch. One of the great tragedies of Bob Dylan’s popularity is the adoption of AVS as a means of signaling "I am a serious artist to be taken seriously." But for me it signals "I'm more interested in sounding cool than in sounding good." And, perhaps not surprisingly, that attitude, more often than not, produces music that is not good. This collection is an excellent example.
I was expecting so much more from this when I saw who was in this supergroup. Such a snoozer of an album. 3/10
Meh
This would have made a great ‘lost album’. The mere idea of it would have been mythical. Sadly, the reality of it far less so.
Not very interesting. This doesn't belong on this list, given how much great music came out during this period. 4.8
Boring, dont wanna hear this again. 1,8/5
Music tailor made for an indie film score and nothing else.
1/3rd correct. Bad.
Damon Albarn expended his entire creative energies on Demon Days and almost everything after has been complete shit.
Even when a side project doesn't quite work out there might be contractual obligations to release it anyway, since it was made at someone's expense, and fans of people famous for other things just might scrape up some cash for it. What's wrong is to include such albums in a list like this, and make people like me worse off for having listened to this steaming pile of shit.
The worst music Damon Albarn has ever been associated with. Uninspired drivel.
Group of mates jamming. No reason for anyone else to listen.
How many Damon Albarn records are on this dang list?!?!?
I like Damon Albarn a bit, Blur is my favorite of the Britpop stuff, Gorillaz is great, most of his solo is class. This is a bad project though. Supergroups often flatten each members' individual talents and this has got that going on in spades. It's basically the same song for forty-four minutes with slight variations on the drum fill or keys arrangement. But I found it wholly tedious. I thought I was mildly enjoying it for the bulk of it but during the last song, I heard my phone ring & I was so excited to just hear a new noise for the first time in 40 minutes that I realized I did not enjoy this one at all. One of the curious additions to the book that make you realize it's mostly written by British critics. Remember "Danger Mouse"? Favorite Track: Behind the Sun
Whatever the reason was that brought this so-called supergroup together, it ain't in the grooves. There's nothing interesting going on here; it's just track after track of nondescript songs topped off with Damon Albarn's artless singing.
Damon is boring here. Danger Mouse is the most overrated producer. Just not good is the only way I can really put it.
Supergroup? Really? Some nice musically moments spoilt by one of Albarn’s poorest vocal performances, at his whining worst.
a fairly boring departure from Gorillaz
Oh boy! It looks like it’s going to be lazy, bland rock and from the description including Damon Albarn of Gorillaz fame, I don’t have high hopes for this. 2007 also tends to be the kiss of death. I can’t believe people will one day be nostalgic for that time. I will have to tell my children that I grew up in the most boring time in human history. I mean not much was going on in the 800s or whatever, but at least you don’t have the lamest bards of that time pressed to tape for all eternity. Liek if ur still listening to Parnellio of House Dagon in 934🔥. The Northern reach tavern set still gets regular rotation. History Song - YES! Reggae influence!!! 80s Life - YES! Doo Wop Coldplay! Northern Whale - I like whales. They’re cool. Imagine them just rolling around in the oceans. The size of em. Oceans are crazy to think about. Kingdom of Doom - Another cool song title. That’s great! Herculean - This track describes my feat of listening to this garbage list for almost a year. SUB 2.5 average rating. That will dip further today. Behind the Sun - The infinity of black unknown. Life in its own right disqualified by the feeble minds of man. What we describe, we acknowledge. What evades our description exists entirely outside the reaching arm of humanity. Comprehension means we must acknowledge we are the infinitesimal in an infinite system beyond our grasp. The Bunting Song - Dis song sucks. Nature Springs - Oh man! Another banger!! This guy can’t miss! A Soldier’s Tale - STIIIIIIIIIRIKE 3. Oh no he didn’t even swing at that. Yeah bat didn’t leave the shoulders, Jim. Not Damon’s day. Three Changes - ONE cool moment on this record and it’s still vaguely reggae influenced. The latter section of this track is really the only passage I’ve been moderately alert for. Green Fields - I can imagine the euphoria of the afterlife. I am gazing at the fields of infinite bliss through teary eyes. We’re meeting the end. The Good, The Bad And The Queen - even the rare triplicate title can’t awake me from the coma induced by this disappointing slog. Man that sucked. Just the most boring, dull wallpaper sounding nothing rock I’ve heard in a bit. This sounds like the music from the rock band they invent for a TV show. Like an episode of CSI: Miami where The guitarist dies or something. I’ve had some fun listening to Gorillaz hits, but I’ve had more fun watching gorillas at the zoo. They’re just so human like!! Unlike this album which sounds like it was made by one of those bands that are entirely AI that the ghouls in the music industry create to sell the concept of losing our humanity for the profit of like 15 dudes. Ugh. Get this out of my face. 0.5 HIGHLIGHTS: All barn, no joy.
Leave it to Damon to make incredibly boring shit I can't even try to care about. Only reason why Gorillaz are occasionally good is because of outside influence from artists they collaborate with, this man is just terrible.
This is really not very good, and I’m feeling a bit resentful for the listen. Is the author fucking with us? I got excited for a sec, thinking we might get music from the great Ennio Morricone. Instead? Bahh! Yes, I’m bitter.
Happy to listen to every Gallagher Bros. solo project before ever hearing this again.
This was boring until it turned annoying.
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
Yet another datapoint that 1001 is too many 💤💤 This sounds like average 90’s music, and that’s not a hoot take. I saw the genre was alternative, and I got really excited. It was a fairly short album, so there’s that.
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.
