A couple of years ago I thought this album didn't really hold up to the "test of time," maybe it was just album burn out. Now listening to this again, and what seemed like fresh ears this album is STILL a banger.

I really liked this album when it came out in the 2000s. However, the hits are still great, the rest of the album is like some weird experiment. I don't know if that has something to do with the Gorillaz world that Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett created, and it's those soundscapes from that world, I don't know but some of it wasn't as neat as I remember.

Couple of good songs, mostly have Jaco on bass. However, this was a tough listen for me, lost a lot of interest once the songs got to be over 5 minutes.
The Beach Boys
4/5
Great Beach Boys album, came at a time where I feel their output, while still good, wasn't at the same level of albums released earlier. Also kind of gives you a bit of a glimpse into the Beach Boys when Brian Wilson wasn't heavily involved with the production.
