I arranged them in order of how much I like them. I really like Ascension. I’m a huge Blur/Damon Albarn fan, but I’ve never been as big on Gorillaz. I like them insofar as they’re just Albarn solo albums with guests, but I prefer something like Every Day Robots or The Good, the Bad and the Queen , still, having a new Gorillaz album makes me very happy, and Vince Staple’s rap on Ascension is great.

Bonus: my absolute favorite Albarn song that has never had a wide release:

I think Some Kind of Nature with Lou Reed ruined Gorillaz for me, because nothing can top that.

As an aside, for years I used to think “that Satell-ooooooooo on Satellite of Love sounds so much like Bowie” then I actually looked it up and saw that he produced Transformer and my mind was BLOWN.

Bowie’s cover of I’m Waiting for My Man is adorable. Even though he eventually moved to New York and lived there, he clearly didn’t get the lyric “Hey white boy, what you doing uptown?” and always sang it as “Hey white boy, what you doing in town?” Having lived and bought drugs uptown, I always thought that was adorable. I wonder what he thought 1-2-5 meant.

1. Saturnz Barz

2. Ascension

3. Andromeda. Bowie is safe and sound in Andromeda.

4. We Got the Power. May grow on me, but I doubt it. At least it’s short.

Was hoping for a light/fun album along the lines of Demon Days. Didn’t find. That’s some dark shit.

It’s definitely a product of its time. Although, I think the argument could also be made that Demon Days was also a product of its time
