Gorillaz release new album... It has been four years now since we first heard "Clint Eastwood". Are the Gorillaz stilll able to entertain with their cartoon fascade, or was it just a passe fad that was not meant to last? Personally, I think this new album, all good in it's own right, does not compare to their self titled album "Gorillaz". Their producer who was responsible for the original formation has been replaced on this album by Danger Mouse, who you may remember from the Jay-Z Black Album mixed with he Beatles White Album fiasco; you know the Grey Album that you own, but it's technically illegal? I feel Dan the Automator brought a much purerhip-hop element to the group while Danger Mouse lives in layered synths and electronic effects. Don't get m wrong, this album is still extremely good, but it doesn't stack up to the flowing lyrical genious of Del the Funky Homeosapien rhyming over the Automator's beats.
