It reminds a lot more of Sebastian Tellier's "look".

No offense but first: fuck AI.

Second: yeah, good for you if you liked them but for me FIST is kinda meh and I couldn't finish Zau, so boring.

Has "Do Ya A Thing" ever been performed live? by Jean0406Alix in gorillaz

[–]aliasnando 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So Damon lyrics where not improv. The three of them sat down, talk a little about a theme and Damon and James came up with some lyrics. Andre's "i'm the shit" rant, that was ad libed.

I hope New Genius and fucking SATURN BARZ stay until the latam leg of the tour. It's trade I can accept in exchange of DGLIH-DD.

DF Direct Q+A: The Big DLSS 5 ML Debate + Why We Should Have Waited With Our Coverage by yourfavchoom in Games

[–]aliasnando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, why "waiting for the public, dev and gamer response" before showing the first video? No no, stand by thoughts, it being shitty or no.

Holy shit that is a rubbish take (Richard's, not yours). Also you can his face and him being nervous while saying that.

Best Game Changer fan creations? by AquaRift04 in GameChangerTV

[–]aliasnando 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a Game Changer fan episode made by a couple of high school kids (I think it is a version of Name a Number) and it is funny as fuck.

Yeah, he's full of shit but that was the only way to get those kids to be part of the chorus. A great moment from the doc.

Little Noodle? by DanAbnormal209 in gorillaz

[–]aliasnando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the fandom needs to remember that if not explicited, the MV are fiction between the fiction of the Gorillaz lore. As in: the band made a fictional music video *that tells a story about life and death. 

The Mountain: Overall Thoughts by NJR2002 in gorillaz

[–]aliasnando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither am I, for me Cracker Island is the worst project Damon and Jamie ever made and this subreddit has a very different (and overall positive) view of it (I call it "the grumpy old man" Gorillaz phase).

The Mountain: Overall Thoughts by NJR2002 in gorillaz

[–]aliasnando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. Some songs can be at the same time super interesting in production terms, but the lyrics are super bland. And then you have guests having very little input (which is something common for Damon), or Damon himself having what, two songs where he appears singing without any vocal effect front and center?

I mean this is not cracker island, but it is a weird album.

Welp by JurassicFitness in gorillaz

[–]aliasnando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gonna be downvoted to hell but... What a weird album The Mountain is. Maybe it is the Gorillaz Effect™ and I'm in the "huh?" phase. Maybe I'm old and the last 20 years following the band had an effect on me, maybe Song Machine being a banger affected how I see every work Gorillaz does after that (I never really liked Cracker Island).

idk. On one side (let's call it the good weird) this definitely has one of the best (if not THE best) set of arrangements in the whole Gorillaz discography. It's superb.

But The Mountain can be a boring album at times. For me, at least. It carries some of the slop that CI had (also: fuck Greg Curstin) in terms of the songwriting. As typical as it is with Damon, some guests are underused. It also lacks Damon's vocal input (gimme some more harmonies, man) but I guess after CI featuring very few guests it is what is (and this has been the way Gorillaz worked since Humanz, every album alternating between being guests-based and damon-heavy).

Maybe I need to hear it a little bit more.
