# I didn't as a single, but in its place on the album its fucking marvellous
really well rounded album, Damon's work on the Monkey opera has helped his soundtracking no end

# Oooo that's good
And yeah, the album is quite good - listened to it from the Guardian's site :

# Oh man, you went over the lines
Gorgeous stuff

is the album actually any good then? I saw a tracklist and lots of "xxxxx (ft. xxxx)".

I try and avoid albums with open-bracket-feat-'name'-close-bracket track names.

edit: I am listening to it now. Hmm. 'trestin'.

# I enjoyed it.
Also, for an ace "feat." album, see Kaos: Anti Acoustic Warfare by Adam F. Featured albums can be ace ;)

# i'm about a quarter of the way through
and so far it's bad. and not a 80s slang bad is good way. boring hip hop over world music.

shame. i was crazy into gorillaz back in 2001

# Personal preference I guess.
I must admit, there were only three or four songs I liked on their debut album.

# i think the best album was the second one, great smooth, doom laden tracks. This one is very bitty.
and to be honest i haven't heard a song i like yet. (i'm at stylo now)
(, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 15:15, archived)
# I preferred Demon Days to the debut also
More melodic for old fogies like me. Much like the newest one - lots of 80's vocoder action and rapping to make me feel like I'm young and hip again, rather than almost being 40 and bald.

# Aye, it was their best.
This could well be their best given time though.

# i love the 3d versions of the gorillaz in the new video
slightly iffy pacing in the video tho. lets pause on Bruce Willis for a loooooooooooooong time just so we all know it's him. smile for the camera bruce!

# excellent draw as usual mr toast.

# Wow, lovely stuff Toastie!
The Album is great - I would purchase it on iTunes, but due to their cuntish and frankly ridiculous policy of not allowing you to use your purchased music freely, I shall aquire it elsewhere.
(, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 15:03, archived)
# oo - I thought iTunes had abandoned DRM now?
(, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 15:09, archived)
# Really?
Is this a new thing? The last music I bought from iTunes was in December 2009 and last night while restoring my iPod (AGAIN, YOU APPLE FUCKERS) I had to "authorise" my computer to play the music I had paid for. Cunts.

# hmm, I dunno then
I read they'd stopped doing protected AAC (.m4p) in April last year and they just do .m4a now

# hmm, ok , cheers - will investigate further! :)

# They introduced "iTunes Plus",
which were more expensive, better quality, DRM-free tracks.
Most tracks are Plus now.

It's still not as good as, say, 7Digital, who often offer FLAC (lossless) and MP3/AAC, with the option to re-download tracks if you manage to lose them somehow.

Will take a look. Thanks!
