one and only album by these guys, however all three main members did play together again on the next two Gorillaz albums....
a conceptual album about modern life in 2006/07 London, thus the title "the good the bad and the queen"....
the songs,musically, are very sparse in nature and theres no harmonies/back up vocals anywhere....
just simple music with vocals....
ive just realised that Damon's vocals have a distinct Ray Davies quality about them in his vocal tones...
this os one of those albums that you either really like or dislike with a passion, theres no inbeteeen here, infact, it took me
several years to appreciate this one and ive been a big fan of Damon Albarn since his Britpop days with Blur...
and like him or loathe him, youve got to give him credit for always doing somethin unexpected instead of staying in his comfort zone
of writing and performing the so-called "three minute pop song"....

I LIKE THIS ALBUM
