-FCM- said:The band's music isn't nearly as thorough as its universe. It's crazy. The autobiographical (but obviously fictional) book is like 250 pages or something? It explains literally everything, I suggest reading the wikipedia, it's pretty interesting. It's like Damon Albarn invented a fake band and part of the deal was he had to make music for it. Except the music is amazing.
StalfrosCC said:I'd say the music is very thorough. It is Damon Albarn from Blur proving that in the Blur vs Oasis decision Britain made the wrong choice. His ability to collaborate with some of the best in the business on their last two albums is probably topped by this Albums collection of appearances by Lou Reed, Bobby Womack, Snoop (yeah, the intro song he does is fantastic lyric poetry) and Mos Def.
This is an album you probably shouldn't miss. For posterity.
