I understand that this is just a fun project and to draw attention to newer/unknown artists and collabrate with some of their musical friends. I’ve been a fan for a good time, but this is not their strongest piece of work. I think she's really matured as an artist recently and is ready for a major collaboration like that, to go through the pop artist rite of passage and appear on a Gorillaz song! :) … Full Review » I am absolutely GIDDY! Here's hoping Season Two brings us a collaboration with Billie Eilish. 10 out of 5 stars! I can NOT wait for Season Two, which Albarn has already confirmed is in the works. Could not recommend that you buy this more, CAN NOT overstate the MASSIVE level of quality to be found on this beautiful album. I GUARANTEE that I'll be listening to this when I'm 100 years old if I make it that far, and so will all the other fans. This is ESSENTIAL listening and an INSTANT classic. I *ABSOLUTELY* recommended buying this album, ESPECIALLY if you're a fan of Gorillaz in ANY capacity. Most likely EVERY Gorillaz fan will love the whole thing or at least MOST of it, but even if one doesn't I *GUARANTEE* that at least ONE song will do it to 'em. This has something for EVERYONE and EVERY type of Gorillaz fan will have at least ONE song that they LOVE off this, I guarantee. Not only have we returned to the glory days of Gorillaz, Demon Days, and Plastic Beach, we have SURPASSED them imo. Damon Albarn is back! Put The Fall, Humanz, and The Now Now in the past. But "Song Machine, season one: Strange Timez"? Hell no. This is one of those rare treasures where LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE SONG IS AN ABSOLUTE *BANGER*! Not a dud among them! Not a single song that I *EVER* felt like skipping, which basically NO other album has achieved with me. This isn't to say the remaining tracks aren't as good. It's got it all, incredibly succinct & pointed lyrics, a funky groove, tempo & beat you can't not dance to, wonderful instrumentation and vocals all around, and an AMAZING choice in artist collaboration. The true version of the song somehow BLOWS THAT DEMO AWAY. I couldn't get enough of it when it leaked, and it turns out the rumors were true - what leaked was merely a demo. Possibly the best song on the album - indeed, maybe even the best song in their entire CATALOGUE now - is hands down "The Valley of the Pagans" feat.
After listening to the album on Spotify, with my Deluxe CD due in the mail very soon, along with my 4 Song Machine collector's cassette tapes, I am CONVINCED of this. Those crazy bastards finally usurped Demon Days and ushered in a new GOLDEN AGE of Gorillaz music. Sure enough, on 22 October, 2020 CE 5:00.00pm PST (or 22 October, 2020 CE 12:00.00am GST), they finally friggin DID IT. FAR AND AWAY MY FAVOURITE GORILLAZ ALBUM OF *ALL TIME*! All throughout the Song Machine release cycle, I wondered to myself if after 3 FAR AND AWAY MY FAVOURITE GORILLAZ ALBUM OF *ALL TIME*! All throughout the Song Machine release cycle, I wondered to myself if after 3 somewhat lackluster albums was Gorillaz about to put out an album that would usurp Demon Days in my view.
