    yeah...with that line up, I couldn't resist. They kinda remind me of radiohead for some reason

    Kingdom of Doom was in the charts here, quite catchy. Not heard the album yet. Hated Gorillaz, loved Blur, i may give it a go
    I like their name :)

    Im bored of Albarn's voice these days. Like amentvedder, i liked blur but not the gorillaz.
    Is it just me or does the guitar work 'history song' sound like a lazy version of RHCP's 'road trippin'?

    Listened to a few songs but didnt really grab me.

    I bought the album three days ago, and it's really great.
    I like Albarn's voice. This album is a good mix between Blur and Gorillaz.
    Some very good melodies that can't go out of my mind.

    I haven't listened to the album yet but I do have tickets to see them in Toronto March 25th. I'm a big Clash fan plus I think the drummer is from Fela Kuti.

    I kinda have to agree. While I didn't absolutly hate it, it just didn't scream "listen to me again."
