Some bands started at downhill and kept on rolling.
Yes, they quit whilst their ahead.
With each new album, Gorillaz have redefined their sound and their image (and by "they" of course I mean Albarn and Hewlett). "Demon Days" has by far been their crowning achievement, a massive evolution from 2001's comparably quaint and elementary "Gorillaz." "Plastic Beach" was another step in a new direction, channeling the high-seas and welcoming aboard many, many more artist collaborations while retaining the original Gorillaz sound and keeping with the lamentation for "O Green World" theme that cropped up in "Demon Days." "Plastic Beach" disappointed initially—I still don't care for some of the more aesthetically challenged, rap-heavy tracks, like Snoop Dogg's—but it still has a lot to offer: "Superfast Jellyfish," "Empire Ants," Some Kind of Nature," "Melancholy Hill." Likewise, "The Fall" was a rather scattered in-betweener effort, banged out by Albarn on the quick while touring. The overall quality reflects the amount of time that went in, and "The Fall" wisely was not promoted as "THE NEW GORILLAZ ALBUM" but rather something to fill the time until the next one. All that said, "Revolving Doors" stands with the very best of "Demon Days" or any of Gorillaz' other albums. And along the way, one-offs like "Hong Kong" have only further cemented their status as the leading animated musicians still working within the zombie hip hop dark pop lo-fi thriller sub-genre today.
Do I like the four songs they debuted today? Frankly, I do not. But I understand Albarn is going for a completely new vibe, a whole new aesthetic, and that this latest effort will be its own unique concept and evolution in the Gorillaz sound: a "party, club" album for dark times. I'm greatly looking forward to experiencing the album as a whole and hopefully discovering some new Gorillaz gems along the way. (The first single off "Plastic Beach," "Stylo," wasn't my favorite track off that album either.)
Of particular note for Bond fans, Grace Jones is featured on one of the songs here and Carly Simon appears in a track on the deluxe album. Coincidence? Cue Rogerian eyebrow lift...
Now I am older and wiser still, and realise that I was right all along. Screw " authority". Stop interfering with other people, goddamn nazis.

There's a scene like that in The International. When faced with a conundrum, the villain asks his son (who he is playing chess with at the time) for an answer.
"Cassian, what does one do when there's no way out of a situation?" he asks
"If there's no way out......the best thing is to find a way further in." his son replys.
A great quote from the same film, delivered charismatically by the always superb Armin Mueller-Stahl (who should have been in a Bond film):
"Sometimes a man can meet his destiny on the road he took to avoid it."
We only have to win one game in regulation!
The Leafs can never do anything the easy way!
In the end, they weren't supposed to make the playoffs this year, @Last_Rat; this is the second year of the rebuild, so this season has already been all gravy.
The kids on the team (seven rookies) accelerated at a pace no one predicted.
Gotta think big picture!
By the way, how is Reimer doing as goalie?
And thanks for the support-- the entire city will be on edge!!
I think Torts makes for a great coach, don't get me wrong, but I have to develop a bit of friendly hatred for the Blue Jackets since they're the first team that stands between my boys and the Stanley Cup for the second year in a row. They're definitely playing well this season, that can't be denied!
Well I'm a fan of torts.
@creasy and @dragonpol: who are your teams?
