I have to say I can not understand how you can give this album only 1 star with the best will, because it is musically very demanding! Sure, it does not have the cool factor and the Hiphop its predecessor, but it's more tender and softer and therein lies the strength! For fans of Blur "Think Tank" or "13", it could be quite appealing. While listening to the first time I thought it is a elektoniklastige, pleasant Chillout music. I have to say, I do not hear so much electronic music, neither House nor other techno, but I think this album has a good balance found and you can see the great handwriting of Damon Albarn immediately! When 2 hear time I thought WOW, the melodies and the Beat suck a right to, without losing their lightness and relaxation and it is each time to hear better. The album may not be so offensive to go into the ear, like other Gorillaz albums, but that's my opinion, the strength of this album the first time around. Like most works by Damon Albarn (Blur 13, Think Tank, Mali Music, Dr Dee or The Good The Bad and The Queen), the music is not as easy knit that one immediately sees the whole song and gets a catchy tune. You have to devote time to the songs and add them aware. For me The case has become a great album, which his predecessors inferior to anything, but consistently continuing the development of the Gorillaz and fades in rhythmic, chill, final rest.
