Everyday Robots (studio album) by Damon Albarn

It's pleasant, but nothing special. My highlights are Mr Tembo, Lonely Press Play and Everyday Robots.

Mai avrei pensato che un disco solista del cantante dei Blur potesse piacermi fino a questo punto, ma in effetti non ricordo un disco dei Blur così intenso, così ben curato ed allo stesso tempo non appesantito da soluzioni troppo ricercate.

I think it's good, not brilliant nor a masterpice, just good. Some good and some ok tracks.

The highlight of the album, "Mr Tembo", is the only source of joy and is the saving grace of this lifeless and depressing album. Albarn tackles loneliness in the world of 21st century technology, but his viewpoint sounds a bit stale and regressive.

People can still play video games and watch TV all day whilst displaying genuine emotions, which is a simple point that Albarn doesn't appear to understand. He also completely ignores all the good that technology, such as the internet, has done. Furthermore, artists like Radiohead have tackled similar themes in albums like "OK Computer" with far more nuance and depth over 15 years before "Everyday Robots" was released.

It has its good moments and is consistently pretty, but is ultimately too empty and bleak to even bother visiting again.

Brilliant. So glad Damon made this.

Ilove the brooding male vocalists ala Morissey & Brain Ferry. Such drama MEZ

I take back what I said before - now I think this is a lovely album. But for sure it's apparent that it's not even close to on the same level as any Blur or Gorillaz album (potentially better than Leisure or The Fall though). You can definitely tell the instrumentation and song writing isn't what you'd expect because, let's be honest, Damon does better when he's around musicians he's known for a long time.

great album, you and me is outstanding
