Kids With Guns would be fine if it wasn't the second song on the album coming after an intro and an already-kinda-thin opener, album shoulda started with Dirty Harry and shunted KWG and Green World down to track 7 or thereabouts

So when I first heard Kids With Guns when I was like 13 or so I thought it was the stupidest song I’d ever heard and then one day it just clicked and became my favourite on the album. When I came back around on Gorillaz years and years later I was kind of over it but when I picked the album up on vinyl last year I realized that I love it again lol.

I fully cannot agree I love how Demon Days slowly builds its way up to the big hip-hop singles instead of loading them all at the front. makes it feel like an actual journey and not just some songs slapped together. a lesson this album could learn tbh

Honestly the way this album is assembled they should have just stuck with the “song machine” direction and never tried to write a concept album again

Kids With Guns is debatably my favourite Gorillaz song



yeah I think part of what makes Song Machine work is that it's just a bunch of random one off sessions, it almost accidentally recaptures that slapdash vibe of the older albums, even though those were doing it on purpose

Kids With Guns has got that chorus and outro and is very very tasty

Song Machine still best reunion album. Wonder what a Best of Nu Gorillaz album might look like

5. Pink phantom

6. Aries

7. Saturnz Barz

Hollywood is mostly there from my vague memory of liking it when now now first dropped ngl, would not complain much about killing it in favor of she's my collar

I’ve realised the most aggravating component for me is the drums and percussion

Every production choice on this album is so not it, chief.

Oil is hookless and generic in the exact same way as silent running and new gold and tarantula and baby queen and probably another one I'm forgetting because it's hookless and generic
