Damon Albarn's newest project The Good, The Bad, & The Queen has been one of the most anticipated bands over the past year. Needless to say, the band delievers on every expectation. Albarn, who was the frontman for the Blur as well as the creator and lead singer for the musical sensation of the Gorillaz, continues to show has talents and musical range with this new band.
The Good, the Bad, & The Queen's debut, self titled album provides a more mellow tone the underground indie crowd can certainly appreciate. Their first single "Heculean" combines electronic club beats with eerie background vocals and is the perfect song to get anyone hooked on this album. The song "80's Life" has Albarn displays his full range while hooking you with it's nostalgic lyrics. Other songs include "Nothern Whale", "Three Changes", and "Kingdom of Doom" which the band has released the first music video for.
Although this album certainly has a different tone than Albarn's previous dance beats found in the Gorillaz, it is certainly a nice change and we can only hope for more albums to come.
