Gorillaz - The Now Now

Score: 7.4 

The Now Now, the latest release from the British animated band Gorillaz, is a huge step forward compared to their previous record. It is a compilation of relatively uplifting synth-pop songs that nonetheless carry a tremendous heavy weight of melancholy and longing. The album takes off when it allows itself to be more varied, instrumentally complete and dance-floor oriented, but the union between these parts and the slower ones comes out as a mixbag. This is the closest we can get to an acoustic version of the band, and it's not that bad after all.
