Songs like the aforementioned pair and the aching "Herculean" are more universal in their expression of dissatisfaction, and more affecting for it. The musical tone isn't quite as monolithic, with flavorings -- like the tinker-toy piano that cleaves the appropriately titled " '80s Song" -- used to leaven the mood at regular intervals. That responsibility is often left to drummer Tony Allen, an Afrobeat veteran who's played with artists like Fela Kuti; Allen manages to hit both head and hips with the skittering rhythms he applies to pieces like "History Song." While it's not likely to spawn a mainstream following on the level of, say "Feel Good Inc," the best-known cut from Albarn's Gorillaz, The Good, the Bad & the Queen is sure to make listeners feel -- and think -- on many levels.
Condition: NEW! Slashed case.
