Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2017 | #17: Gorillaz’ ‘Humanz’

December 5, 2017 Albumism Staff

#17
Gorillaz | Humanz
Parlophone/Warner Bros. | Amazon | iTunes

According to Quentin Harrison: “Gorillaz had come of age in the 2000s, a decade known for its social and political upheaval. Their grade of alternative pop had always played as an ideal dystopian soundtrack then. Their new LP is right on time in 2017 to do the dance apocalyptic, returning Gorillaz to the cultural boil of Demon Days (2005). Humanz mixes a variety of dance and urban phonics into a tasty gestalt, its aural flavors shifting from song to song....Humanz is a filling work, but it doesn't leave its participants and listeners feeling stuffed. Instead, it keeps us wanting more of its humorous, prudent, and post-modern pop hijinks. You know, musical anarchy and hedonism, what Gorillaz do best in times of need.”
