#25
Gorillaz
| The Now Now
Parlophone/Warner Bros.

According to Justin Chadwick: “A noticeably less expansive and ambitiously orchestrated affair than its precursor, 2017’s guest-heavy Humanz, Damon Albarn and crew’s sixth studio album still bangs with the best of ‘em. In fact, the relative dearth of outside collaborators (only George Benson, Snoop Dogg and Jamie Principle appear here) make this a more intrinsically Gorillaz-driven song set than preceding efforts. And as expected, it sounds divine.”
