Gorillaz - Humanz Review
To say the world, let alone just the music industry has changed dramatically since 2010 is an understatement.
Disney was earning megabucks with films, only it wasn't superheroes and Star Wars, Robbie Williams rejoined Take That to starve off the midlife crisis on mum's everywhere, Suede and Pulp got their bands back together in the fall of Oasis dying the previous year and, linking us back to why you're here in the first place, it was the last time virtual band Gorillaz released not one, not three, but two albums.
In the gap between The Fall and now, Albarn has kept busy, reuniting his original moneymaking band Blur to a surprisingly good return with The Magic Whip, he brought out a sombre solo album which again, was pretty good and, for Gorillaz fans, he got into an argument with Gorillaz' other half Jamie Hewlett and subsequently put the band on hiatus, possibly for keeps.
