What happens when a bunch of talented and already-famous musicians form a band? The Good, The Bad & The Queen and an amazing album.
If there is a band out there that should be rewarded with a prize for exploring the science of music, there would be some tough competition certainly, but they would receive it no less. The mixture of electonica, trip-hop, and indie blends in nicely to give the audience a structured mesh of sounds. Herculean is probably the most sticking example of that mix. “History Song” is more of an indie-rockish Gorillaz themed song.
But then again, The Good, The Bad & The Queen is way more sophisticated than Gorillaz ever were. Over all, the band has gotten mixed reviews. While the NME is in total awe of the band (a little over-the-top perhaps), others find a deja-vu is definitely in play here from Gorillaz and Blur. A more complex deja-vu with sounds that don’t quite make sense to them…yet. In a couple of months, they will be famous. In a couple of years, they will be legends.
