Review on Merrie Land Good Bad Queen by Aaron Gonzalez

I was very disappointed with this (once listened and gifted to a friend). I really like everything Damon Albarn does, but it's a far cry from the greatness that was on the first album. A lot of his recent work comes across as too eccentric/artsy. dreamy murmur. Background music/mood for those who like to mope. It lacks uniqueness and soul. even the rejection of the first album. You used to be able to feel the character of the staff while it just seems flat. boring.
