Feb 28, 2023A minor effort in the Gorillaz canon. Feels redundant most of the time. Apart from some the singles (like "Skinny Ape" and "Silent Running", "Oil" also is kind of interesting. It hurts me to say this, but maybe it's time for Damon Albarn to put to sleep this project for a long time again.

May 24, 2023Ugh. It isn't even that bad. It's just that I know they can do better, because I've seen it. I miss my Demon Days and Plastic Beach, cause this isn't it. Love the Bad Bunny song though, that was sick.

Mar 2, 2023Cracker Island’s forgettable, milquetoast assembly line of tracks – though crisply and professionally engineered – proves that having it all shouldn’t always mean using it all.

Mar 2, 2023Gorillaz was once a creative outlet that allowed Albarn to explore new territories. But Cracker Island suggests that the concept has grown stale. Those lovable animated creatures feel like they’re on an island of their own, isolated and untethered to what’s actually been churning the project forward all along.

Feb 27, 2023Balancing bright, colorful electro-pop with a slight air of melancholy is hardly a new trick for Albarn yet there's a clean, efficient energy propelling Cracker Island that gives the album a fresh pulse.
