Dec 25, 2020Wow
The moment you hear the song machine theme till the ending of momentary bliss you dive into the world of new Gorillaz yet so familiar. Production, distinctive sound of each element return you to the glory days of Demon days and Plastic beach. Brilliant, modern, true Gorillaz album! Desole, Aries for me stand alongside Feel good, dare, Empire ants. -

Oct 23, 2020One of the albums of the year. Every song is amazing but Valley of the Pagans, Aries, The Lost Chore and Pacman are a level above the other ones. Damon Albarn is a genius!

Oct 26, 2020'Song Machine' is a fun album. 'Plastic Beach' remains, for me, as their best effort, but the joy of putting up this project can be heard all over it. Beck, St. Vincent, and Peter Hook bring new elements to the table. There are, of course, some lethargic moments, but overall this a solid album, and I'm really enjoying it.

Apr 15, 2021A very exciting Gorillaz album, which shows that Damon Albarn continues to be a real visionary. Truly their greatest effort since Plastic Beach.

Oct 23, 2020Even though initially thought to being single episodes without necessarily planned as a album, the sequence of songs flows very well. Damon Albarn did one more great job!

Nov 8, 2020Song Machine: Season One is the best album that Gorillaz has made in quite a while. My favourite tracks are: "The Pink Phantom", "Pac-Man", "Aries", "The Valley of the Pagans" and "Momentary Bliss".
Super excited for Season Two! -

Oct 30, 2020Song machine has proven that Gorillaz are musically dynamic that they have ever been before. This album was a gift to music. Each song is cleverly written and flow smoothly into the next. I would highly recommend listening to this album

Oct 28, 2020Best album since Plastic Beach, the quality of the sounds and the lyrics are amazing plus the animation videos keeps the themathic of a virtual band. Interesting and nice developed project.

Nov 9, 2020One of the best albums Gorillaz has made in quite some time, the production in this is amazing. I loved the different styles mixed in this album, each track had a different main style, but they all end up together in a incredible way. Great album, 9/10.

Mar 11, 2021Gorillaz. classic sound, the right amount of features in this project and a few songs with very unlikely to work together artists like that elton john joint. some misses but thats a given. Desole is the track for me. good album, good time.

Oct 30, 2020In an era that’s become too reliant on guest features and scene-stealing cameos, here the delicately-honed collaborative approach seems to bypass any kowtowing to ego. There’s an at-ease alchemy at work. That all stems from Albarn, who doesn’t crop up when he isn’t needed.
-
Oct 29, 2020Strange Timez doesn’t break a whole lot of new ground, but it’s Damon Albarn’s strongest release since Plastic Beach and an infectious celebration of the unique legacy of Gorillaz.

MojoOct 28, 2020The most cohesive Gorillaz album since Demon Days 15 years ago. [Dec 2020, p.81]
