 We hate to admit it but Damon Albarn is a bit of a genius. In the time it has taken Axl Rose to write one album Albarn has become an icon with Blur, a pioneer with Gorillaz and now formed a band with a member of The Clash with The Good, The Bad & The Queen - not bad going really. Any band featuring Paul Simonon should by rights be brilliant and add producer of the moment Danger Mouse and you have a recipe designed in super band heaven. Perhaps more of an experiment than a full on side project The Good, The Bad & The Queen's debut ‘Herculean’ is an electronica tinged walk down a quiet back lane on a Sunday afternoon, blissful harmony. Damn him he has done it again!

  • Have to agree. There is no end to his talent. Saw them at Aylesbury, it was awsome. Paul is such a performer. I cant find anything to say against this album. It is just inspirational, and I cant get the songs and melodies out of my head, especially if i wake up in the night. Damon is on an absolute roll, and just gets better as he gets older. So original, the best!
