Review

Rolling Stone (p.72) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he eclectic elements combine for dark, muted balladry a la Syd Barrett or the Beatles' White Album, with a touch of dub."
Spin (p.92) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[Albarn's] told a powerful tale of darkness endured and hope regained, outshining almost everything he's done before."
Q (p.94) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Green Fields'...is one of the loveliest moments in the Albarn canon. He effortlessly links the personal and political while giving the heartstrings a nudge."
Uncut (p.68) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The energy, urgency and ambition are admirable....Albarn's feel for the secret heart of pop remains thankfully intact."
Vibe (p.128) - "GOOD is comparable in spirit to the everything-is-in-play feel of Clash albums like SANDINISTA!"
Q (Magazine) (p.88) - Ranked #05 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2007" -- "[A] revelation, as tracks such as 'Herculean' and 'Green Fields' took listeners on a haunting, dub-tinged journey..."

Title Note

The Good, The Bad & The Queen: Damon Albarn (vocals, keyboards); Simon Tong (guitar); Paul Simonon (bass guitar, background vocals); Tony Allen (drums).

Additional personnel include: Danger Mouse (synthesizer, percussion).

Expectations run supremely high for a group like The Good, The Bad & The Queen. In addition to being Damon Albarn's first project since the Gorillaz, the GB&Q are also quite the super group, with Clash bassist Paul Simonon, Verve guitarist Simon Tong, and legendary drummer Tony Allen--the man who put the beat in Afrobeat--rounding out the line-up. Adding to this stellar cast is producer/DJ Danger Mouse, who mans the boards and twists the knobs.

The group's 2007 self-titled debut is supremely well-crafted, featuring deeply layered electronic textures that recall the Gorillaz at their most atmospheric and warp the propulsive piano and guitar lines in a playfully foreboding manner. And while Allen doesn't exactly open up the way fans of his work with Fela Kuti might hope, he expertly anchors the whole affair, gently shifting the rhythms and pacing of the tracks without disrupting Albarn's expansive, slightly noir-ish new approach to Britpop.
