Reply to comment by Fooking-Degenerate in Is it just me or did Gorillaz give up long ago? by Fooking-Degenerate

Yeah good examples of artist making good music after their peak. I’d still say they did their best stuff earlier in their career though. ‘Discovery’ and ‘Lift your skinny firsts…’ are better in my opinion. I can’t comment on ‘Fudge’ though as I’m not familiar.

"Discovery" and "Storm" were more groundbreaking at the time, they defined their genre for a decade, but imho the latter albums shows more complexity and growth as artists, both for Daft Punk and Godspeed. Or maybe I'm liking them more because they have a more contemporary sound... probably both imho

I feel like it is a matter of perspective and what one likes. I personally like the last Daft Punk album most, but I'm not well versed in that kind of music, and I don't know that I'd argue it is better (but it could be).

Brian Jonestown Massacre really haven't been much different than your argument about Gorillaz. Of course, like any act that's been around there will still be great songs, but the albums have hardly been that consistent. Aside from the recent album, which is a bit better than other recent releases, I feel like the past 10 years have been up and down. And, I guess that's how I feel about a lot of bands that have been around for over a couple of decades.

Doesn't mean Albarn won't make another great album with someone, just means I don't expect them to all be great.
