2026 Reviews: Project: #019 Title: The Mountain Artist: Gorillaz Tagline: Gorillaz makes music that comes straight from the heart, with it's fully emotional yet hopeful atmosphere. Once again like I have said in only certain few reviews, this album feels like one of few albums this year to genuinely feel like music, like it has a heart, and has that soul, actually inspiring music. Production feels electric and precise, yet also spiritual and ethereal. The album manages to get the "after-life" and "mourning" persona sonically well, and matches it exactlly as it should be. Everything fits and sits perfectly well with each other, and the production actually sounds incredible and perfectly full, not overdone, not underdone. Also the accessibility to a wide audience, making it enjoyable to everyone, and it even almost being fully clean (with the exception of ONE line from Proof). There may be some occasional (happened like 2-3 times throughout the album, not often) production or hooks that clash with the other elements in the same song, but other than that, I have no huge issues at all. FAVOURITES: The Empty Dream Machine, Damascus, Orange County LEAST FAVOURITES: Delirium, The God of Lying Simplified rating: 9/10
