FYI, I can hear the new podcast on your site but not on iTunes…?

There is little about this album to criticize. Your main objection seems to be there’s no hit single? Perhaps you should just stick to business talk and leave the music alone. Please listen to the album more than once if you wish to comprehend its value.

Thanks for the feedback.

@The Samus – Please try again. I know sometimes iTunes is a little flaky with showing new episodes… If it’s still not there for you, please try listening through the player on this page.

@GorillazFan – We’ll have to agree to disagree on Plastic Beach. My issues with it, beyond the lack of a proper mega-tune (which is what I expect from a Gorillaz album) is the overall narrative, the structure. Without changing much on the surface, something fundamental seems to have shifted below decks — this album just isn’t as fun to listen to as the previous ones.
