That is a stacked lineup of collaborators. I'm most interested in the Mavis Staples, Danny Brown, DRAM, De La Soul and Pusha T collabs.

They're also holding a "Demon Dayz" festival in Margate, Kent.

I should listen to Demon Days on my way home. I used to love that album in 2010 or so. Definitely curious to hear what Danny Brown did with them.

The other three songs they released today:

I am real into "Ascension" and "Andromeda."

[LittleDaniel]

Never been a big Gorillaz fan, but Ascension is real, real good.

[RPS]

I actually dig all 4 tracks, with the worst being Saturnz Barz. But it even is still very good. Ascension is the best of the bunch but I think they are all very good great. 

[VerbalPuke]

I'll check the othe three a bit later, wasn't really feeling the first one.

[LittleDaniel]

The first one was my second favorite of the lot, but honestly I tend to like the Gorillaz most when there's very little Damon on a track and it's pretty much just rappers going in over the different beats.

Speaking of which, I heard a snippet of the Danny Brown song, sounds real nice.

[livid]

I liked all four but yeah, "Ascension" is the best. Vince Staples is so good.

Also, add me to the list that can't wait to hear what Danny Brown does with them because he's the best.

[GoGo Yubari]

I like this one a lot too.

[RPS]

The first average Gorillaz album. Submission is the standard track and it is the most non-Gorillaz song ever.

[Lowerdeck]

Having a track featuring both Pusha T and Mavis Staples is an interesting selection, but it's decent
