Notes:
--20201021--
First listen. Album with three bonus tracks.*
I'm pretty sure I've sat down and rated this album once a long time ago. It would be a matter of finding my notes.
Hmm. Listening to "Clint Eastwood," I'm pretty sure I like "Tomorrow Comes Today." With that being said, I like both merely based on the feel. From what I can recall, I've never sat down and taken a deep look at the lyrics.
While the song isn't bad, it feels out of place on this album ("Latin Simone (Que Pasa Contigo)")
Even though they are both rated a "1," I like "Starshine" more than "Slow Country."

4: "Tomorrow Comes Today";
3: "Clint Eastwood";
2: "Man Research (Clapper)"; "19-2000"; "M1 A1"; "Left Hand Suzuki Method"; "Clint Eastwood" (Ed Case Refix)
1: "5/4"; "Punk"; "Double Bass"; "Rock the House"; "Starshine"; "Slow Country";
0: "Re-Hash"; "Sound Check (Gravity)"; "Latin Simone (Que Pasa Contigo)"; "Dracula";

Summary:
Not too long ago, I relistened to Sublime and the experience was underwhelming. In contrast, I was quite happy today with my relistening experience of Gorillaz. With that being said, I would dock some points off the overall album experience due to "Latin Simone" which sticks out like a sore thumb.

Overall Rating: 4.2/5
Favorite Song: "Tomorrow Comes Today"

*For some reason the Spotify version of this album doesn't have "19-2000 (Soulchild Remix)."
