In addition to being DAMON ALBARN's first project since the GORILLAZ, the GB\u0026amp;Q are also quite the super group, with CLASH bassist PAUL SIMONON, VERVE guitarist SIMON TONG, and legendary drummer TONY ALLEN--the man who put the beat in Afrobeat--rounding out the line-up. Adding to this stellar cast is producer\/DJ DANGER MOUSE, who mans the boards and twists the knobs. The group's 2007 self-titled debut is supremely well-crafted, featuring deeply layered electronic textures that recall the GORILLAZ at their most atmospheric and warp the propulsive piano and guitar lines in a playfully foreboding manner. And while ALLEN doesn't exactly open up the way fans of his work with FELA KUTI might hope, he expertly anchors the whole affair, gently shifting the rhythms and pacing of the tracks without disrupting ALBARN's expansive, slightly noir-ish new approach to Britpop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eHistory Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e80's Life  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNorthern Whale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eKingdom Of Doom  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eHerculean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eBehind The Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Bunting Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNature Springs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eA Soldier's Tale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eThree Changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eGreen Fields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Good, The Bad \u0026amp; The Queen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44250189627507,"sku":null,"price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/91QRMuitZpL._SL1500.jpg?v=1769276893","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/the-good-the-bad-the-queen-the-good-the-bad-the-queen","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
