So crazy to think of the longevity of The Gorillaz

This album is going to be ABSOLUTE FIRE if the SINGLES are this good already

2:40 Holy moly, I did NOT expect this at all. Absolutely love it, can't wait to dance to this song being performed live on stage!

This is the perfect mix between a chill, mellow, vibe, and a classic Gorillaz twist! Gorillaz never die!!

Heard this live and couldn't wait for the official release. More Gorillaz is always a treat. ❤

I’m constantly impressed by how easily Gorillaz reinvent themselves 😩😊

Gorillaz really hit that funny feeling between jubilation and crippling depression. Soundtracks for the 21st century.

In my opinion, the best Gorillaz song I heard from this new album, we didn't have a song that talks directly about the characters from the G Sides with 12D3, this song fills me with nostalgia for some reason, it's a very nice detail, I appreciate it :')

Any day that Gorillaz uploads a new song makes it the perfect day ❤️‍🔥😮‍💨

Gorillaz has narrated my life since I was a child and continues to do so til this very moment ❤️‍🔥

Been having a horrible mental health month. Moneys been slim, feeling horrible about my body, car almost broke down, spilt water on my laptop, works been overloading. But this. This just makes me so happy, you guys have always been my comfort band. And to this day I still love you guys so much. This song just made my day a whole lot brighter. Thank you :’)

This song really hits home for me. My Dad passed away last year and the last time I had talked to him I introduced him to Gorillaz and he loved their songs. I heard this song for the first time at the Gorillaz concert in Dallas and cried when I heard the words, “Don’t be sad for me.” “And my intent is to breathe in a new world.” In a way it feels like a farewell from my Dad.

Glad I got to hear this in concert too. This is one of my favourite songs from Gorillaz of recent and that’s a pretty high bar to surpass.

usually its expected to not like every song from an artist, or every song from an album, but god gorillaz has been on a good streak for me, just banger after banger, been awhile since ive heard a song i didnt like.

Es increíble como cada canción de Gorillaz es tan diferente una de la otra, pero todas tienen esa vibra de Gorillaz.

The beginning of this songs is so relaxing

I love how chill it is, the vibes 🤌

New Gold, Baby Queen, and now this...? I need Cracker Island in my hands IMMEDIATELY

Thank you Gorillaz for always giving us the best, you don't know how good it is for me to listen to you in the most difficult moments, I love you Gorillaz

Such a beautiful song. Beautiful as the day I got the honor to be one of the people who listened to it in their concert

This song leaves me with such a melancholy happiness that I can't describe. Everytime I listen to it I want to cry, and yet, it leaves me with a sense of bitersweet joy. Anyone else?

I am unable to describe how fantastic this song is

i finally get to hear this song again!!! absolutely loved it sm at the concert

Maybe it’s just me, but this is really oozing with that early 00s energy

Listening to this at 3 am while slowly sipping an almost flat dr pepper is the best feeling i will ever experience.

These people been performing for over 20 years?!? Massive respect

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO COME OUT this and oil are maybe gonna be the best songs out of this album 🤞

One of the best bands of my childhood with yet another perfect song.

It’s crazy how Skinny Apez manage to create such amazing tracks! They are consistently making great music and that’s hella impressive! I’ll be sure to add Gorilla into my playlist, the song is fascinating!

Yet another absolute BANGER added to the list, what a time to be Gorillaz fan

I’ll say this million and million of times: I am in love with Damon’s voice 🥺 any song where he sings brings me joy. This track is very good, especially in parts where it becomes more energetic hehe

I can already see this as a classic. There is a moment that is perfect to create memories of someone that's no longer in this world. Starts at 3:02. I can only think of a person "don't be sad for me" and then a bunch of memories from them coming one after another 😭💙💙

Saw the premiere of this song at the concert in San Francisco. So glad I can finally listen to it again!

Lyrics Shoot the pool at least try to let it go But nobody knows what they're dealing with here I was called Skinny Ape There will be time and there will be a sign When all the kids who have cancelled time will Take my hand and pull me up again Cheer me up and help me walk again Shoot the pool at least try to let it go But nobody knows what they're dealing with here I got bones, I got jaded legs Not the type that can rearrange around Leaving plastic on a vacant lot Left me high and staring at a robot Don't be sad for me I'm a cartoon G And my intent is to breathe in a new world Don't be sad for me I can balance on the highest tree You can hardly see outlines of me I can disappear, all I am your day In this vacant stage I'm a skinny little ape Don't be sad for me (I'm a skinny little ape) I'm a cartoon G And my intent is to breathe in a new world Don't be sad for me Don't be sad for me I'm a cartoon G And my intent is to breathe in a new world Don't be sad for me I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape But nobody knows what they're falling with for me

I love every song from this album so far

I can't describe what was captured in this song but I desperately want more of it. This is the kind of track that just enhances life.

This song is so sickeningly nostalgic that when it randomly appeared in my playlist, it took me straight back to when I first discovered Gorillaz. I couldn't help but chuckle and smile while listening, it makes me so happy but it so beautiful and melancholic I also got slightly teary eyed. I love this band so much 😭💜

I loved seeing this at the concert! Amazingly amazing

Every song is a masterpiece

This has some punk roots and all the Gorillaz style anyone could ever come to know and love. Damon is a fantastic producer. Love this song.

Cracker Island seems like it's going to be a huge mix of all different Gorillaz styles - This song really makes me feel like it's a long lost brother of The Fall album.

Love seeing a new Gorillaz notification pop up! Loved this song, surprisingly relaxing at first One of the Catchiest Choruses ever…

Omg!! Los Amo Gorillaz Gracias por existir.

THE ELECTRONIC SOUNDS ARE MAKING MY BRAIN GO BRRRRRR AND I LOVE IT

God. How does gorillaz make such heartbreakingly beautiful songs

I love gorillaz so much never fail to keep that feel to their music :)

Random refresh on my subscription page brought me here

Heard this live in September. Been waiting for the release since then, and thank you Gorillaz, it’s beautiful. This song means a lot to me right now

Holy cow, this isn't even three weeks old, but I think it's become my favourite Gorillaz song after years and years and years and years and years of listening to the band.

I love the style in which this is recorded, so different yet so Gorillaz. After so many years they never cease to surprise and make great music. Bravo! ❤️

This song makes me think of speeding down an empty highway in a car with the roof down with my best friends.

It’s nice to not feel alone any more. That’s what this band does, makes you feel…

I hope there's a music video for this, this is easily my favorite song on the album so far

It sounds so good!😮 Edit: I'm actually pretty sick, and this new beat to listen to really boosted my mood.🔥❤️

Siento que es una canción de esas que no te cansas de escuchar

As I got a third of the way through the song, I thought to myself: "This is nice, but it probably needs a lift in energy". So up until halfway through the track I expected a number of moments to mark this increase, but then I gave up trying to predict its appearance. Then the double time came out of nowhere and gave me a very pleasant surprise! Combined with the mention of a new world this made for a happy and valiant song that I'll for sure be listening to again

I swear Damon is making it harder and harder to picture the virtual members playing the songs with their instruments, especially because of the multiple 2D voice tracks, just bring back Noodle's voice smh.

YESSSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS RELEASE SINCE I HEARD IT LIVE. IT'S SO GOOOOD

no idea why it sounds relaxing i love it.

To me, the entirety of Cracker Island so far has been so calming! I love it so muchhhh

took my eleven year old son to his first concert and saw Gorillaz in Seattle... it was an unforgettable night!

NO PUEDES SER !!!!!! 2D CANTA COMO UN ÁNGEL 💫💫💫💫🥰🥰 Es sincero con su musica

Gorillaz nunca decepciona 🤩❤🇧🇷

I love all the features Gorillaz have, don't get me wrong, but I am so glad to see this album has a lot more songs where only Damon/2D is singing 😌

This is my favorite on the new album. Tarantula and Silent Running are close seconds... But something about this feels almost surreal. I love the vibe, it's amazing. I could hear it on repeat for hours and not get bored.

Another one for the "walk to the sunset" playlist

No sé como hacen pero se superan en cada tema... Los amo, desde el 2001 escuchándolos y no fallan... Ganas de escuchar este tema en vivo. Saludos desde Argentina.

Gorillaz haven't quite hit Plastic Beach levels for me since that record came out, but this is certainly heading in the right direction. I will always maintain that Damon is at his best when he isn't collaborating with anybody.

Gorillaz saca una nueva canción y automáticamente mi día se vuelve feliz 🌼🧡

I have been depressed for months but this song put me back on my feet thank you you are the best rock band since 1997

I love this song it's literally a roller coaster

This song talks about how 2D fell around his fans Some feel bad for him, including me. It’s that he is just letting his fans know his feelings and it just makes me tear up for sum reason. Ok but we don’t deserve such good characters, I LOVE 2D AND I ALWAYS WILL

every single has been a song that could have it's own album. this album is gonna be so fire.

Cracker Island fired the shot, New Gold propelled it forward like a railgun. Baby Queen guided it out of the barrel. But this? Oh man... this is the beautiful explosion that comes with it all. This is a very strange metaphor, but man... this song is amazing...

This reminds me of the fall kinda, it just gives nostalgic vibes

Los amo gorillaz!! Todas las canciones de este album han sonado genial👍🥳

Gorillas out here pumping out banger after banger since 1998. I'm amazed how every album can sound completely different while never not feeling like you're listening to Gorillaz. Not too many groups could shift styles that much and still feel consistent.

ive waited so long for the studio cut! amazing!

love it, 24 years ive been blessed with the Gorillaz

I know Damon has been working with synths for years and is a master but holy moly I am always impressed by how catchy and thoughtful the synthetic are

this quickly became my fave song in this album

I got to hear this live when they came to Toronto and omg hearing this again gives me such happiness 🥰🥰 This song feels like I'm able to let go of anything and just vibe despite whatever is happening

Are you kidding...I've been waiting for this song to drop since I heard it at their North American Tour in September. I'M CRYING!!!! SO GREAT!!!! 🥳💜🦍

I saw them preform this song in San Francisco, and it was AMAZING! I’m so excited to hear the rest of Cracker Island, love you Gorillaz!!! ✌️

This is the sound I needed to hear today. It just really wrapped up what I've been feeling into a nice package. Absolutely perfect

Heard this song for the first time back in October at the Toronto concert (my first ever concert) with my brother. This song means so much to me, as they somehow managed to capture what it feels like to think about all the love and support my closest friends and family have given me while helping me through depression. The beginning of the song feels like when I'm in a depressive pit, but the end feels like when I look back on all the great memories I have with those people, and the gratitude I have for them. This song instantly became special to me, and I will always think about the love I hold for my supporters, especially my brother, as he's always been my best and closest friend, and I'm so happy that we share the memory of going to see Gorillaz for the first time

So far these Gorillaz jams been nothing but straight vibes! Can't wait to hear most these played live!

WOOOOO

i feel like this song would work very nicely on a indie animated film

Gorillaz forever! ♥️

This track brings me back to 2001 Gorillaz. Sounds like something off the self-titled. I dig it.

I remember listening to this song for the first time in the Austin concert 3 months ago, and at certain part of the song I was like "DAMN THIS SONG WAS PLAYED IN THE CONCERT". Long live Gorillaz 🔥

the vocals are so lovely in this!!! my favorite song of the new album for sure ❤️❤️❤️

_Que hermosa canción 😔💖✨ cómo siempre, los amo💖_

I’m honored to say I heard this live, I absolutely love it here ❤

this is like my essence in a song. incredible how after all these years you're still banging

I saw this song live in concert back in October of 2022, Damon, Jamie yall are amazing PRAISE THE HOLY PICKLE MAN

absolutely love it, every song from this album is amazing so far love you gorillaz ❤️❤️❤️
