BONUS TRACKS (CD 2)
Freak Show (feat. Everything Everything)
The Art Of Murder
Extremania (feat. The Chemical Brothers)
Time Is Running Out (with guitar solo by Dave Grohl)
the details of the songs (such as what i want it to sound like and others) will be under the cut. on the other hand, italicised words are some fragments of the lyrics.
The Startup
kinda sounds like a mix between capsule’s “construction”, “WAVE RUNNER”, and Perfume’s “Take off”, but sorta longer and it has the gorillaz’s speaking voices as samples
Pins ’n’ Needles
rap song with kendrick bc it’s gonna be so cool if kendrick collabs with the gorillaz!!
heavy bass and syncopated beats. around 120-130 bpm
“i got pins n needles in my skin, help me, fuck the system, this ain’t gonna happen now.”
Running Standards
entirely sung/rapped by 2D
about nightmares and predicting the future (sorta like sixth sense?)
“oh, i’ve been chased by the monsters in my dreams and i can’t get em out of my head. oh please, get em out of my head. this is ruining my standards and it’s been a running standard.”
Drunkenstein (feat. Steve Aoki)
will have the signature aoki sound but with 2D’s vocals!!!
“where am i? somewhere lost in the world of frankenstein?”
trust me, the bass drop will be EPIC.
There’s A Party Down Here (feat. Beck)
will sound like sth from Beck’s “Colors” album mixed with gorillaz style
kinda like “Dreams” part 2 x “Strobelite”
very dancey song
gonna borrow some lyrics from beck songs
“Just wanna stay up all night cuz there’s a party down here”
“running circles in this secret lair”
Mad Mad World (feat. Jamiroquai)
probs the danciest track of the album
heavy buzzy synths and deep funky bass
typical Synkronized-era sound
Jay Kay x 2D with vocals
“it’s a maaaad maaad wooorld!! and don’t you dare get me outta here!” ok that sounds cheesy but idk how to write good lyrics
All On Me
80% instrumental with hiphop drum machines and 80s esque synth
“put your soul all on me” - that’s one lyric right there
kinda like NGHFB’s “The Right Stuff”. same vibe at least.
Monster Beat (feat. Skrillex)
no, it’s not dubstep. actually, it’s kinda dubstep. but not like Skrillex’s Bangarang/Scary Monsters-era dubstep. that’s too heavy and strange for a Gorillaz song.
gonna be a reaaaally fast song
Sonny’s gonna sample some growling and roaring monsters and put them in the main riff of the song.
Imitations
from Monster Beat to this, Imitations will be wayyy slower than MB.
kinda like Blur’s “Ice Cream Man” + Damon’s “Lonely Press Play”
veeeery trippy
best to listen to when you’re high lol
REFLEX (feat. Logic)
NOW THIS WILL BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE ALBUM
will sound like sth from the Bobby Tarantino album
Garage Palace + Flexicution vibes
130 bpm i guess
Mechanic Frontier (feat. Jarvis Cocker)
electronic + RnB
yes. jarvis singing electronic.
this song will not have a single trance of any pulp song EVER.
“take me to the mechanic frontier and that’s where i’ll resign my soul”
Blood Dusk (feat. Childish Gambino)
80s electro vibes
kinda like Redbone but more upbeat and faster
“the sun’s setting, you should get out of this place soon. you’re gonna drive me crazy.”
Anomalies (feat. The Weeknd)
aka a hidden track from the Starboy album lol
2D’s not gonna sing anything
“hiding in the shadows, what do i see? it’s you who’s running away from me.”
Castle of the Freaks (feat. Matt Bellamy (of Muse))
will have the distinct Muse sound
kinda like Supermassive Black Hole combined with Psycho
“let’s go to the castle of the freaks, never go out again. i am one with them.”
Artificial Universe
the magnum opus of the album
kinda like NGHFB’s “The Man Who Built The Moon” but more electronic
entirely 2D singing
HE WILL HIT FALSETTOS BTW
will sound mega
BACKING VOCALS FROM GRAHAM COXON!!
Epilogue: Reset
will take elements from the first track
technically, it’s the first track remixed with spoken words.
Freak Show (feat. Everything Everything)
kinda horrific synthpop song with the distinct EE sound
“we’re here to freak you out in this very own show”
at the end of the song, 2D whispers “enjoy” and it will get shivers down your spine.
The Art Of Murder
sort of alt-rocky sound mixed with trip hop elements
solid heavy bass by murdoc. alex james is shook.
2D is almost SCREAMING in this song
Extremania (feat. The Chemical Brothers)
i forgot to mention that De La Soul is gonna rap here!
will sound like Dig Your Own Hole OR Push The Button-era ChemBros.
Time Is Running Out
with a guitar solo by Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl!!!
some of Graham Coxon’s “Don’t Let Your Man Know” vibes (ok but where did that come from)
“t-t-t-time is running out, gotta go rapid quick. down the river, down the abyss of time.”
