    • @seanberrodin801
      @seanberrodin801 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      @Natalia P. I don't know if that's entirely true. "Strange Timez," "In The Valley of the Pagan," and "Momentary Bliss" feature his kinda rap/sung/spoken vocals he's been loving since Humanz. "Pac-Man" sounds like it was straight off on Demon Days. I hear a bit of blur on "Desole" and "Dead Butterflies" but the rest of the tracks that I haven't mentioned yet just sound like Damon being Damon I'm not getting strong 'blur' vibes. But then again a lot of blur just sounds like Damon these days. I dunno just my two cents.

    • @cactaceous
      @cactaceous 4 ปีที่แล้ว +20
