You know it's kinda nuts I got into Gorillaz as a kid and they still drop music as recently as...3 hours ago.

what i will always love about this band is that they don’t box themselves into a specific genre, they just make good music. i love hearing what they come up with for each new album

That bass really makes this track awesome

Crazy to think I listened to these guys 20 years ago and they're still cranking out Grade A music. Now my 3 sons are crazy about them. We even named our dog Murdoc lol

i love how thundercat's signature harmonies pair with 2D's singing. song overall feels really fresh, i love it

[Verse 1: 2-D & Thundercat] On Cracker Island it was born To the collective of the dawn They were planting seeds at night To grow a made-up paradise Where the truth was auto-tuned (Forever cult) And it's sadness I consumed (Forever cult) Into my formats everyday (Forever cult) In the end, I had to pay (What world is this?) In the end, I had to pay (I purged my soul) In the end, I had to pay (I drank to write) I've got nothing more to say (I drank to write) [Chorus: 2-D] They taught themselves to be a cult [occult] They didn't know its many strategiеs They taught themselvеs to be a cult [occult] They didn't know its many strategies (Fantasies) [Bridge: Thundercat] What world is this? What world is this? [Verse 2: 2-D & Thundercat] On Cracker Island it was raised (Hey, hey, hey, hey) By the collective from the grave (Hey, hey, hey, hey) It only came out at night (Hey, hey, hey, hey) It ate up their paradise (Paradise) Where the truth was auto-tuned (Forever cult) And it's sadness I consumed (Forever cult) Into my formats everyday (Forever cult) In the end, I had to pay (What world is this?) Out there on my silver lake (I was not there) In the end, it will be great (Beneath the hills) I'm like a ship between the tide (I saw myself) I held on to my surprise (Beneath the void) [Chorus: 2-D] They taught themselves to be a cult [occult] They didn't know its many strategies They taught themselves to be a cult [occult] They didn't know its many strategies (Fantasies) [Verse 3: 2-D & Thundercat] On Cracker Island it will die (Forever cult) Join the collective in the sky (Forever cult) And on the shining bolt of light (Forever cult) Go out to paradise (What world is this?) Where the truth is auto-tuned (I purged my soul) And it's sadness I consume (I drank to write) Into my formats everyday (I drank to write) In the end I had to pay (Forever cult) In the end I had to pay (Forever cult) In the end I'll be okay (Forever cult) [Outro: 2-D] Nothing more to say Nothing more to say Nothing more to say @Genius, not me ❤️⭐

Shout out to Thundercat from playing in Suicidal Tendencies, being on Brainfeeder, playing on Kendrick Lamars album, putting out classics, being on Star Wars AND now doing music Gorillaz. Love to see.

It's weird how almost every single one of their songs burrow into your head so that even if you dislike it initially, you end up loving it eventually.

Ok, now I'm really hyped for this album!!!

You’ve got to love the consistency of Gorillaz- they always make a sound that’s wonderfully unique and fresh. Been a fan since 2001 and have never regretted a single day. Keep on creating Damon Albarn - you truly have a gift.

I have been so hyped for this song release, and to find out THUNDERCAT is featured in it was crazy. This is an absolute banger I’m so happy.

3 minutes in and I already addicted to the song, thank you so muchhhhhh!

THUNDERCATS VOCALS FIT SO WELL !! ALONG WITH HIS BASS WORK. WELL DONE 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This song has this familiar feeling to it when you hear it first time, but its a proper Gorillaz song. Gorillaz never died, some songs were liked more some were less but Gorillaz are always trying new posibilites and sounds that simply fits their songs. People need to realize that no song is a like for the Gorillaz band and they never really had their own theme.

What i love most about this song is this sounds like old and new at the same time.

You had me at “ft. Thundercat” but even then I didn’t know this would be such a banger.

I just got back from the concert. They played this right when it dropped. Absolutely incredible.

Why does literally every single Gorillaz song slap so hard? I'm lowkey obsessed with their music, it doesn't matter what genre it just always bangs

Some Gorillaz songs take a few listens before they become incredible, like Saturn Barz. Some are incredible right out the gate with the staying power to be dopamine generators for decades, like Feel Good Inc. this song heavily fits in the latter. It's such a BOP, dude

In 2001 I was listening to "Clint Eastwood", 21 years later I'm listening to this, What a band ...Long life The Great Damon Albarn!

I love how the mouth is perfectly synced up to everytime it says "Forever Cult"

this song feels like I'm being indoctrinated. I'm addicted. how fitting for the story. beyond hyped

I love this side of Gorillaz!! They’re really starting to dig at the lore again. I’m so excited about what the new phase will have in store! Incredible song!

*_WHAT A BANGER!_* I can also hear a Daft Punk influence in there!

Cracker Island? Oh, you mean Britain?

Glad you guys are back. Was starting to feel lonely. Hope to attend your concert this September.

It amazes me how this band can still turn out incredible, fresh tunes time after time. And they’ve been going since 2001!! God bless Gorillaz!!

I've been bumpin' since Clint Eastwood ran on MTV. The best thing (of many, many great things) to me is that one day, one song that you've skipped or just thought meh.. will catch you at the right time, right mood, the perfect need and it fills your mind and body with a fix. 20+ years and it still happens.

I’m going through a really rough at home situation and all the recent Gorillaz music really vibes with me.

Gorillaz always make my day better with their songs!!! Also...CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW CATCHY THIS SONG ACTUALLY IS???

I just started getting into The Gorillaz music, and it’s insane how his music manages to stay incredibly fresh and never stagnant, yet always has the distinctive Gorillaz flare.

They never get old man. they keep pumping out pure fire music.

Cracker Island sounds like the name of a haunted carnival.

I LOVE THIS!!!

I… I think pink is my favourite colour now…

so how much bangers do you wanna make? Gorillaz: yes.

I realized what I love about this song (Yes, two years later), and it's the flow of the song. The song has many stops in the main parts (like 1:10), but then it starts flowing like a river when it gets close to the chorus (1:26). That combination being the main structure of the song is what makes it pleasant to listen for me. I don't know, I'm probably a weirdo listening to it this way, but it's the best I can describe it.

Meu deus, amei demais! Me lembrou os hinos do The Now Now!

Gorillaz' old stuff are all obviously classics but they've been knocking it out of the park with their new stuff.

i don’t understand how every gorillaz song is so good

When I first heard this song, I thought Thundercat was saying “from Africa” instead of “forever cult” and 2D was saying “They taught themselves to be a cow” instead of “They taught themselves to a cult”.

Gorillaz and Thundercat in the same song is genuinely all I needed. I can die content now.

Eso es lo genial de Gorillaz siempre se atreven a combinar varios generos musicales y les sale una canción ASOMBROSA

I can’t wait for a new album, if it does drop

They have no business releasing music this good every single year

You can tell it's a Gorillaz song because 2D is completely incomprehensible until you've listened to the song a couple times. I'm not the only one, right?

It's always a good day when Gorillaz puts out a song.

This is a new era of music that doesn't deviate from the old Gorillaz style, it 's incredible

I don't know how to express this but this song is circular, it's so weird that it doesn't have a proper refrain and stuff, but it's so good, it feels like it could go on forever repeting its pattern and never get stale...

My daughter turns 8 tomorrow. She is a huge fan of gorillaz. This is like a birthday gift that has come early for her. Thank you Gorillaz!

Gorillaz nunca decepciona

Once again, Gorillaz are back with some of the best music out there! Excited for the future :)

Never heard of Thundercat before this but I love everything he brought to this track.

I've been a Gorillaz fan since the begin and I'm proud to say they've have never disappointed me. Everything from the beats, the lyrics, and even the artists they featuring everything is a masterpiece every time. Thank Gorillaz you guys are the best

GENUINELY one of my favorite songs by Gorillaz and it just released. The whole second half of the song is just incredible.

This goes hard. I love electronic music so this 100% right up my alley. I love it and it's been out for 30 minutes

Песня очень крутая, она звучит прям в стиле Gorillaz, но всë же мне кажется, что в чëм то она отличается от других их песен ❤

YO THIS IS FIRE 🔥

A Gorillaz no importa que disco o cancion sea siempre sera buena de escuchar al oido

ESTA GENIAL, ESTAS NUEVAS CANCIONES ESTAN SIENDO MUY BUENAS, COMBINAN Y EXPLOTAN TODO LO BUENO DE GORILLAZ Q AUN LE QUEDA POR DAR, LO AMOOOOO

I wasn't sure how I was gonna feel about this song, but I love Thundercat so I decided to give it a try. I didn't think much of it until like 45 seconds in when the bass kicked in, then I was hooked! Gorillaz never miss. 👊

This is my kind of music to be listening to while I’m walking down the streets.

cant go wrong with a Thundercat feature!!!

"What genre music do you like?" "Gorillaz" "Understandable, have a great day"

Literally been listening to this band since I was 5 yeas old, and they are still coming out with music years later

Es increíble que este viviendo el estreno de un álbum de Gorillaz, amo

Been slowly growing to like Gorillaz through Stylo and Humility and this does tick the same type of boxes for me

Gorillaz came back just in time for summer

I remember when I was a kid and my dad introduced me to Gorillaz through the song Clint Eastwood (and I instantly fell in love with it).. it's so crazy that you still make music and that it still sounds great! I feel (good inc😂) like Gorillaz isn't even a band anymore, it's an experience that almost everyone will have at some point in their lives! And that is awesome!

LOS AMO GORILLAZ LOS AMO DE VERDAD LOS AMOOOOO 💘💘💘💘🔥🇲🇽

Esto es completamente genial y grandioso, siempre es música buena con el toque de gorillaz, pero sin llegar a ser repetitivo, y la estética es genial, stan gorillaz

The fact that Gorillaz and Thundercat have collab'd had me in tears of joy 😭🔥

I misheard the lyrics as “they taught themself to be a cow, they didn’t know its many strategies”

If this is how we're starting the album, I can't wait for the whole thing

never thought that i’d be here, giggling like a 5 year old, in my bed, listening to song freshly dropped 9 hours ago made by a band I’ve only known for two years. gorillaz is magical.

Been listening to Gorillaz since this group released Clint Eastwood. Gorillaz never disappoints

Gorillaz are immortal ! Never getting old and sounds modern.

Gorillaz are fantastic and this actually the first song I've seen with those pretty cool visuals! A masterpiece of art!

Listening to this on the radio for the first time was one of the greatest moments in my life, GORILLAZ FOREVER! 🤘

Está canción la escuché en vivo en el pulso gnp de Querétaro con mi primo, fue lo mejor de lo mejor😍😍

2:44 their voice’s together in “i drank to riot” sounds awesome

Me in bed jammin for the 100th play of this new banger: 🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗

Wtf, porqué esto es tan bueno- Definitivamente haber empezado a escuchar Gorillaz hace tiempo fué una de las mejores decisiones que tomé, siempre traen canciones tan buenas. AMO FUERTE. 💘

Yo recuerdo cuando lo ví en vivo y lo cantaron en su concierto fue increíble Damon es un crack en el escenario y los coros fueron espectaculares

“On cracker island it was born” - History of the British Empire

Não paro de ouvir, bom demais

Рад что горилаз всё ещё выпускает песни

Esta potentisima alv, cuando la escuche en vivo en el pulso no me gusto tanto pero ahora esta version esta verguisima!

Gorillaz always has something new to show and it is surpassed with each song, it is simply art

Pinche ROLOTA ME DESPEINA LOS PELOS DE LOS HUEVOS DE LO PODEROSA QUE ESTA

"2-D! Where was it born??" 2-D in question:

This is so groovy! Exactly why Gorillaz is my favorite band, they're always so original!!

Gosto muito das músicas calmas,por isso plastic beach é meu álbum preferido,mas essa música é sem igual, amei,espero que esse novo álbum apresente músicas calmas também

i love how their style seems to change for each song, and they nail it every time. this song was worth the wait

Так хочется хотя бы раз побывать на вашем концерте(((( Надеюсь, что вы и дальше продолжите нас радовать своим творчеством

Mano que música foda, Gorillaz nunca desaponta.

Gorillaz is like an addiction. It keeps coming back, and you'll probably need therapy to live without them.
