Make Up Your Mind Damon. Seriously.

Two bands, one common factor. Damon Albarn and his indecisive nature. Damon Albarn is both a member and friend of the band Blur, as well as the co-creater of the band The Gorillaz and in a day where its getting harder and harder for bands to be able to make money, both of the bands are to come out with new albums. Blur will be the first to release, followed by the Gorillaz. The biggest problems that both bands are running into is Damon Albarn's indecisiveness. Albarn has been known to start recording a new track, and then immediately scrap the idea altogether. This of course frustrates his band mates and although they respect him and his talent, wish he could get some of the issues worked out.

As a fan of The Gorillaz, I was drawn to the above article. The albums Demon Days, and the original Gorillaz really inspired be back in the day. The next two albums, were different, but I still loved the tracks on them and I love relaxing to the sounds of the self titled albums, G-sides and D-sides. What has really gotten to me though is how much decision making that Damon Albarn has really put into his music. Other than this article, I have read many articles about new Gorillaz albums (when they were just coming out of course, and the most consistent  thing I have come across in these articles is that Mr. Albarn is extremely indecisive when it comes to his music. Now I'm sure that this comes from wanting his music to be something unique and special to his fans, but many people have come and gone from the Gorillaz for this reason. I even noticed how many songs were different from one another on the album Plastic Beach. I know from interviews with Damon (that I read of course) that he wanted to try many different directions with the band, and there is nothing that said he couldn't decide on the album as a whole, but my personal theory would be that Damon had trouble trying to figure out what the main theme should be to his new album. I love the Gorillaz, in fact there isn't a single song that I hate by the Gorillaz, but I would hate to see such talent and sound be broken due to Damon's endeavor for perfection.  My personal taste will always keep me coming back to the Gorillaz, but perhaps it's time for Damon to get some help with this perfectionist attitude.
