The Bunting Song 8. Nature Springs 9. A Soldier¹s Tale 10. Three Changes 11. Green Fields 12. The Good, The Bad & The Queen And according to my sources, the band are going to remain nameless :blink: Any opinions so far on the album or the band?
November 24, 200618 yr Author No name? Thats very odd and wont help them! That's what I thought! :wacko: From Wiki: The Good, the Bad and the Queen is the name of Blur frontman Damon Albarn's new album and new project, although the band itself doesn't have a name yet Very post-modern :mellow:
November 24, 200618 yr It will harm the sales! I dont like it when bands are too odd, it puts people off!
November 24, 200618 yr Author It will harm the sales! I dont like it when bands are too odd, it puts people off! Albarn's always been known to be a bit left-field but refusing to name a band is a shade too far imo :lol:
November 24, 200618 yr Albarn's always been known to be a bit left-field but refusing to name a band is a shade too far imo :lol: Yep, this could be a mistake a la Radiohead becoming too weird :(
November 24, 200618 yr Author Yep, this could be a mistake a la Radiohead becoming too weird :( Yeah.. whatever happened to Radiohead?! I know that Yorke went off to do a solo project, but even before that the band had been gone for a while :unsure: Edited November 24, 200618 yr by Y!kes
November 24, 200618 yr Yeah.. whatever happened to Radiohead?! I know that Yorke went off to do a solo project, but even before that the band had been gone for a while :unsure: Their last album was out in 2003 - Hail To The Thief (and wasn't much cop, imo).
November 24, 200618 yr Author Their last album was out in 2003 - Hail To The Thief (and wasn't much cop, imo). Hmmmm... I think you may be right about people starting to get bored of bands that go 'wierd' -_- Although I wasn't a fan of 'Herculean', it'd be a shame to see this project go under :(

Gorillaz has worked well, so the talent is there, they just need the right image.
November 24, 200618 yr Author Well, they just need a decent name to go with the concept. Gorillaz has worked well, so the talent is there, they just need the right image. I think Herculean would have been a good band name, or even 'The Good The Bad And The Queen' is better than nothing :unsure: Meh, hopefully they'll decide on a name and pull everything together... like Wiki says they're un-named AS OF YET - they may have been deciding on a name when the article was being written ^_^
