That was ... generally terrible. Just never comes together or goes anywhere. I've seen defense of it as "It's supposed to feel uncomofrtable! It's the message!" but there's plenty of unsettling but wonderful music and it isn't an excuse. Not at all what I think of when I think of why I used to be really into this band.
I'm hoping the album isn't like this, because Jesus Christ, I'll probably never hear it a second time if that's the case.

The press release for the song seems to imply that this is a non-album single.Originally Posted by kleiner352
As for the track itself...I dunno - it sounds like two completely different songs melded into one. Clementine's vocals and the rest of the music never seem to mesh. A composition similar to "Cloud of Unknowing" would have blended much better with the vocals. Maybe the juxtaposition was intentional, maybe Albarn suddenly became tone-deaf.
