No album news, but it raises some interesting, debatable points..
is the world already sick of the Danger Mouse sound? will the U2 record end up sounding like a DM album, feat. Bono and Chris Martin on vocals?
the same criticisms have been levelled at Daniel Lanois.. his records do sound alike, but play Acadie, Achtung Baby, Wrecking Ball and Le Noise one after another, and you'll hear 4 very different records..
can the same be said for Modern Guilt, Broken Bells, El Camino and Rome?
The Danger Mouse "sound," as it was, combined all the best parts of '50s rock and roll and '60s Motown with a modern hip-hop sensibility. It doesn't take a genius to notice that those are the same elements almost every pop-minded rock star has been trying to tame since the Beatles. From Phil Collins' obsession with it to Grizzly Bear covering Phil Spector girl-group songs today, it's the traditional blueprint for high-minded rock.
Danger Mouse is essentially a one-trick pony. What was refreshing in 2006 and what was even a noble experiment for rock artists to indulge in back in 2008 is officially played out. Danger Mouse is an eminently talented man, but he essentially has one very unique sound. Every single record he produces sounds exactly like him. He's so immediately identifiable that he cannot produce anyone's record without it literally reeking of Danger Mouse.
