Found the hidden video and Im feeling this first single.
Dangermouse produced Demon Days by Gorillaz 20 years ago so I've got full faith in his art.

I haven't listened to this track yet, but I feel the same way about Danger Mouse. I know that I've called him the Ron Howard of producers on here before and gotten the response from someone that they can't tell if that's positive or not. It isn't.
EDIT:
Just listened to it and find it ironic that he's trying to make it sound so much like The Black Keys, when they did a better job with Blakroc

I've never seen any of them so it was really cool to get them all at once! I was a little disappointed about the merch and thinking there would be more / a little better designs. And was kind of weird that that didn't really perform many of the tracks with all three of them on it (they did John Woo Flick, Dr Bird's, Tito's Back [though no Westside I'm pretty sure]. Also Benny performed Tyson V Ali to lead into Conway coming out but Conway didn't do his verse lol).
Besides those minor quips I had fun. They did a lot of good tracks still (I have a full setlist and playlist for it if anyone is curious) and Conway was great which is nice cuz he's my favorite. Also was cool that basically all of major Griselda and sublabels besides Boldy was there and performed at least for this stop. And 38 Spesh doing Sunday School was awesome.
Venue wasn't too terrible to get to and free parking was super easy as well. Kinda thinking of hitting up the Pusha T show there next month now

Free parking in Chicago?? That's a unicorn if I've ever seen one. I'm disappointed to hear about the lackluster merch, but at least that makes that night a cheaper one as I was prepared to drop some $$. Sweet on all the other artists being there too. I know they love to show out, so it's good to see that continue to this tour. I'm looking forward to the Denver stop for sure.I've never seen any of them so it was really cool to get them all at once!

Eh can't say I've listened to everything Dangermouse has done, but Demon Days is amazing and he made a listenable Adult Swim rap album so for that I praise his talents. He used to work at my local record shop before the Grey Album.
Anyway Black Thought doesn't fuck around, his first solo ep was entirely produced by 9th wonder and the next was all salaam remi. He's been tapping talent and coming up with gold. Those streams of thought eps are flawless. My 2 cents it's gonna be

This gave me chills. Notice the strap, really an image worth 10,000 words. This album is going to be very special as well.

I just feel like he overproduces the soul right out of things. On this first track, he could have just looped a small section of the beginning, but felt he needed to loop that anthemic build up on repeat, rather than use it in more select areas, which waters it down for me. He also has to add all the little flourishes with the voice samples, etc. For me, that fights with Black Thoughts lyrics and vocals, overpowering them rather than supporting or highlighting them. I know people like Burton, but it feels forced. I'm a WU Tang fan, though. I appreciate the skill of more tasteful, gritty, and sparse production.
He made that Rome album with Jack White and Nora Jones and it took all the dustiness out of spaghetti Western. It's almost like a costume playing Morricone and with this he's playing hip hop. I'd rather listen to Goodie Mobb over Gnarles Barkley, almost any DOOM over The Mouse And The Mask, and One Foot In The Grave or Seachange over Modern Guilt... even the Shins over Broken Bells. It's just a personal and stylistic preference, though. I'm just more of a fan of music built around raw heart than clean super shiny production. Happy blues is weird to me. I also hate Eric Clapton.
EL-P spoke about how, in the early days, he would just make beats and have/let people rap on them. He said it took him awhile to learn how to actually produce for other people. That takes a willingness to disappear into the background and focus on tailoring the production to the individual so that it highlights their strengths, pulls something out of them and lets them shine. It always feels like Dangermouse wants to be seen, often at the detriment to the overall product.
This first track sounds like a Dangermouse beat so much that it sounds like the Black Keys, who he's produced multiple albums for. If you like Dangermouse beats/production, then I think you'll like this album. Black Thought is just someone that I believe cares about the craft more than if he's the one making something. That's why he's been so willing to let his band shine as a unit, while being underappreciated as a lyricist for decades. This isn't a Blackthought album, though, it's a Dangermouse and Blackthought album. They'll deliver for those who want that. After all the Jimmy Fallon shit, I want to hear him come a bit more rugged in his off time.
Most people seem excited for this project, and I'm sure will be more than satisfied. I'm not trying to be a killjoy, but I appreciated seeing the comment by @Woob_woob, specifically because I know I'm in the minority, so I don't see that sentiment expressed very often.

I've never been crazy about Danger Mouse. he's been a part of some huge projects, but I never seemed to care about them nearly as much as everyone else. if anyone was to ask me which producer I'd want to hear do a full length with Black Thought I don't think my answer would ever be "Danger Mouse", even if it was Danger Mouse asking me that question.
I do remember liking that album with Jemini though.
