The group's first album following a many-year hiatus following Phase 3 and the extremely ambitious ''Music/PlasticBeach'', the album was approached as both [[RevisitingTheRoots a return to conceptual basics]] while catching up on the modern sensibilities that the group had missed during the interim. The original high concept was that of a loose "emotional response to politics," writing of a dark future where UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump won the 2016 US presidential election (this was before he actually ''did'' win). The album also features a very prolific list of collaborators and guest features, including Music/BenjaminClementine, Popcaan, Vince Staples, Creator/GraceJones, Pusha T, Jehnny Beth, and more.
The album performed well and marked the band's fourth top-ten album in the US, but the reception was distinctly mixed compared to the widespread acclaim of previous projects. The most common criticisms were related to the album's loose structure as well as overabundance of features, with the consensus among critics and longtime fans being that Gorillaz the band (especially the voice of 2D) were being vastly overshadowed by their collaborators. This criticism would greatly inform the trajectory of future Gorillaz projects, with the vastly more 2D-centric ''The Now Now'' and the more evenly-handed collaborative series ''Song Machine''.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: One of the main complaints made about the album by its detractors. Nearly every song has a featured artist who takes the lead vocal role on that song, with on brief singing pieces by 2D. Many believed this made it feel more like a compilation album of other people's songs tied together by Gorillaz production, rather than a Gorillaz album.
