| The gist | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Slant | 5/5 | 100 | “This is an album where the mind-boggling and the mind-blowing are wall to wall.” |
| musicOMH | 5/5 | 100 | “Gorillaz are, as everyone knows by now, not really a cartoon band. They're much more than that. Used by Damon Albarn as a way of infiltrating the pop” |
| Beats Per Minute | 90% | 90 | “Music News, Reviews, Interviews, Videos and MP3s” |
| RapReviews | 7/10 | 70 | |
| PopMatters | 7/10 | 70 | “The year is 2001. Commercialism in music has reached a fever pitch. Corporation-designed music groups like the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, and Destiny's Child” |

How the Breakdown works
Every outlet’s score is converted to 0–100 (2/5 is 40, 5.9/10 is 59, a B+ is 88) and averaged. Grades follow the B-Side scale: A is 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60. Critics who liked it is the share of outlets that scored it 75 or higher; the Breakdown shows green at 75 and up, red below. Divisiveness asks a different question: not whether critics liked it, but how close their scores are to each other. Five critics who all give it 50 are Unanimous, even though none of them liked it. The labels run Unanimous, Broad agreement, Some debate, Divided, and Contentious. Replay rate comes from listeners, not critics: yes counts fully, a few tracks counts half, no counts zero. The gist quotes each outlet’s own summary of its review. Scores marked est. come from reviews that publish no number.
