Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

[alex_madf3rit]

Came out today and went and got it. Anybody else interested in them, Damon Albarn is a genius, so yea... Only listened to the first 5 songs so far, not as good as the other 2 but it might grow

[Ravenous megin-sane]

yes yes yes, si vous plait

[here is no why]

like the band... haven't heard the new record yet. will put it on the to-do list.

[alex_madf3rit]

listened to it a couple times.... 7/10 so far

[masuther]

Empire Ants is one of the best songs Damon has ever written.

 

I still prefer Demon Days over Plastic Beach, but it's a great album.

[Muran]

Has anyone seen the video for Stylo? Now all I can think of when I hear it, is Bruce Willis being his usual badass self.

 

Also, I cannot stop listening to Superfast Jellyfish.

 

I'm really impressed with this album. It's got a distinct style that I've come to expect from Gorillaz, but it's very current with what's popular right now.

Agreed, a couple more listens, and I'm liking it more

I don't like a lot of the cameos on the album, definitely not as good as Demon Days.

but that's what gorillaz are about. it's not a damon solo project--- never has been.

 

i think this album is my favourite. demon days/ was excellent, but after listening to plastic beach, i think it's a much better representation of the gorillaz sound.

 

DD was a bit more conventional, both in its instrumentation and in its songwriting, but somehow it still managed to strike-out when it came to succeeding at the "pop" level.

 

DD repeatedly falters in any attempt to sustain any kind of mood. it's far too schizophrenic (or at least, a victim of poor sequencing). sure, there's an underlying theme of despair, but when "DARE" is the best song on the album, and it does virtually nothing to contribute to the post-apocalyptic theme, you know you've got a problem.

I've had it for awhile now and I'm just giving it a listen. It's okay so far, but I'm only 3 tracks in.

Yeah I liked the cameo's on demon days much better.

[alex_madf3rit]

I can't stop listening to On Melancholy Hill... one of the best songs I've heard in a while

[jonathan kid]

white flag is getting a lot of play here

[borntohula]

the cameos are good as in, they're good performances, but as far as the record is concerned, they're horribly mixed. ike mother fucking turner rips it on piano, and danger mouse fucking buries it in the mix.
