sweepstakes
if it's as good as demon days I'll love it
preordered it
Broken & Stylo are the only tracks i've heard from it and i loved them
Quote from: Flashif it's as good as demon days I'll love it
it's not
but it has a few good tracks, i think superfast jellyfish and empire ants are the best. some other tracks like rhinestone eyes and broken remind me the most of the gorillaz sound. for the most part i think the album is less about the gorillaz and more about having a collaborative feel, which would be fine except most of the guest artists suck or don't fit in
i'd say it's an average album but the videos that are going to go along with it will make it stronger. by itself though it's not that great, especially some tracks on their own
Pretty much wanted it the moment i heard about it!

superfast superfast, I came in last, but just in time for breakfast
whats different about this album and the other 2 is that its almost exclusively produced by Murdoc. Personally I like it more than demon days just sayin
im not sure if i like it as much as demon days. honestly they sound completely different to me.
im pretty sure I will like it
Quote from: REDMONGOOSEwhats different about this album and the other 2 is that its almost exclusively produced by Murdoc
so what you're saying is that while the last 2 albums were produced by damon albarn, this one was almost exclusively produced by damon albarn
danger mouse produced demon days which is probably why it sounded so good
this was all albarn and a few of his buddies. theres barely much of an actual traditional band playing in this, its like the total opposite of the first gorillaz album. i wasnt expecting the electro feel at all
i agree with rtil in that a lot of the tracks dont work that well standalone, but as an album everything comes together and it sounds really good
rhinestone eyes, broken, superfast jellyfish, empire ants, melancholy hill are the tracks that i'd call great
oh and their best song is still clint eastwood
i liked demon days more, but i still thought this album was really good. glitter freeze, empire ants, rhinestone eyes and broken are my favorites
demon days had a little bit of help from danger mouse
right now i love some kind of nature, empire ants, broken, white flag and to binge
Quote from: lenkabiscaoh and their best song is still clint eastwood
nah, dirty harry
gorillaz debate
tomorrow comes today is my fav, i haven't listened to this one yet but i'll find a torrent for it or something
stop listening to bad cartoons plz
what do you listen to, exactly
on this album, the jellyfish one is my fav

I knew there was no real way you could pass up that opportunity. Thanks for peppering up this thread with that patented tbacorp flavor
problem?

*glomps fox*
Most of the non-rap tracks are great but I dislike most of the rap songs on the album. I generally hate rap though. Also, I like the album better than Demon Days but I never really cared for DD though. Their first studio album is solid stuff though.
Quote from: lenkabiscaoh and their best song is still clint eastwood
i agree. also systek im surprised you like tomorrow comes today, i thought i was the only one who liked that song
what's with all the orchestrated hip-hop? that doesn't seem very gorillaz.
i think damon albarn's voice is a major part of what makes the gorillaz sound like the gorillaz, and with all the featured artists it just sounds kind of different.
i also feel that a lot of the artists really don't fit the gorillaz style.
Quote from: RichChapi think damon albarn's voice is a major part of what makes the gorillaz sound like the gorillaz, and with all the featured artists it just sounds kind of different.
If that's the case, then no wonder their second album wasn't very good. His vocals sucked on that album compared to their first one.
actually he's been pretty damn consistent throughout all three albums. otherwise the gorillaz wouldn't have an authentic sound.
i've listened to the album enough times now to know which songs i like and which i dont
good:
rhinestone eyes
superfast jellyfish
empire ants
on melancholy hill
to binge
broken
ok:
the world of the plastic beach
white flag
stylo - would be good without bobby womack
glitter freeze
pirate jet
bad:
some kind of nature - doesn't sound like gorillaz at all
sweepstakes ... talk about mind-numbingly repetitive, horrible beat too
i'd still say the album is average mostly due to some bad choices for guest artists. the exception to the rule here being little dragon, she reminds me of the guest vocals on 'all alone' from demon days. really great voice for gorillaz
some kind of nature doesnt sound like gorillaz but i still like it
Sweepstakes is fucking terrible. Probably the worst song Gorillaz ever made.

but yeah sweepstakes is ass. breaks the flow of the album imo
I liked each song.
But glitterfreeze, rhinestone eyes, and superfast jellyfish were my favorites by a long shot.
ive really been warming up to rhinestone eyes. empire ants is amazing though, i really cant wait until they make the video for it
Quote from: anigenQuote from: lenkabiscaoh and their best song is still clint eastwood
i agree. also systek im surprised you like tomorrow comes today, i thought i was the only one who liked that song
tomorrow comes today is the only song i have ever liked that is slow and sounds sad. all the songs i like are upbeat and happy or such
preordered it, can't wait to hear it. all i've heard is stylo and superfast jellyfish and i think they're both great though stylo could use some improvements.
okay i'm lying i only liked stylo because of the music video it wasn't all that great.
I think we are forgetting about the greatest virtual band ever.

mega is thesvirtuals band rock\m/ \m/
btw gorila
DEATH
I think it's really odd how Damon Albarn doesn't sing until track #4. :/
So I have listened to their third album three times and I recently listened to Gorillaz's first two albums for the first time in over 18 months. My conclusion?
Gorillaz >>>>> Plastic Beach >>>>>>>>>> Demon Days
Their first album is at least a 9/10 where as their latest album is either a 7.5 or 8/10. Their second album is a 6/10 at most. >_>
Edit-
Plastic Beach would be a definite 8/10 if that garbage track Sweepstakes wasn't on the album.
My conclusion? >_>
:/
itt wac doesnt like nice things

Quote from: lenkabiscaoh and their best song is still clint eastwood
For me it's Every Planet We Reach is Dead. I feel its very underrated.
Also I think I'm going to like Demon Days still the most. I think its the dark, murky, ominous feel of the album that really spoke to me. I also am basing this off of word of mouth, not firsthand listening. I'm waiting for the album to come out this Tuesday because I want the CD with art.
I agree that Every Planet We Reach is Dead is one of their best songs from Demon Days. It's a pretty good song.

sweepstakes to me is really kind of off-kilter

I listened to it today and cried.
Emotions are good.
So my three favorite Plastic Beach songs are the most listened to on Last.fm? Great.
just got back from the live show
really fucking amazing and it had cute little skits with murdoc etc. inbetween. mark e smith, the two clash members and bobby womack were all there
little dragon and de la soul both played support sets beforehand as well
You lucky prick. Wish I could go to one, but I doubt they'll ever come to Hawaii. I know they've already been through Oklahoma because my friend got to chat and shake the hands of Damon Albarn.
