Gorillaz - Plastic Beach (2010)

[Motoko.]

This is practically the album of 2010, it doesn't get any better than this.

When I heard Snoop Dogg spinning that sh*t, I was just in delight throughout the entire disc. The last album to do that was Daft Punk's Homework.

[iamawesomewicked]

Well... I can think of one album that's better right now :p

[Berserk87]

stylo, only good song.

Yep, this is a brilliant album. I've been listening to it non stop for the past couple of weeks - I can't get enough of it. I seem to have a new favourite song each week. First it was Superfast Jellyfish, then On Melancholy Hill. Right now it's Cloud of Unknowing and Pirate Jet.

[HilariousNinja]

Stylo, On Melancholy Hill, Empire Ants and Superfast Jellyfish are very good songs. The rest are ok. Have to agree though, probably is the best album of the year so far.

go listen to bonobo's new album - black sands. Best album of the year. For sure. This Gorillaz album is subpar so far.

one of the most worse CD I had heared this year. By far their worse work. Seems like Damon was forced to release something before the ppl forget about them. Blur would make it better?. Dont think so...

Can't argue with an opinion :p

But what made you not like this one, too trance/ambient?

[KoL Veteran]

Love the album. On Melancholy Hill, Empire Ants, Rhinestone Eyes are my favorites. I really like Stylo, Welcome to the World of the Plactic Beach, Super Jellyfish, Glitter Freeze and Plastic Beach too.

[houlty]

I've given the album a few listens over the past couple of days and i definitely like it, didn't blow me way though.

Stylo and Superfast Jellyfish stand out for me. Damon Albarn's delivery annoys me a bit on Rhinestone Eyes, so can't really get into that song.

[XerXis]

didn't even know gorillaz still existed

[.Kompressor]

love the g0rillaz. :whistle:

I thought they had retired before they released this album

[Syanide]

I didn't know this was out. Gonna try to check it out.

I had no idea Bonobo had a new album out! I love you!

[mediVh]

its good... but its by no means album of 2010...

Scuba - Triangulation is currently holding that title.

[MR_Candyman]

well, I bought this cd about a week ago and just now got around to listening to it. I'm on "On Melancholy Hill" right now and this is the first song I've actually liked. This album is a huge disappointment for me. Guess I should have pirated it first like I usually do :(

[e-berlin.org]

Definately 2010's weakest album. Has no character at all. So sad to hear such crap from Damon...

[c_los]

I think Gorillaz have a lot of good music out there, not all of it is from one album, that being said I think this album definitely contributes.

One song in particular "Empire Ants"

[Vice]

Plastic Beach I feel spends to much time trying to get other artists out of their comfort zones. I mainly listen to The Gorillaz due to Damon Albarn's vocals. I love his sound. And I feel like plastic beach is severely lacking his vocals. A lot of the songs on the new album feel incomplete. I wouldn't say it was rushed I would say they just didn't know how to finish what they started.

Demon Days for me is one of the best albums I've ever heard and it was always going to be difficult for them to follow that album. Either by releasing something considered worse or something that is identical and thus not ground breaking. But even so I think Plastic Beach although a decent album is not great and I think if they had of been a little more conservative and took a step back to put more of themselves in to the songs instead of so many other artists that it would have turned out better.

Just my humble opinion as a Gorillaz fan :)

[dead.cell]

Love Demon Days to death, but man, I gave this a go to see if I'd like it and I'm not impressed at all.

I like Broken, but the rest just feels boring and awkward. My girlfriend felt the same way too

Very poor, in my opinion. (N)

Now I'm sad. :(

[MR_Candyman]

ya, finished that listen and listened again today, and on melancholy hill and broken are the only songs I genuinely like. Huge disappointment.

[BilliShere]

While i like the gorillaz, this was not what i had expected. I had in mind more of the Feel Good Inc kinda music. the only song on this album close to that is Stylo. Other than that i don't really like this new album as much as their previous ones.
