What does /mu/ think of Gorillaz? I was always a bit thrown off

FEEL GUH

Demon Days is actually decent for its huge popularity. Plastic Beach was complete shit though. Such an ugly album and it's not even catchy.

>not even catchy
lol

rhinestone eyes, stylo, on melancholy hill, broken, plastic beach and to binge were all pretty and catchy

it did seem like a messy collection of electronica blur b-sides rather than a gorillaz album tho

plus the lack of backstory unlike phases 1 and 2 made it so lackluster desu

Demon Days is GOAT

>>61907667
what the fuck??? what the wtf the fuck. wtf the what the wtf the what the fuck? wtf?

On Melancholy Hill, Broken, Empire Ants, Plastic Beach, To Binge, Stylo and Rhinestone Eyes are some of the greatest songs Gorillaz has ever put out. Some of the other tracks are lacklustre (and i personally hate tracks 2,3,6 and 8) but it's a sick album dude

Stylo is the closet thing to anything decent on that. But even that song is plagued with bad guest appearances

Overall, Plastic Beach has less good hooks, worse production, and less dynamics than Demon Days and as a result, excretes a bunch of bad pop songs that's a mush of nearly every bad trend of the 21st century. Boring and annoying.

I'm the opposite, I love their aesthetic but think their music is just meh

Loved the asthetics and music of the mainline albums and sides. Was super pissed that Phase 3 sort of just died due to not being able to afford music videos/website updates/shit like that and we just had to be told what happens. Looking forward to the new album that should be coming out, hope that it has a proper phase.

Man, i feel so sorry for you, that you're unable to appreciate how good this album is

I agree. At some point Gorillaz was a huge part of pop culture in many different ways, and was communicated in such a way that it could appeal, both music- and aesthetic wise, to a lot of people. I remember watching the music videos on MTV thinking how cool it all was. How this music was presented through cartoons and vice versa.

I hope their next album, and the art that presumably follows, will be as great as their previous work.

I hadn't seen any new pictures since they first announced they'd do a new album. Glad he's keeping the trend of them aging.

I was actually drawn in by their aesthetic - I always liked that "90s asian punk" look.

At my first listen, I didn't 'get' them, so I thought they were boring and tried to move on. Then for some reason, I wanted to hear them again. And again. And again.

And now they're my favorite lyrical group.

I'm gonna get hounded for this but: their debut is actually their best work imo tbqh.

Not a bad album I guess

>>61908446
>worse production
>a fucking arabic orchestra for one track

please stop being objectively wrong

I love them. All their albums have been great. I think Damon Albarn needs to stop writing songs about how we're all dependent on electronics and polluting, though, it's getting boring.

Demon Days was good but everything else by them grew old really fast.

Their best song is easily Feel Good Inc, followed by November Has Come.
