On Melancholy Hill was mostly just Damon Albarn messing around with more of a pop sounding song and damn he came up with that masterpiece

People don't understand how amazing some kind of nature is, lou's aged vocals, the subject matter and poppy beat all first class

The 8 song run of rhinestone eyes to broken is amazing. It's such a variety of different music genres executed fantastically.

I'm not sure If they intended another possible meaning but with global warming the sea life is diminishing but jellyfish population only increasing with warmer seas causing that to be a "main source of food" later on.

@@Luka-jk5ww It's both. Firstly, it's an ad in the middle of the album - but the ad is also a futuristic one where obviously climate change has affected food supply so much that people are needing to eat jellyfish. But the underlying message is that instead of working to fix the problem, companies will spend more time trying to sell the problem to consumers.

This is one of the albums I keep coming back to over and over again. It delivers on the themes consistently, while doing so in a way that doesn’t ever get repetitive. It’s experimental, it’s vibrant, and it’s emotional. Love this one, and I’m glad you decided to check it out!

Honestly sweepstakes is one of my fav gorillaz song. it rly shows how music cant sound good if its not complete and it kinda sounds horrible at the beginning but upon adding instruments and new beats it becomes complete and is such a bop and to prove it again they remove everything from the music and it sounds bad again

This album introduced me to Kano, Little Dragon, Mos Def and more! Love Plastic Beach!!!

This album is a master piece from start to finish 💚💛🧡💗💜💙

I've always loved how Gorillaz have been simultaneously consistent and versatile with their music and I feel that Plastic Beach embodies that. Along with it's subtle messages and great collaborators, its definitely my favorite album from them.

I really like Stylo but I dont find many others that do. Its not their *greatest* song but I really enjoy it when paired with its video. Although it might be confusing if watched by someone that didn't follow along with the story thing they had going on at the time.

Nice that you reviewed this on Damon's birthday :). It is an absolutely brilliant album in every way

Oh damn I was waiting for this one. This album came out when I was at the end of high school and It has consistently been one of my favorites ever since.

finally ive been waiting for this one!=

The first video I watched in this channel is coincidentally the reaction of Demon Days, and the YT recommendations bring me to this reaction! Lucky to be here and thanks for doing this, Gorillaz is one of my favorite bands and I like Demon Days a lot! Great album for a great band for sure! Greetings from Brazil

Love your passion

I saw this tour in PHX - they brought literally everyone from this album and most from demon days - absolutely amazing

One of my favorite albums ever. Gorillaz are so great

Let’s gooo, new shelbby

Empire Ants is one of the greatest songs of all time

Plastic Beach (the song) was one of my go to smoke sesh songs back in the day. Still have a big soft spot for this album

gorillaz music is honestly just timeless, they somehow cater to all kinds of tastes, and are very tasteful and definitely follow along what's popular at the moment. their recent music is something that could be listened to in the beginning in the beginning of their career, and their old music doesn't ever feel old at all, in other words, like i said - timeless.

there is no thrill like watching someone react to empire ants for the first time

Gorillaz played live in my country, Argentina, this year. Though I had known them for a long time, never paid enough attention to their music. So I started with Plastic Beach, whose sounds, images & feelings carry us to so many worlds.

One of my all time favourites. What an album

30:04, it makes sense that it sounds Carnivally, as Carousel was Damon's scratch project name. His father worked in various amusement parks.

best gorillaz album, my top 10 all time easy

I’ve only just recently started listening to this album. LOVED stylo since it came out and I’ve only just heard on melancholy hill!!!!!!! OMG how have I never listened to this album yet Gorillaz actually make beautiful music

My top from this album are Rhinestone Eyes, Up on Melancholy hill, Stylo, Broken and Empire ants. And they're all in first place

First video of yours I've watched and love your commentary and reactions. You may aswell continue in order and react to Gorillaz next album 'Humanz' soon please

I would really recommend the album Songmachine if you want to listen to more Gorillaz. It’s an album with a different musical guest and Genre on every song. Humans and the Now Now are also good but a little inconsistent. Really loved your reaction. This album has aged so well.

it's wild seeing how long it has been since plastic beach came out and nothing about the world changed, in fact it has gotten worse. The album is called Plastic Beach, a beach literally made out of plastic waste in the middle of the pacific ocean and most of the songs take jabs at how much our world and life style is screwed up consumerism wise.

PS if you ever get the chance to see Gorillaz live, don't miss them. It's a transcendent experience

What do you listen to typically on your personal time?

One of Gorillaz best album

I need Nurture - Porter Robinson

Do you plan to listen to the rest of the Gorillaz discography?

Maggie Rogers heard it in a past life is an album I think you’d fall in love with

Man on the moon : the end of day , I feel you’d really like it

I know that you only listen to music on the channel, but you just have to watch clips for those songs that you have already heard, you miss such a beautiful part of gorillaz, their clips works of art

I love Little Dragon because of Empire Ants.

If you liked this album, you should check out Dela Soul's: And the Anonymous Nobody. Dela have been one of Gorillaz most frequent collaborators and this album features Damon Albarn of Gorillaz on one of the best tracks. Good review 🤘✌

no headphones?? :(

You should listen to Little Dragon - Ritual Union. One of their best albums in my opinion.

I'd understand if you skipped gorillaz next album The Fall because most gorillaz fans don't consider it a real gorillaz album, but Humanz is another worldly experience. It's very jarring upon first listen but I don't think another album has ever grown on me like it has

I'm pretty sure the pulsing is the bass on track 2

Excellent video, if you can react to all gorillaz albums... Each album is totally different musical feet.

When will you be checking out Yeezus by Kanye West?

I think u would like nurture by porter robinson

Stylo and super fast jelly fish were the singles at first than melancholy hill was a single i think

I love the band and this album, but this took a little while to grow on me. Like there are spectacular songs, but I did need to warm up to other tracks. I think there is some overproduced songs. Where previous albums had layers, this album purposely crashes transitions from one track to the other. Overall I do enjoy this album.

You have to do wait get their first album or humans which came out a couple years ago

I would really love to hear what you have to say about humanz by gorillaz, even though it isn’t a favorite among people I think there are a really good few songs on there that give it a chance!! 🥰♥️

I know humanz is disliked by a lot of people, but if anything it introduced me to a lot of artists I otherwise wouldn't have heard. If you check it out, at least listen to it for that. Benjamin Clementine is a great singer, and I wouldn't have heard of him without Gorillaz.

You should react to King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard!!!

Listen to blurryface ablum by Twenty one pilots!!!!!

To Binge is by far one of the most depressing songs from Gorillaz.
