Most albums other than that though have definitely just been cash grabs from the labels. It all just seems very sadistic considering that the best thing (from the perspective of the labels) that artists and primarily rappers can do to boost their career and streaming numbers is to, well, die.

It's one of the most sung about cities in American music, but is the best representation of it. The only part that doesn't fully work is "I got lost on the highway" as the streets are nothing compared to other cities, but then the whole city feels lost.

YES it gets way too much band-wagon hate as I would call it. It’s a special album to me because from the very first time I heard it in full, knowing the general idea of the themes it was trying to tell, along with the song visualizers and everything combined to make such a clear picture of the non-existent movie to go along with the album. It truly brings you in and immerses you to the point I can imagine each and every song’s location and story as the band is traveling to and then going up a skyscraper full of end of the world parties on each floor like Damon mentioned was the idea for the record in some interviews. Including the Deluxe bonus tracks! That continues the story and theme into an Epilogue of sorts. Though it’s still not my favorite of their albums overall it’s the only one that created such a clear picture of the story for me to follow along like that, of any album really!

@neitherpoet

Жыл бұрын

@@RefMr the idea of an end of the world party was honestly so freaking cool, and i adore the pure story telling of each song. i 100000% agree with you on the band-wagon hate, it truly does get too much hate, and i think its because people were expecting an album full of "feel good inc."s, "clint eastwood"'s and "rhinestone eyes"'s, rather than examining and understanding that past gorillaz albums were all a bit different in their own rights, and that this album was no different. its unique sound and the visualisers, as well as the music videos tie together to form a trippy, apocalyptic mood that sets the tone for the time period and year it was released. i love that in the albums, they included the little interludes that were also present in plastic beach, and to me it felt like the "in between" floors, changing directions and getting closer to the end, and i *love* it

Damon took such a huge creative risk and it paid off. The fact that some people who listen to the band don't even remember who he is, also speaks about his humbleness. He's just happy giving hits after hits.

I remember first hearing Feel Good Inc in middle school on the local radio. I was obsessed and Demon Days was the first physical album I ever owned. Crazy that after all these years they are still producing fresh music that manages to capture that wonder I had.

They're absolutely a real band with a rotating roster and animated visual representation. Still, there's a group of real people performing together to make that music

The gorillaz are like real gorilla's, you just love watching them, the difference being one is fake and makes amazing music like tomorrow comes today

Reality is Damon is the most real artist there is. NEVER lip-syncs, sounds just as good if not better live and even slightly alters ewrlch performance to prove and demonstrate live singing. Absolute respect for Damon.

I consider Damon to be one of most creative musicians of our times, his solo stuff is also great. A true genius.

I must be the biggest fan of The Fall. I love Damian’s take on an ambient album and find many of the songs quite beautiful. I find myself singing “California and the Slipping of the Sun” frequently.

When you're basically not a real band but also the most successful and longest running art project ever to exist. Extremely unique while maintaining a high level of output.

Thank you for another amazing video! I knew when I clicked here I would hear a concise and informative history of one of my favorite "bands", I recommend that you give The Now Now another patient listen. Its an album that I keep returning to, because of its chill second half which is perfect for relaxing and zoning out. Kansas, Idaho and Magic City are all mellow bangers. I'm not sure why this album was slept on, but its every bit as good as anything that they've (he's) ever done. I think that the lesser amount of features on this album led people to skim through it, but to me it just proves that Damon can make great music with or without other talented artists that he wants to work with. Also, the new album is absolute fire, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Have a good one!

Tis the smoothest transition to a promo I’ve seen so far, and at the end of the vid instead of beginning or very annoyingly midway through. Mad props

"decided to *blur* the lines between music and art" I don't know if that was intentional but that was good

Damon Albarn. Being a Oasis fan there was little feud between blur so we’d talk shit on blur stupid hard. The homie was playin blur the other day we kept with the tradition then the homie busted out you know the lead singer of blur is the same dude in gorillaz.😂😂🤣🤣🤣 we were so blown away. What a change in music style and delivery on the part of Damon. Really interesting to switch genre’s in a drastic way like that.

I overlooked Humanz when it first came out, but I find myself going back to it more then any other album

Gorillaz and Tame Impala is just un amazing combination

Damon is a absolute geneus i could care less what people think and together with Jamie's Art style and visuals makes them together a Super force of imagination and purely Original it doesn't matter what set genre you claim to enjoy over another at the end of the day Gorillaz seems to have somthing for you and has also expanded your music library to genre's you would have never thought of ever experiencing.

I didn't know people disliked the visual element of them being animated, that's a massive part of the vehicle the music is carried through.

I can confidently say that Plastic Beach is one of the most ambitious and significant releases of the 21st century. A vital checkpoint in music history, and pop culture. UPDATE: just bought it on vinyl today, and met someone whose brother plays live with gorillaz on backup vocals. The 6 connection rule is real. Literally, Me > My friend who works at the store > A customer at the store who I became friends with > his brother > Damon Albarn. My conclusion is that the world can be a small place. Today was the most Gorillaz day ever.

I tried to explain this to my friends like 15 years ago how this band was basically an animated cartoon band and the human musicians that play their live shows are the guys doing the soundtrack of the Gorillaz movies. Kind of how Pink Floyd is technically the surrogate band that made the soundtrack to The Wall. They were like "what?" until there was that falling out between Damon and the graphic artist after Plastic Beach that led him to do Everyday Robots and reunite with Blur during the hiatus. Then it became obvious that yeah, Gorillaz IS the cartoon band. There is NO Gorillaz without the animations and videos.

Gorillaz first album came out when I was in 3rd Grade, Demon Days when I was in Middle School, and Plastic Beach came out the year I graduated High School.

I think one of the most interesting things about Gorillaz is that even if they're not quote on quote a "real band" and even if their music pulls from a bunch of different genres, I feel like I can almost always recognize their songs. There is clearly a unified and consistent vision amongst all that variance and flexibility they've built for themselves.

I feel The Now Now is severely underrated. Loads of greats tracks

How do you take a virtual live and stay true to form? Simple! You take the musicians who recorded the music and form a cover band with the cover not being the music, but the band members themselves!

Fun fact that album was released a day before my birthday but I was so excited for it

I’ll never forget being about 6-7 years old and DARE was the first song I ever really fell in love with

ur editing is so beautiful to watch

Demon Days is one of the greatest albums ever made in my opinion.

Ngl that was they craziest transition into a in video ad, I didn’t even realize it happened until you were talking about the sponsor

I love the art of the band as it gives off a more mature version to those cartoon shows that most people watch as a kid.

Lets go baby, new banger here for sure

The Fall has some of the best songs I love from the Gorillaz, it still hits home

I Still can't get over how the singer of Gorrilaz is the same guy singing for Blur. So if you ever heard their classic "Song 2" and thought the voice is strangely familiar. Now you know why.

I don't know why g-sides and d-sides aren't considered gorillaz albums... they have lots of great songs on them and just beacouse they have some mixes of old songs on them, don't make them a full grown lp's somehow :(

Is g side & d-sides the names l should search when I look for the music you’re talking about? I apologize for the dumb question. I just never heard about it before.

G-Sides and D-Sides are essentially bonus tracks from the first Gorillaz album (G) and Demon Days (D) and were recorded at the same time as them with several released before hand, they weren't really made to be Albums but more of compilations of songs that didn't quite make the cut and don't necessarily need a mention. Think of them more as a extra disc to those albums, still great regardless.

I have loved gorillaz since clint Eastwood. Absolute genius band. I do feel that you've missed out on the other virtual bands though, especially the rise of vocaloids. Would love to see you do a video on then next

wasn't expecting a Gorillaz video but i appreciate it vary. Love this band

I remember when I was a little kid seeing the music video for feel good inc on MTV. It felt like something magical

I still think the problem with Humanz and The Now Now is the amount of filler songs. If the best of both records had been one solid album, it would've been a fantastic comeback and return to form a la Plastic Beach. I mean, Saturnz Bars, Andromeda, Tranz and Hollywood for example are great songs.

I waited for years to have a Gorillaz vid made by Middle 8, thank god its finally here

that was smoothest transition into a sponsor i've ever experienced

Was so hoping you'd mention Desole 🙏 ty

You forgot to note that Cracker Island features Thundercat on bass and backup vocals
