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. Again, very sadistic moves being made from the labels.

Amarillo is actually one of their most thoughtful tracks. It feels and sounds like Amarillo on an overcast fall morning, or evening. 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.

I was already a teenager when Gorrilaz formed and loved them, but lost touch a bit over the next two decades. Having children has made me see them in a new way, they connect with young kids like no other band. Just the fact they’re animated draws them in, it has exposed my kids to so many diverse styles of music their age group would never have been into. Makes me wish I’d been a child when I first saw them.

Damon is a rock genius and deserves every sort of acclaim he's gotten and more

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.

Even though people didn’t really like Humanz, I still consider it to be one of the best things Gorillaz ever produced. For me, the collaborations don’t really overashadow Damon, in this case, we can see a perfect symbiosis between guests and Albarn. I really enjoy its vibe, the album feels like a complete creation, a perfect building, in which you can’t really take any bricks out, as it will fall apart. In the end, Humanz is everything Gorillaz is all about: mixing different genres, doing something unusual and making it sound fantastic.

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!

@@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

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

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

I love that the characters were kept, because the music changes every song 2D, Noodle, Murdoc and Russel keep the familiarity aspect and we can love them as individuals.

Enjoyed the video, but I couldn't help but notice that quite a few British Gorillaz collaborators didn't get a mention. So, fellow countrymen, take a bow: Johnny Dankworth, Shaun Ryder, Roots Manuva, Bashy, Kano, Gruff Rhys, Mark.E.Smith, Noel Gallagher, Benjamin Clementine and Skepta.

Definitely my favorite band. No matter what they post no matter a rap or rock cover, it’s got groove and funk in each entry and I can vibe with each one

I saw Gorillaz last fall and it's one of my top favorite concerts I've been to. It was a long show but they played a great mix of old and new. Everyone was dancing and singing the entire time. I loved it! If you get a chance to see them live, do it!

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

That first album changed my whole life. I didn't even KNOW you could make music like that. A zombie hip-hop punk rock dance party, wtf?

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!

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

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. My 3 year old is absolutely hypnotized by the music videos and he loves the music attached to them. Gorillaz are just unstoppable and I am always looking forward to what comes next

its so funny how oh yeah mister krabs is sampled in "Ascension" 😭😭

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.

Lake Zurich is the peak of summer music

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

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

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

Every weekend at work I blast the entirety of their first two albums on our stereo. They have a little bit of something for everyone in their music. I've done this for over a year now with absolutely no complaints from my coworkers.

Yaaa finally i've been waiting for this video for forever, i love the diversity of their music and been a fan since i heard one of their songs for the first time

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

That was the smoothest transition into a sponsor I’ve ever seen. Holy moly

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

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

Been one of my top 5 bands since I first heard their demo in 2000. Awesome video.

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.

while english resources may be difficult for research, Japanese visual-kei airband Golden Bomber are a fun example of bands that aren't bands.

Lets go baby, new banger here for sure

Smooth af on the sponsor transition ngl

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

One of my favorite bands. Since 2001 till infinity
