Re: Plastic Beach

this might be the most excited I've been for an album in a long long time.

I prefer Stylo.

I think Gorillaz would be the perfect group if there wasn't any rapping!

Re: Plastic Beach

I usually hate rap, but the inclusion of rap in their songs is what really makes some of them good. Besides what they use always sounds more like 80s hiphop to me than modern rap. Old hiphop was some good stuff.

Re: Plastic Beach

Stylo is good, but Superfast is way catchier.

Also, Gorillaz is the perfect blend of pop rock and rap. Not like bands that throw rapping over metal riffs and other cheesy ****.

Hip hop is the real core of Gorillaz, and if you took away the rapping, you'd lose a lot of that.

Anyways, only a handful of their songs even have rapping, so you're good Mora.

edit: just finished downloading it, I'll give a more direct opinion when I'm finished.

Re: Plastic Beach

I found Stylo to be very catchy and Superfast to be very not good.

Re: Plastic Beach

Thought the first album was decent, but was not nearly as good as Deltron's 3030 album (it's pretty much 3/4 of the first Gorillaz album anyway, member-wise), and never ventured any further into their discography than that.

Re: Plastic Beach

I'd consider Demon Days better than the first. It gets bonus points for including Dennis Hopper reading a story and for having El Manana, which is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

Re: Plastic Beach

I kinda prefer the first album. I think I listened to the second album (singles not included) about twice.

Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite songs ever, and it's because of the rap part.

If it wasn't for Gorillaz and Run DMC...I wouldn't like ANY rap.



AWESOME.

Re: Plastic Beach

The more I listen to Deltron 3030, I think less and less of it. The beats are dull and I know Del could have taken more advantage of the the concept as a whole.

Gorillaz debut is I think leagues above either Demon Days or Plastic Beach. I can totally see how someone could prefer Demon Days though. Demon Days is a way more focused album. However, I think Plastic Beach delves a little too deep into rap, and despite that, manages to completely underuse Snoop on the opening track. Also, all the Damon only tracks are sooo dreary and melancholy, nothing like Rehash, 5/4, or M1A1 to really get moving to.

Re: Plastic Beach

I like dreary~

Re: Plastic Beach

I'm not spoiling the sound until I hear the whole album, but I did watch the vid muted.

And ****, I think they did it again. I ****ing love Gorillaz.
