I am genuinely curious what showtek's tastes in music are.
[QUOTE=showtek;47054275]Gorillaz is probably one of the groups i'm most disgusted. The art and the style of the funky songs they make still stops me from even trying to enjoy them to this day. I have completely no idea how you guys support this or even enjoy it.[/QUOTE]
No one cares.
Hopefully they'll finish the rhinestone eyes music video along with this.
[QUOTE=Limed00d;47053314]Is that Plastic Beach exploration thing they had still up on their website?.[/QUOTE]
Shit I remember that and the old studio one. It's honestly amazing how much time was put into them, they were basically their own point and click adventure games entirely online with an INSANE amount of hidden stuff, references, ect.
Fuck yeah. I knew they were going to come back, but it was starting to look grim. Plastic Beach was fucking terrible compared to their first two albums and that would be a really sad note to go out on for such a great band.
I liked Plastic Beach...

I'm not going to dismiss your opinion like some other guys here, I'm just going to ask why you really don't like Gorillaz? It seems like all the "problems" you have with it are really the things people like most about it. How is being funky a bad thing? :v:

because he likes hardstyle

It felt unfinished to me, and it lacked all the creativity that made the first two albums so memorable.
It wasn't a bad album, it had a few good songs, but [I]compared[/I] to the first two LP's I thought it was extremely lackluster.

I feel like Plastic Beach is the only Gorillaz album I can listen to from beginning to end without skipping a few songs.
[QUOTE=Monkey san;47055443]His youtube name contains "Hardstyle" in it.
And judging by soundcloud he loves hardstyle.
That should explain everything.[/QUOTE]
I love hardstyle, UK hardcore, Gorillaz, and Pink Floyd.
am
hyped

To each his own, of course. It just didn't feel like a Gorillaz album to me. The only songs I liked were Melancholy Hill and Stylo and both of those were nothing compared to Clint Eastwood, Gravity, M1A1, Tomorrow Comes Today, and everything on Demon Days. If they released another album on par with Demon Days I'd be a happy man.
I liked that sort of surreal, demented style that the first two albums had.

Plastic Beach was good but it had too many cameos. Half the songs feature different artists, and I didn't come to hear people who aren't the Gorillaz. It wasn't even like D-Sides where they got other musicians to work with them remixing old songs, it was more like "X artist with backing music by Gorillaz".
The songs that didn't have other artists, or feature them too heavily, were still really good.
True, Plastic Beach deviated from what Gorillaz usually makes, but that's what makes it a winner in my eyes. It felt fresh.

That and I didn't like any of the artists they featured. All the featured artists on Demon Days were top notch but I had never heard of many of the ones from Plastic Beach and they all sounded terrible.

I feel kind of the opposite, the diversity is what makes Gorillaz so awesome.
If you've listened to any of Damon Albarn's other music, he's all about collaborating with really good, and not often well known, musicians.
I found out about Little Dragon, Man.i.fest, and Del the Funky Homosapien (Deltron 3030 by extension) through all the collabs that Gorillaz/Albarn did.

P. Beach's 1st and 2nd track are the best intro tracks for an album that I've ever heard IMHO
Yeah, I like that each album they've done is very thematically unique. Gorillaz is different than Demon Days and both are different then Plastic Beach.
I feel Plastic Beach bay have overdone it with the collabs, but I really appreciate them stepping out of the comfort zone to a much greater extent than they'd already done in the past.
I like the guest rappers.
I loved Plastic Beach's sailing theme, reminded me of some of the songs on In the Court of the Crimson King.
Some Kind of Nature was A+
I am so ready.

RIP
Gravit-ay-y-y-y-y-y, on me, never let me down, gently...
Wasn't this confirmed a couple months ago?
Gorillaz always managed to incorporate so many elements from many genres while still being innovative and accessible. It is truly amazing.
I wonder if there will ever be a phases 3/4 follow up to Rise of the Ogre
I want their new album to have some kind of follow up to Melancholy Hill, that song is without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
