I enjoy this well enough, but those sorts of ratings are more suited to Song Machine, the post-PB album that most lives up to their first 3 imo

Album Rating: 4.0

Possession Island is slowly sneaking into my top Gorillaz songs, it's the hidden gem on this for me. That little piano melody is wonderful.

Album Rating: 2.5

Considering how good Song Machine was (I gave the album a 4 - I find it super fun and dance-like), this here truly feel like a b-sides, rarities and demos compilation. Disappointing is the word.

Album Rating: 4.0

I don’t hear it at all. This is a concise selection of blinders. Better than Plastic Beach although there are better tunes on Beach, better than Humanz I haven’t really listened to much else to be fair other than the debut and Demon Days which this isn’t as good as.

“ Better than Plastic Beach”

Nonce take

Stylo and Melancholy Hill are monumental the rest is a typical hotchpotch of superficial film-flam the kind the band go for.

Perfect description of this album

Album Rating: 4.0

Call me schlong. Rhinestone Eyes is shite

Ants is alright there’s better to be found on here.



This band came together in order to parody the superficiality of pop and the industry in general. The whole premise was to create a false, disposable, synthetic world in which tunes were manufactured and augmented by commercial gimmick and ‘artists’ who could carry the theme whether it be those with current appeal or ironically given the plastic environment.



The purpose was to take the piss and create mass appeal ear worms.



They succeeded. This album adds to it. It’s great.

I completely agree anat I just think this has the tunes. Then again i couldn’t quite understand the hate for Humanz either I loved that when it came out as well.

I always thought Gorillaz as a concept had more to do with the early 2000s internet boom. Launching a CGI "virtual band" at that time just seems very logical in hindsight.

Album Rating: 1.5 | Sound Off

They were definitely conceived as a way of showing how little of substance you really needed to create a ‘band’ and how cynically you could create an ‘image’ for them.



But then I imagine it became a little less about ramming home that point as time went on and the hits were very good.



They became Albarn’s golden goose really, his main gig.
