Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off
cool album. I'm not sure that the Gorillaz are less defined because of all the guest vocals.....as I think it sort of builds a community for their own 'plastic beach' world
empire ants and rhinestone eyes are just dope tracks....but I question whether I can keep listening to the whole album over and over

I couldn't disagree more with the negative reviews of this. Demon Days was excellent, but the overall theme behind this album comes together really well and represents a step up, for me, anyway. Bobby Womack is terrific on this, and I love the Lou Reed song Some Kind of Nature. This album comes off smooth and well-done, I'm a big fan of it

I disagree. Here's a quote from Damon Albarn: "Gorillaz now to us is not like four animated characters any more — it's more like an organisation of people doing new projects. [...] That's my ideal model — Gorillaz is a group of people who gave you this, and now want to give you new stuff."
Gorillaz is not a "band", it has no "identity." It is, as Albarn so perfectly puts it, a project.
"For a band who were so fun and unique on their first couple of records..." I think that the diverse array of guest vocalists make this album unique. It's a weird album. Get over it. Gorillaz is a weird musical project. "Albarn said in September 2008 that he wanted "to work with an incredibly eclectic, surprising cast of people..."
And by the way, this is NOT a concept album about global warming. It is a concept album about our overuse of plastic. True, it does have to do with bad effects on our environment, but the word "environment" does not equal "global warming." I put global warming in quotes here because I know there are different views on whether on not it actually exists, so I'm just trying to stay as neutral as possible.
As much as I disagree about the content of this review, it was very well written. Good job.

I'm just going to say that I respectfully disagree with your article in some points while I agree with others. I would say that this album deserves a 3.5 - 4. He said that he had planned to make a bit of a pop album in the first place, so we all knew he (Damon) would be going in an awkward direction. It's sound is very different from the other Gorillaz albums, but have we ever known Damon Alburn to be a man to stay with any one particular style? I mean, compare "Demon Days" to "13" by blur, then either of those to "The Good, the Bad, and the Queen."

this album has me in two mind sets..stylo, empire ants and superfast jellyfish are pretty great songs actually, but the rest of it, as you said is, "oh and HERE comes mark. e smith. followed by..uh oh! bloody hell, it's only lou reed!". i can't really be arsed being so deliberately duped and surprised through an album, when i got it i saw all those names on the back and i immediately assumed that it would equal wonderfulness, but obviously didn't. feels dated already.
but in another way i feel like i just enjoy some of the tracks on it. it's not shit but it's certainly their worst album by some distance.
