| 2.0 poor | Alabaster Jones | October 2nd 14 | I'm sure I'm not the only one who believes that Gorillaz had a very anticlimactic end to their storied career. It's not even that The Fall is that bad of an album, but it's just so pedestrian. It feels so uninspired, uninterested even. There are no tracks on the album that are really hate-able, but only a few that are enjoyable. It's just there, just kind of in the background not really doing or saying anything. It reeks of wasted potential, as we all know they're capable of much better. It doesn't even feel like a Gorillaz record, because whereas Demon Days and their self-titled were as innovative as they were fun, The Fall is neither of them, just banal and boring. It almost makes me wish that Damon Albarn would resurrect the project just to give it the ending it truly deserved.

| 1.5 very poor | HereComesTheStorm33 | January 7th 11 | Seriously? I hate boring music, and this is more than boring in my opinion, although i consider the second half of the album better than the first. Still, this is a poor and uncreative piece of music. Won't listen again.

| 0.0 | Bulldog | December 27th 10 | It's a free album that was made in various hotel rooms with an iPad over the course of a thirty-two day tour. What the fuck were you expecting?

| 3.5 great | Urinetrouble | December 25th 10 | Gorillaz put out another somewhat decent release. Granted, its too synth-heavy like Plastic Beach, but the sounds are more eclectic and it has a mix of some of their earlier sounds in there too. good enough, 3.5/5

| 2.0 poor | Mitch | March 20th 23 | The only thing on here worth listening to is Amarillo. It's inoffensive, and didn't piss me off, so I'll give it a generous 2 and not a 1.5.

| 2.0 poor | NarlusKing123 | March 3rd 23 | Some how the most striped down Gorillaz record feels the most bloated. This should have been an EP and is the first of many missteps in their catalogue for the next decade.

| 2.1 poor | Erwann S. EMERITUS | February 21st 22 | Made on an iPad, huh? Beware, Rhodes, Apple is coming for ya!!! Album mostly sounds rubbish and amateurish, with almost all tracks overstaying their (not-so) welcome.

| 2.5 average | Notospotify | June 10th 18 | For me, only a few tracks stands out, but man that they are great!rRevolving door is a fun and catchy tune, bobby in pheonix as a fantastic guitar riff plus the soulful voice of bobby womack. Amarillo is a great sad little ballad. And also one of my favourite gorillaz track ever is from this album: the parish of space dust, what an uplifting and beautiful track. It doesn?t last for too long but it is enough to me. The problem is the rest: boring, empty and uninspiring tracks that are just loop of bleepy bloopy sounds or just ridiculousness(the speak it moutains and seattle yodel)

| 3.0 good | Nathaniel | October 9th 17 | Seriously suffers from a lack of ideas, there are some class tracks in here but most float by like a vapid daydream, or in some cases like a fart with those awful bass synths.
Bump |
| 2.5 average | MTLNLTLOFDTH1289 | May 19th 16 | This album has a few great tracks (such as Revolving Doors,Amarillo,and Bobby In Phoenix),but is otherwise forgettable. Easily the most lacking Gorillaz album to date.

| 2.0 poor | Britch2tiger | February 11th 16 | Even considering how the album was created via iPad, this is a rather disappointment of potential that was squandered for an over-repetitive trip-hop album. There may be only a hand full of "eh" tracks (2, 6, and 9), but that's not enough to motivate many listeners to hear this (mostly instrumental) album. At least this album was free...

| 3.0 good | AjaxGuerre | May 14th 15 | The Fall works well as aural art, but not so well as actual music. The tracks fit smoothly together and a common theme is evident. However, on the musicality front, the songs are not very intriguing. The album is littered with experimental noise that doesn't quite sooth the ear in the way previous Gorillaz albums have. It is, in a way, the anti-Plastic Beach. While Plastic Beach felt like a unsure collection of good songs, The Fall feels like an intricate weave of passable music.
Bump |
| 0.0 | | August 20th 14 | It's not as illustrious as Demon Days or cinematic like Plastic Beach, but this pet project isn't as horrid as everyone else makes it out to be. The minimalistic approach that The Fall has going for it is actually quite soothing, and it's interesting how Damon Albarn recorded all of the album via iPad.

| 2.0 poor | VOTED most underrated user (2016, 2020) | March 14th 14 | The Fall: such a fitting album name. This album is complete waste of time and it documents the fall of a great band. The recording sound is flat and its no surprise that this was made on an iPad. The songs are monotonous and utterly pointless, as most of them just repeat the same screeching electronic dribble for a few minutes before fading into the next song that sounds identical to the last. The highlight of the entire thing is "Revolving Doors" which is thankfully the second track, but even this song would be a forgotten filler track on any other Gorillaz CD. When I bought Plastic Beach when it first came out, I gave it a 2/5 and almost despised it, but I have grown to like it alot and it now has a 4/5. I highly, highly doubt this will ever happen to The Fall.

| 3.5 great | AltPunkMetal101 | November 19th 11 | I don't get why this is so lowly rated. It's far from perfect, but I find it to be highly enjoyable electronic music. By far not my favorite from Gorillaz (that's still Demon Days), but this still is in my rotation.

| 2.0 poor | sonicExplorer | December 29th 10 | I have to say it's one of the most boring albums I've ever listened to. And this is the band (guy?) that's supposed to break down musical barriers and give us something completely new and exciting: my personally crazy gorillaz faves are sound check, dirty harry, and empire ants, all completely unique. The only tracks I really enjoyed were Revolving Doors and Amarillo. I hope a true follow up for plastic beach will come soon.

| 3.5 great | Strider | December 27th 10 | A Great release, but I do believe that they could have done more in the vocal department. still, a good listen when you just want to chill out.
Bump |
| 3.0 good | Raul Stanciu STAFF | December 25th 10 | A good album but there are too many instrumentals, and that's a shame because the best songs are the ones sung by Albarn (Amarillo and HillBilly Man are great)
