Post by: chronovore on March 02, 2010, 06:13:53 PM: It may be old news to everyone else, but I'm stunned. Didn't they say they were done with albums, and that "Gorillaz" was a group label they'd put on other projects which were not even likely to be music?

Title: Re: I didn't know there was a new gorillaz album coming out!
Post by: Himu on March 04, 2010, 12:45:22 AM: So I've been listening between self-titled, G-Sides and Demon Days lately.

G-Sides is easily the best Gorillaz album. The EP format benefits the album greatly because one common problem with Gorillaz albums is that they are overly long, typically over 15 tracks. I'm of the opinion that lean albums are better. self-titled and Demon Days, although awesome, have a shit ton of filler and average tracks. G-Sides is awesome from beginning to end.

I haven't listened to all of their new album yet, but I like what I've heard. Here's hoping it's a more consistent album than their previous LPs. Because if it is and it's nearly as good as G-Sides, this will be album of the year material.

Second best.

Just dled Plastic Beach though, so I'll see where that ranks later.

Post by: OptimoPeach on March 04, 2010, 01:28:49 PM: PD sux, this is hawt. No Demon Days, but it still has plenty of good tracks. Rhinestone Eyes, Stylo, Empire Ants, Some Kind of Nature, Plastic Beach, To Binge, and Cloud of Unknowing are my favorites. Only songs I can't sit through are are White Flag (cuz of the guest spots; grime is for feggits), Glitter Freeze (boring centerpiece and a waste of Mark E. Smith), and Sweepstakes.

The whole album makes me want to get stoned out of my mind and drive around aimlessly lol

I was gonna hate on your post, but I realized that I'd be a hypocrite since I hate most bands because the lead singer usually either sounds like he had his balls cut off or like he's possessed by the devil.

G-Sides? Really?

Yep. Lean album, full of good tunes, very little filler.

[youtube=560,345]ondpLxoRJuk[/youtube]
[youtube=560,345]93-IbSzXzlk[/youtube]

Lean album with good tracks >>>>>> Overly long album with filler and *some* great tracks
Title: Re: I didn't know there was a new gorillaz album coming out!
Post by: Robo on March 04, 2010, 03:07:10 PM: If that doesn't qualify as filler, it's only because there's nothing to fill in around, save for maybe "Ghost Train". It's a compilation of leftover filler! And I don't particularly care for any of the remixes.
Title: Re: I didn't know there was a new gorillaz album coming out!
Post by: Himu on March 04, 2010, 03:09:26 PM: What I consider filler is "something I want to skip".

I don't want to skip anything in G-Sides.

And I must say, I'm not big on the rap heavy tracks in Gorillaz albums aside from Clint Eastwood because of Del. I even don't like the song in Demon Days that has MF Doom on it.
Title: Re: I didn't know there was a new gorillaz album coming out!
Post by: Himu on March 04, 2010, 03:14:35 PM: The more I listen to Plastic Beach the more I like it.

And the more I listen to it, I keep thinking,"This would be so much better if these rappers were not on it."

:(
Title: Re: I didn't know there was a new gorillaz album coming out!
Post by: Robo on March 04, 2010, 03:45:22 PM: I think the nature of this sort of collaborative project lends itself to filler. I suppose that when you get a bunch of musicians and artists that you personally respect together to appear on your album, it's difficult to reject the stuff they're featured on, even if it's bad.

Glitter Freeze isn't a great track, but it has fucking Mark E. Smith on it; if you're Damon Albarn or any other fan of The Fall, you're probably not gonna scrap it regardless.

Then again, that doesn't explain White Light, so what do I know?
Title: Re: I didn't know there was a new gorillaz album coming out!
Post by: Himu on March 04, 2010, 03:50:47 PM: Glitter Freeze isn't great but I still really like it.

You mean White Flag?

White Flag is still better than Welcome to the World and Sweepstakes.
Title: Re: I didn't know there was a new gorillaz album coming out!
Post by: Himu on March 04, 2010, 03:54:22 PM: God Sweepstakes sucks.

"Shut up Mos, lemme hear the beat!"
Title: Re: I didn't know there was a new gorillaz album coming out!
Post by: OptimoPeach on March 04, 2010, 04:05:18 PM: White Flag is far and away the worst song on the album. Can't even understand what the fuck those clowns are saying half the time. But yeah, Sweepstakes is still pretty bad
Title: Re: I didn't know there was a new gorillaz album coming out!
Post by: Himu on March 04, 2010, 04:08:01 PM: I at least like the beat in White Flag, but Sweepstakes is bad all around.
Title: Re: I didn't know there was a new gorillaz album coming out!
Post by: Robo on March 04, 2010, 04:14:01 PM: I meant White Light on Demon Days, which is inarguably the most skippable track on that album and isn't a collaborative effort.

I really like Welcome to the World of Plastic Beach even if Snoop is totally phoning it in. The production on that track is particularly well done.

White Flag is alright. I dig the strings, but the rapping is pretty bad.
Title: Re: I didn't know there was a new gorillaz album coming out!
Post by: Himu on March 04, 2010, 04:27:48 PM: Songs I love:

- Orchestral Intro
- Rhinestone Eyes
- Stylo
- Superfast Jellyfish
- Empire Ants (!!!)
- Glitter Freeze
- Broken
- Plastic Beach
- To Binge
- Pirate's Progress

Songs I like:

- Welcome to the World (please supply an instrumental without Snoop rapping, please)
- White Flag (nice bongo, strings, and general instrumentation but the rapping sucks balls, please give us an instrumental!)

Songs like Cloud of Unknowing, Pirate Jet, Sweepstakes, Some Kind of Nature, On Melancholy Hill add nothing to the album, and in fact, I'm of the opinion that Pirate Jet and Cloud of Unknowing are the worst possible ways period to end the album.

A lot of tracks are good but their order could be better. For instance. Rhinestone Eyes would benefit being right after Welcome to the World, and The Binge would be the best overall track to end the album and then let Pirate's Progress finalize the album. Considering Pirate's Progress is only on the Japanese version of the album apparently, I can't IMAGINE Pirate Jet being this album's "official' end track. It's too forgettable.

If you condensed the album to the songs I listed in the love category, this album would really benefit.

Also, I love White Light. :(

Can't say I liked the rapping on this album in general. De La's song is lack luster to me, the British rappers sound too corny for me, and then there's Snoop eh. Danger Mouse's absence is disappointing.

Rhinestone Eyes :bow
Some King of Nature :bow
Empire Ants is alright
Stylo *nods head*
