Easily one of my favorite albums of all time....I can't explain it....just love it. It' sounds old and new....combines genres of music and has legendary guests.... it's a masterpiece.
I usually don't listen to this album as much as the others, not because it's bad...it's far from it, but because it makes me cry from how good it is (Melancholy Hill and Empire Ants in particular).
This album came out when I was 15 and I downloaded Up On Melancholy Hill on my iPod ❤ but now at 28, I’m listening to this album fully and it feels like my life right now. Damn. So good. This has got to be one of the greatest albums of the 21st century
I remember when this album came out. Everyone said it was weak. Maybe because Gorlliaz had 99/2000 and Clint Eastwood and Demon Days had Feel Good Inc., Dare and Dirty Harry but look at the other tracks those albums had especially the beloved first album; Gorlliaz, you can't say that was as strong song by song even if it did have those couple of bangers. Empire Ants, Plastic Beach, Some Kind of Nature... none of these tracks get the love they deserve because they are "mainstream' but they take us away to different places and emotions. It's refreshing to see this album in 2023 get the props it deserves when I remember when it came out people wanted popcorn, this album isn't no popcorn, you have to experience the beauty and genius of a lot of these tracks over time.
this album is too powerfull it can make you cry smile laugh gasp or even shock you.Every song is unique and gives you different tipes of chills there is something soo special that makes this album sooo good.
Today is 13th anniversary of Plastic Beach. I feel so incredibly dumb for not appreciating this album sooner than I did. I was more so a Demon Days fan obsessed with Feel Good Inc, and Clint Eastwood fan. But now after listening through Gorillaz’s discography, this might actually be No.1 for me now. I’m really impressed with David Albarns work on this. From Superfast Jellyfish to Empire Ants, and to On melancholy hill. Sweepstakes is underrated. Empire Ants makes me wanna tear up ๐·°(৹˃̵﹏˂̵৹)°·๐ No.1 Plastic Beach No. 2 Demon Days No. 3 The Now Now Update: Yesterday was the 14th anniversary of Plastic Beach. I don’t have much else to add, I don’t listen to Gorillaz as often as I use to but I still love them regardless. It’s crazy how much I been through since I left this comment. I went through how painful unrequited love is and I never wish for someone to go through it, it’s been 3 months and I feel only now that I’m healing again, i still wish me and her could see each other again. As of writing this I said goodbye to her 30 minutes ago and feel a little empty in my heart. But it’s fine I’ll find someone who will appreciate my efforts and love. It hurts but you just have to keep moving forward. Happy Birthday Plastic Beach. 2:51pm March 4 24 Monday
In my opinion, Pirate Jet is not only the best ending to this album but possibly even the best song in this album, it plays in my head over, and over, and over again. But, I never get sick of it.
Every time I listen to this album I make sure I am able to most likely listen to the whole thing without being interrupted. It's so Click-Clackin', Crackalackin' delicious...
All there stuff has and in another 15 or 20 years there will be the same comments about their last 4 more recent records including the brand new one cracker island which I realize may be an unpopular opinion atm but confident it will age well as it is still there sig aesthtic and will make a brand new Gen of kids into super fans. I think people are partial to the album that they first discovered regardless and biased against anything that is different than that one that's most special to them with a lot of people. A lot of negative comments about the new one but I think it's masterful in how it begins and progresses grabbing your hand with the very first notes and taking you on the entire journey of the album giving just as a unique experience as that happened to me and I had with their very first drop 20 years ago. Been a huge fan from the beginning guess life and busy adulting is maybe why I lost track and never heard there amazing progressive more recent work. It's been fun revisiting their entire catalog discovering the new stuff and going back to the foundations they have built on theouout their extraordinary careers amd albums. Think I'll be on a gorillaz kick for awhile. There are no bad albums or songs !hahhah
everyone calls good artists ahead of their time, but Gorillaz is that in a different way. thats why theyve always been so popular. their lyrics and sound will never stop fitting to a time ahead of when they were released.
Plastic Beach definitely my favourite album I love how all of the songs go together. Also my favourite song is definitely Superfast Jellyfish because I love how odd it sounds if you don't like that song I will say give it a couple listens because it can be grower for some people.
@@jolopolo4761 Many artists record a ton of demos but only decide to finish a few to put on the album. Yeah 70 is maybe a little bit much but many artists do that. You can listen to them by the way (I don’t know if all 70 but a lot of them). There isn’t an official side album like with Gorillaz and Demon Days but they were unofficially released and they are people who tried to make an album out of it and called it Sea-Sides. A few are uploaded to Spotify but there are videos on UA-cam.
@@jolopolo4761there's was supposed to be more song on plastic beach but they never release and became lost media which have 70 lost song on plastic beach, including the remix.
This album sounds like the ost of a Studio Ghibli film. Besides the theme of environmental hazards, it also contains calm and blissful songs like On Melancholy Hill and Empire Ants.
me and my best friend were on mushrooms and joked that white flag's intro was like an RPG game soundtrack and laughed for like 20 minutes. god i miss those days
@@miunya L M A O imagine reading one passing comment on a youtube video and thinking you have the *entire human race* figured out. I don't really do mushrooms anymore, and my life is equally as grand and full of laughter; was just reminiscing on a memory, as music tends to inspire. Secondly, humans aren't the only species to experiment with hallucinogenic drugs found in nature, so it's not really a "humans being sad" thing, as it is a curiosity of a majority of sentient species..... Thanks for your incredibly shallow philosophical musings though, babe. Just say you think you're better than people who experiment with psychedelics and move on; we all know you're thinking it. It's incredible to me that I was recalling a positive memory, and you made a conscious effort to make it a bad thing, but somehow everyone around you is sad? Edit: you should read up on the psychological benefits of psilocybin. might change your perspective on the human condition, or just assist in removing whatever is up your ass
Vividly remember spring 2010 listening to this cd on repeat in my car. The buildup and transition at 20:40 is still as captivating as it was the first time I heard it
Listening to this album is one of the last fond memories I'll have about my best friend growing up.. Friendships, no matter how strong you think they currently are, can dissolve over time... '_'
Hey all my friends left me and I didn't even make friends till late middle school 😅 me and my best friends don't talk anymore idk what happened I try to reach out and they say hi and they stop talking there so yeah shit happens right. It's tuff for me right now but things will work out in the end have to keep hope
I've listened to the separate songs many many times but until now I never actually listened to the album in full as an intended experience and it's just.... How do you make an album this good? How?
The gorillas are a amazing artistcal cartoon characters coming to life and playing instruments. Who would of thought up such a great 👍 record of excellence. I love the way it tells you a story about how it is and how you feel about the situation. You don't just hear chords repeating over and over again. Excellence is hard to make. I don't know if anyone can make recordings like this. 🤔
This album is really good because there's 2 tracks that hit me right in the nostalgia. Sweepstakes has a Ratchet and Clank feel and Glitter Freeze is right out of the Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot DLC from Borderlands. While the Underdome DLC is one of their worse DLC's, it's still a fun arena shooter.
driving in my first car, learned how to drive in it with my ex, we listened to this album and Empire Ants will always remind me of getting baked in that car with the sun roof down cruising in the suburbs with her

Absolutely quality album. You've got good taste my friend.

people hates this when it came out , I went out and bought the cd back then and still love the journey the album takes you on.
I usually don't listen to this album as much as the others, not because it's bad...it's far from it, but because it makes me cry from how good it is (Melancholy Hill and Empire Ants in particular).
Exactly. You come back to this once a year or more and APPRECIATE it.
In the cloud of unknowing ... 🎶
Absolute bangers, reminds me of when I was 20
Its not that good is it 😭 like i grew up on gorillaz n brings back nostalgia but still hahaha

This is my favorite Gorillaz album. The songs are amazing, and the production quality is legendary.
damn. this hits different when you literally haven't listened to the album in several years now.
literallyyy the last time i listened to it was like 4 or 5 years ago
Well said and the album is ahead of its time as musicians do, thinking of our future 🙃
@@MonsterhighFREAK0 for me, it was its debut. had it on loop for days on end during those times.

But, I never get sick of it.
It's honestly super underrated
I can't believe it's taken me thirteen years to listen to this album. This shit was ahead of its time, oh my god.
18:39 the part when superfast jellyfish turn into empire ants
Every time I listen to this album I make sure I am able to most likely listen to the whole thing without being interrupted. It's so Click-Clackin', Crackalackin' delicious...
Such a misunderstood album among fans at first, but I think it's held up surprisingly well. Love it love it love it.

It could come out this year and still go insanely hard
One of the best albums ever made. Just an absolute masterpiece.
this album sounds soooo different with my skull candy head phones. It literally freaking rocks.
What model
try some vintage cerwin vegas and Jensens
Man I said the exact same thing... Like a decade ago. Glad to see they still make quality stuff
@@TheInsultInvestor this head phones have motors in them. so they vibrate with the base. it makes it seem like they are super loud

Demon Days
@carsonwentz8301 I really like Demon Days too
Crazy how this album would've been even bigger if they had the budget for it then cuz it's already one of my favorites of all time
Also, they had like 70 songs for Plastic Beach. This is just the tiny top of the iceberg. They just have too much talent to handle!

plastic beach gives a different vibe. its awesome.

10/10 album.

@jpouxfroug second half of sweepstakes goes crazy though
Has to be the BEST album ever made
I think that the first three Gorillaz albums are the best (no offence to the now now and cracker island)but the earlier ones just hit different
I think Song Machine was a return to form.
