what did you guys think of the silent running mv???
I honestly really liked it. I liked the Cracker Island music video but I definitely prefer the Silent Running music video and it gave some context to CI but I still don't know why Russell is so zonked or why Noodle is ok with Murdoc running a cult.
What did you think of it?
It doesnt really feel like a music video tbh
mid
i like seeing the characters interact with each other so i think it was really good :0
It felt like a movie.
I think 2D playing the guitar was even better fitting for the Now Now album since it was all about him kinda taking on this new persona and role since Murdoc was in prison. It makes sense he’s playing an instrument he’s not used to since he’s playing a role he’s not used to.
So basically, murdoc made him stick to vocals and keys in the previous phases. With murdoc In jail, 2D can play even more instruments and express his talent to the full limit.
2-D worked in an instrument shop so he probably already had a bit of experience
I always thought it was noodle
I can understand your dislike for Noodles design in phase 1 and the reason you dislike Noodles head for Song Machine is for the same reason, but for her SM head I never viewed it as that and saw it as her closing and scrunching her eyes because she's smiling, especially with how the lines for her closed eyes are curved, it just communicates that more to me.
Brilliant video though, keep it up!
I'm pretty sure she meant the skin color since there was a text mentioning how 2D's skin is weirdly pink.
@@margarethajoanna893 ooooooooh, I didn't even think about that, that’s fair enough and now looking at it, yeah that makes sense, thanks for pointing that out.
what bothers me is her skin color there. Why can’t she just be tan 😭
@@lonniegabbie yeah I’m Asian I don’t really see a problem with any of the designs (for phase one I’m just considering the times :p)
@@qulpinoasame! I might just be biased because I love gorillaz but I personally don’t have much of a problem with the phase one design. Although I obviously understand why others would as it’s very outdated and def could’ve depicted Asian people A LOT better
I think the one pro of the Now Now cover is that its at least recognizable. When I hear a song from the Now Now, I always think of the cover. When I hear a song from Song Machine, I just think of that one image where Russel’s playing the trumpet and Noodle has that tiger suit.
The whole island being a character is exactly how I felt, which is why it’s phase in the lore is my favorite, and when it got destroyed in The Lost Chord I actually felt genuine pain especially since it’s been so long since we saw it
if i got to choose the cracker island cover id pick that art of the bearded murdoc that was sick as fuck
Actually, I just think that Noodle is closer to the camera, so she looks big in perspective on G-Sides.
The Now Now is my favorite cover and album 😭
I honestly think the distortion is very fitting for the overall feel of the album
"make him look fucking disgusting" LMAOOOO
the now nows cover is fucking gorgeous WHATT
i haven't seen someone mention the racism within gorillaz like this in a video, i think that's pretty refreshing. i'm glad we're able to discuss how poorly noodle was handled. i like your ranking! i would've put plastic beach as number 1 tbh, but i respect putting demon days as the top too.
yeah same, i dont think i've ever seen someone else comment on Noodle's earlier designs because they are lowkey problematic. Im just glad they fixed it over time yk
Ok ngl the audios in between had me cackling
Bro the now now is like damn near the best one, too 3 for sure
It’s wonky cuz the music on the album is also wonky, chill feeling
Yes tranz is quite wonky
This video made me laugh multiple times the transitions literally so funny fr you’re so right about phase 1 noodle it feels kind of like a racist charecutre but I am VERY glad Jamie grew and was able to actually draw noodle proper. I think the song machine cover is noodle genuinely with her eyes closed and face all scrunched up. The fall is phenomenal and everyting you said about it is so so true I love it
6:55 its supposed to look like noel gallagher who featured in we got the power and also had a long rivalry with daman and blur in the britpop war
i kinda like to headcanon that in song machine noodle may have caricatured herself along with all the other members but yeah im still not a fan, and her design in phase 1 has no excuses, especially the one where her head is partially shaved
I actually love G-sides its very that early 2000’s city street aesthetic that i like. The only thing I don’t like about it is Noodle’s phase 1 design which is a general thing about the whole phase.
i never questioned 2d having the guitar in the now now I just figured he knew to play it aswell
I am going to defend the The Now Now cover.
I think it's alright. Nothing more than that. I do agree stylistically is off, but it works in other ways.
First of all, 2D is supposed to be somewhat of a stand in for Damon, at least in theory. That specific album being a 2D heavy project was also because it was actually also a heavy Damon project. Or to me it feels that way.
Most of it, again for me, reads like Damon Albarn expressing themes and topics close to his point of view. I can't help but think that it kind of reminds me of Everyday Robots' cover, but translated into a trippy Gorillaz style.
Now phase wise, my interpretation is 2D being on the very very front but being disoriented about this position, especially with the absence of Murdoc at play. Him being a distorted image, with an "unfamiliar" instrument seems to make sense about how, despite him seeming confident and on charge, there are still things he has to figure out.
This is the first video of yours that I've watched and I've had to pause at 14:42 because the DHMIS soundbyte tipped me over the scale of needing to praise you:
Firstly, I love that I'm understanding all the references in the "Number x" cards, and especially the DHMIS one obviously as said above.
Secondly, I'm very happy that you are a The Fall enjoyer. I adore The Fall despite it's quirks and it made me happy to see you defending its honour (I'm gonna just to your album ranking video after this so I can hear more of your thoughts on it there).
Thirdly, I love that you made the comparison to The Now Now being a sequel to The Fall because that was my instant first impression when the album came out in 2018.
Fourthly, I just wanted to say that you put my thoughts about Plastic Beach into words in a way I've never quite been able to before. Calling the location a character in itself and the main character of Phase 3 is such a good way to think of it and I'm shocked I never have before as it's my favourite album and phase.
I think that's it for now, but I'm loving your vibe and agreeing with so many of your takes so I'm feeling safe to assume I won't regret subscribing and checking out your other Gorillaz videos.
g sides has a banging album cover what
I honestly really love cracker island and the now nows covers 😪🤣
I get the complaints for both though, I just love the Pink and Blue of the now now (plus the wavy psychedelic nature) and I love the way murdoc is being held up by a string in cracker islands
i didn’t even notice the string until i bought the vinyl and i love that detail so much. tbh that probably puts it above the now now for me
@@sahana.speaks understandable to be honest.
I’m also just a sucker for anything pink and blue tbh
@@lukeyjukey yea, the colors combine so well
I love how you block out swears with we are happy landfill LMAO it’s fantastic
10:34 blew out my speakers
dont worry about not posting the 3rd iceberg part! the people can wait for that :)
also to know your reasoning behind this video warmed my heart... this is a really sweet thing you did
5:13 in the words of marzipan from homestar runner, “it’s not big, it’s in the foreground!”
Ngl, seeing that I'm not the only one who really appreciate The Fall's greatness makes me feel happy, the album cover is fire!
Album art is legitimately one of my favorite aspects of music. Iron Maiden has some of if not the best ones ever
The now now take was horrendous, that cover is awesome and probably the best
really surprised that people seem to dislike the cover of the now now! i think it's gorgeous tbh. granted, that's the phase that i got into gorillaz & 2d is my favorite character, but i just love the color palette and the warped design. i feel like the warping & layering of the image fits in so well with the sort of distorted vibe of the album
the now now captures the sound of the album thoooo
Wait that's 2-D on the cover of the Now Now? I've always thought it was Noodle
I actually kinda like the Cracker Island cover art tbh. It's not my favorite, but there's something very like, 60s/70s about it that I think really fits with the themes and sounds of the album lmao. It gives strong Beatles/Beach Boys vibes to me.
Also mildly hot take, The Now Now's album art is probably my favorite out of every Gorillaz album tbh. I'm partially biased because I just love minimalist cover pieces, but the distortion of 2D's portrait really pulls the whole thing together and ties into the album's themes of losing touch with one's identity so immaculately, I love it. I also really love the Y2K vibes of G-Sides' cover, but that's just me.
I’m sorry but you’re evil for 9 that’s my favorite one it’s above demon days for me. I’m also just a sucker for phase 1 noodles helmet so that might be it but you can’t deny the amount of detail and visual interest they put in that one. But I guess I shall let it slide because I love your videos and can’t wait to see the next iceberg video good job ^v^👍💕💕💕
I don't really disagree with any of your ranking except for the fall. One of the main reasons I didn't like the album is because I really didn't like the cover. Despite thinking the Now Now's cover being lack luster I genuinely believe it's the best album overall. Demon Dayz and Plastic Beach are fantastic, but just based on how I can listen to the entire album through endlessly without skipping a single track makes it so good for me. I wish I liked more of what's on Song Machine because Aries is so good I just want to like the album more.
Great Vid
Ps.
The Now Now cover is great
i mean, g sides is boring but that noodle outfit is insane i love it
I love everything about The Fall. it was my first vinyl ever, and my mom bought this instead of Plastic Beach, because she loved this drawing way more. before I got the vinyl I never heard that album, and I fell in love with it in the matter of seconds. also Revolving doors and Amarillo were the first song I learned on ukelele and guitare. so it holds a special place in my heart.
2-D screaming Miss The Rage💀🔥🔥🔥💀🔥🔥🔥💀🔥🔥🔥
I don’t think phase 1 Noodle design is that bad.
same, but one could argue the eyes are a bit problematic. which is fair, though i still miss the tiny noodle we were introduced to
14:43 not me wearing a shirt with that exact album cover on it watching this😂
link to the shirt please 👹👹👹🔪🔪🔪
Maaan I just don’t get why so many ppl hate Cracker Island’s cover art. It’s one of my favourites, from the pinkish-purple colour tones to the composition, I think it fits the vibe so well. Especially w/ my translucent purple variant. Plus the back cover just makes me love the front even more. I may have occult-vibe bias but yh, I dig it.
I do completely agree w/ you on The Now Now. I hate the waAaRPed effect & why is 2D holding a guitar??? 🤷♂️
Love the art for The Fall. I feel like Jamie should’ve done something similar for the Now Now as it’s clearly the summer counterpart to The Fall (The Fall’s a better album ..don’t lynch me Gorillaz fans. ..deep down you know I’m right)
Personally not a fan of Humanz’ cover, looks too weird for me, I’d rather have a 3D render closer to what they had in the Stylo vid or Cracker Island singles.
Plastic Beach is #1 for me tho, cover-wise.
It’s just so iconic, memorable & just generally pretty to look at while you’re spinning the record.
lmao i though pazuzu was an oc too LOL
what do you think of the gorillaz singles collection ?
Very underrated style of content. Subscriber gained!
It's 5AM and I really got jumpscared by 10:34 lmao
Get more subs
i’ll try my best
@@sahana.speaks you deserve more subscribers 😢
gorillaz and demon days are one of my all time favorite albums from gorillaz of all time 🙂
The cracker island cover is totally in last place, WE DONT EVEN HAVE NOODLES NEW HAIR IN IT!!!!
I think they used the plastic beach model for "The Lost Chord" to destroy it
Rip my man the now now
“This album cover fking sucks” 😂😂
14:38 WAIT DO U LIKE DHMIS???
I haven't finished the video. My guess is that number one will be plastic beach
Would anyone want Lego versions of the album covers in the Lego Art line (which iirc has other album covers as a part of the line)
no
your channel's nice
I just saw in the plastic beach cover russel under the water, idk if its me tho
2:46 WHAT IS THE SONG I NEED TO KNOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I miss the rage
@@franl5488 oh the Trippy Redd song?, Neat
in my opinion
1 plastic beach(all of them)
2 self titled album
3 demon days
4 humanz
5 the fall
6 the now now
7 song machine
8 g sides
9 d sides
10 cracker island
11 laika come home
also i do like the cracker island art but i dont like it as an album cover.. also i see noodles little icon in sm as her closing her eyes smiling, bad decision that jamie made to make her a shade of yellow tho
shame on you for putting The Now Now so low
First of all, totally agree with you, second of all, you have one the best profile pictures I've seen.
i always thought that was noodle in the now now for some reason
Do the singles covers and album cover varations, please
you hate phase 1 Noodles whaa
2:50 i didn’t like the album or the cover so yep not the only person!
Ye
I Don't Like Phase 1 Noodle Either
what happened to schaffrillas!?
Monkey journey to the west?
Switch Demon Days and Humanz and we have a deal
Absolutely not
Based
You’re based, but you’re insane.
**gasp** bold
i do not agree with the first few takes lol
They use the Plastic Beach island in The Lost Chord music video from Song Machine funny enough
Why the fuck is this 19 mins long-
