Apparently the plastic beach album nearly broke gorillaz emotionally. I don’t know the whole story but this is them apparently giving closure to what they went through during that time (which is why it’s being destroyed). You can see Murdoc crying
@@choosejay1497 exactly they were looking back on their different parts of the journey to plastic beach like the mask murdoc was wearing is the boogeyman’s mask who he was almost killed by, noodle looks at cyborg noodle, who replaced her after she was supposedly killed and also sees her mask, etc. The Lost Chord is a sort of reference to someone you feel you’re missing in your life during the quarantine. A lost chord in the melody of your life. Plastic Beach was a place that almost tore the band apart, and now that it’s been destroyed, they’re free. 2D and murdoc’s friendship have also taken a toll throughout the band’s history, and 2D coming back to pull murdoc through the portal was sort of sealing their friendship after all it went through in the videos for this album.
The plastic beach was supposed to be the end to the gorillaz way back like a decade ago but they decided to come back so now we have some amazing songs that would’ve never come out otherwise
The story during the Plastic Beach album (Strap in, this is pretty much everything). *Context from before the album:* Noodle was missing and presumed dead after the El Manana music video and the band separated because of it. *Prelude:* Murdoc offered some souls to a failed Horsemen of the Apocalypse Murdoc calls "The Boogieman" so he could be at the top of the radio charts and to kidnap 2D. However, Murdoc lied about having souls to give. Since he is now on the run from Boogieman, Murdoc burned down the previous studio for the insurance money and built Cyborg Noodle to protect him and replace Noodle as a band member. Finding a new place to built a studio, he discovered an island made of plastic trash in the middle of the ocean. He then had a new studio built on top and called it Plastic Beach. *Stylo:* After construction of the new studio was done, Murdoc, 2D, and C-Noodle made a run to the ocean while being chased by a bounty hunter hired by Boogieman. Seems like C-Noodle got her bullet wound during the chase before the music video started. *Melancholy Hill:* Noodle reappears. She fights off some pirates sent by Boogieman and then reunites with Russel, who grew to an enormous size since radioactive trash in the ocean mutated him while he was swimming to Plastic Beach. Meanwhile, Murdoc's group travels with the other featured artists via subs to Plastic Beach. *Doncamatic:* Daley, one of the featured artists, is traveling to Plastic Beach in his sub, The Doncamatic. (Daley is the pile of bones with glasses and the sub C-Noodle is in belongs to him) *Interlude:* Murdoc's group on Plastic Beach is making the music for the album while fending off pirate attacks sent by Boogieman. 2D doesn't want to be there and Murdoc is terrorizing him to continue making music with him. There are several fights between the two like this ua-cam.com/video/Ye_xH0gz3cA/v-deo.html *Rhinestone Eyes (Music video was cancelled due to funding):* Boogieman arrives with his pirate army and a massive battle begins. During this fight, 2D got swallowed up by a whale while hiding in the underwater part of the island and it swims away with 2D. Russel arrives carrying Noodle in his mouth. (A fan made a music video based on the storyboards. I really recommend checking it out. Though, the part where Russel tossed the whale was retconned when the Humanz album released) *Everyone after the Battle (Prelude to Humanz):* During the chaos, Murdoc got an imposter to take his place while he and C-Noodle escaped in a sub. After Boogieman claimed the soul of the imposter, he took it as settling the debt Murdoc owed and didn't pursue him afterwards. Murdoc and C-Noodle were later discovered by EMI Records (the band's music label) and sent Murdoc to jail for a bit. It's not clear what happened to C-Noodle when this happened, but The Lost Chord seems to imply that EMI stranded C-Noodle back on the beach where she powered down before getting Daley's sub to work. It is also not clear if Daley died during the battle or if C-Noodle killed him to highjack The Doncamatic. 2D was stranded on a remote island after the whale died due to eating the garbage in the ocean that messed up Russel. The island was actually just a beach in Mexico and 2D spent some time there before taking a plane back to England. Russel escaped into the ocean while carrying Noodle. He swam until they reached a Japanese fishing spot where he was mistaken for a whale and was harpooned, they were separated. Noodle washed up onto a Japanese fishing village where she got into a whole different adventure accidently releasing a demon. She spent a while hunting it down and slaying it. She shipped herself back to England in a cardboard box. Russel went drifted alone to North Korea where he was put on display being mistaken for North Korean Godzilla. Since there was little food in N-Korea, he shrunk back down due to starvation and then sent back to England since they realized he was just a person. TL;DR: Murdoc caused a shitstorm for the band for selfish reasons and probably gave everyone PTSD including himself.
Cyborg Noodle was the one that was looking out the window of the submarine. I think she got charged up and woke up cause' of 2-D singing since that's how the submarine was powered. Then once Leee destroyed the place she looked out the window soon to be in the depths of the ruined plastic beach.
Apparently the backstory behind the video is that it’s Murdock being punished they were brought to plastic beach which was a disaster as it broke the band he left cyborg noodle and the bones was an artist they had a song with called doncomatic I think. he also angered the demon from the melancholy hill and stylo video which caused them to be attacked by pirates and I think the sea monster is there to basically punish Murdoc. And also at the end when they jump through the portal you can see Russel and noodle jump through the portal fast because they don’t believe that murdoc is willing to change is ways but 2d comes back to get him because he’s forgiven murdoc. There is a comment on the official gorillaz video that goes more in depth.
@@choosejay1497 i know right he was the cause of 2-ds coma 2 damaged eyes countless years of murdoc abusing him and also in the Aries video he drugged 2-d and that’s only to name a few
if you want to know who was that skeleton on the beach you should watch the music video for Doncamatic ft Daley, also if you look well into the video the Snoop Dogs skeleton is there as well, its the one at 03:01 min the music video.
Amazing reaction but I have a recommendation, don't edit your talking as heavily, I know it's good to have a concise opinion, but give like a second between the opinions. Also don't just categorize this as hate and ignore it, that's one of the worst mistakes youtubers make, they categorize genuine valuable criticism with mindless hate.
For sure, thanks so much for this comment. I'm working on bettering my content by the day, and I know there's a ton of things I can and will make better.
But I definitely noted this, and will keep in mind for future reactions. I'm a bit new to this UA-camr world and it's gonna take time for me to get the swing.
also gorillaz stylo, tranz, and saturnz beats, are good to look at, also id like to see you review, GUNSHIP: dark all day and Gunship When you grow up your heart dies you will love them, but there is a challenge with when you grwow up your heart dies, you have to name as many of the movies in it that you can see

Yoo thanks, you should make a backstory vid of your own for people like me.
Pretty sure Murdoc burnt down kong studios and blamed the fire on some kids then he used insurance money to build a house on plastic beach.
Yep, just watches the full backstory vid and figured that out.
So nostalgic
Wish I could feel that nostalgia, I'm a newbie
4:15 That was the best part 😭 hopefully their friendship will last longer now 😅
Definitely was, after all Murdoch has done they couldn't do him dirty like that. I respect it
Cyborg Noodle was the one that was looking out the window of the submarine. I think she got charged up and woke up cause' of 2-D singing since that's how the submarine was powered. Then once Leee destroyed the place she looked out the window soon to be in the depths of the ruined plastic beach.
What is the music video where it shows 2-D powering the submarine
Wow, didn't even know 2-D caused that
The video that explains why the submarine is powered by singing is Gorillaz- Doncomatic
Didn't think about the fact it'd power on from 2D singing.
His hands at the start:
🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
Nice vid
😂😂 I was casting a spell
*Rip*
Plastic beach

Yeah, I was very surprised 2d even came back for him. Shows his loyalty after all Murdoch has put him through
@@choosejay1497 i know right he was the cause of 2-ds coma 2 damaged eyes countless years of murdoc abusing him and also in the Aries video he drugged 2-d and that’s only to name a few
This song takes it all back

Will do, thanks alot for the suggestion
Plastic Beach nostalgia maynee
I wish I could feel that nostalgia, I'm new so it's just a oddly cool looking house to me😂
2:21 it's a movie on Netflix, they set a deal
Do you know when it releases?
@@choosejay1497 probably in 2022
¡good video! Saludos from México
Ayeee that's lit!!! Thanks for the support
And yes it is
It's not the beat it's the story behind the scenes of the music
Actually both in my opinion, gotta remember they're artists as well.
@@choosejay1497 that's👉 right man
They’re great story tellers and musicians

I honestly think there's too much jumpcuts on this video, it's very distracting
There were, sorry I'm experimenting with different things to find what appeals best for viewing/avoiding copyright. I'll work on it
It's a fricking reaction bruh, ofc theres gunna be cuts. Can you read?
@@infinitedonuts9929 Chill. Go to 1:36, there's 7 jumpcuts in a single sentence, that's what I'm talking about
@@marshmallowdub ofc for copyright n stuff. You can always watch the original vid duh.
