    Nowadays, Plastic Beach is probably my favorite Gorillaz album, but I'll always love The Fall!

      1. Plastic Beach
      2. The Fall
      3. Gorillaz (self-titled)
      4. Demon Days
      5. Humanz

      It's not because it's slow. It's more so because of the production, which was pretty bland for the most part. It also lacked the creativity of their other albums. The whole thing just sounded too "normal" to me. Although I loved the songs Humility, Tranz, Idaho, and Souk Eye.

    My favourite Gorillaz albums are G-Sides, Demon Days, D-Sides and The Fall.

    The Joplin Spider is one of my favorite tracks off theirs as a whole. It’s so brooding, dark, and almost one big RIP headphone warning, also has one of my favorite vocal passages. I like about half of the track, but the other half being throwaways.

    Phoner to Arizona - sets the mood pretty damn well, great tension in melody
    Revolving doors - Nice groovy song
    Bobby in Pheonix - Great guitar at start, the lyrics are deep as hell
    Hillbilly man - The guitar part is simple and chill, the other part is a bit weird, although i like the weird singing
    Detroit - Nice groovy song too.
    Amarillo - Great melancholic song, probably the best one by gorillaz.
    Joplin Spider - I don't really like
    Aspen Forest - for a long time i didn't like, now i kinda do
    The parish of space dust - It's a melancholic waltz with great lyrics, what else can you want? Oh, and "parish of space dust" is pretty damn cool metaphor
    Pink plastic bags - pretty nice melody, although i don't really underestand the lyrics
    Snake in dallas - Sounds like wrestling theme song
    Shy town - pretty nice i guess
    Speak it mountains - does this still classify as music?

    Short and sweet (just like thw album) analysis of what makes this album stand out, kudos! I already found The Fall the weird one out of their discography, both because it seems like a hybrid between a proper album and one of their b-sides collections, and due to it being kind of like watershed for their discography (before The Fall, the more experimental and traditional instrumentally arranged; after The Fall, the poppier and more synthesized). And while it's not my fave one by Gorillaz, it's got a special place in my heart.

    • @CynicalScorpio
      @CynicalScorpio  5 років тому +1

      Thanks. Yeah The Fall is definitly the black sheep of Gorillaz studio albums. And you're right, Gorillaz music definitly got more "normal" after The Fall, I never really thought about that.
