MrMallard 07/15/22 6:21:04 AM #1:	On its own, it's the best Gorillaz album. Demon Days is fine, but this is where the "story" of Gorillaz and the music were arguably the most in sync, the star power was unmatched (Snoop Dogg and Bruce Willis were both on this album) and the theme of the record was probably the least muddied. The aesthetic of the Plastic Beach sculpture is fantastic. The integration of Robot Noodle as a 3D model contrasting with her 2D surroundings is great. On Melancholy Hill is probably the best Gorillaz song to date. And what makes Plastic Beach compelling is that its final music video - either capping the story off or leaving the story for an additional part - was cancelled by EMI, leaving an unrelated tie-in single as the final single and the storyboard being the only Gorillaz media relating to this phase to reach the public consciousness. Until a fan single-handedly animated the final music video based on the storyboards, leading to a commendation from the official Gorillaz YouTube channel. Song Machine is a close second to Plastic Beach for the best Gorillaz album. Despite underperforming initially and having axed content due to cost, Plastic Beach has persevered as an almost-perfect album and it's just as modern and relevant as it's always been. It's a perfect album. --- I hope the bad guys win. I hope the good guys get their skulls bashed in.

MrMallard 07/15/22 6:35:32 AM #3:	It's a little janky, but that shit was in development for like three years and the album cycle had been over for like 7 years by that point. The fact that it exists at all, let alone being as good as it is, is a miracle and a blessing. It'll probably be the most amazing fan project I've ever seen. --- I hope the bad guys win.

MrMallard 07/15/22 6:56:13 AM #7:	Big_Nabendu posted... Did you enjoy the pink phantom? I know it's not on that album.... I LOVE the Pink Phantom. I don't hate any singles off of Song Machine. Not even Friday the 13th. Octavian is a woman-beating piece of shit, but Friday the 13th was always an awesome piece of mood music before that came out. I understand why it's that much harder of a sell now that he's an abusive shithead, but back when it was controversial for not fitting with the rest of the Song Machine singles? I don't think enough people let it grow on them. Justified now given the circumstances, but back then people gave it shit for being light on the Damon vocals. All of that to say that I adored The Pink Phantom. It was one of the best singles of that project, period. --- I hope the bad guys win. I hope the good guys get their skulls bashed in.

The_Creep_2020 07/15/22 8:20:25 AM #9:	I agree wholeheartedly. It's my absolute favourite album of theirs. It highlighted a very strange time in my life, but each song on that album is pretty much something exquisite. Edit: theirs/his? IDK. I'm never too sure how much consistent musical input there is aside from Damon. --- All that I am and all I'll ever be is a brain in a body. <cite>The_Creep_2020 posted [p:966589085] in Plastic Be...
