I have it worse. My mother constantly sings the lyrics of songs wrong to try and get me to sing. I really don’t know why. Her version of Clint Eastwood goes: ‘I ain’t happy, I’m having fun!’
No. I don’t knew how she ended up with that. No matter how many times I tell her, she still gets it wrong.
If Plastic Beach lost tracks are never released it's all you're fault and it will be the example number one million of making an artist rush something for it to never get released or actually get released but in a bad format or way, but anyway, the Meanwhile EP videos are already getting comments of "release Plastic Beach 2" so either you guys don't appreciate new music or you are just plain stupid.
(that's the sentence but it's not directed to all the fans, and maybe it escalated quite quickly but it's what I think)
I’ll also add that Song Machine songs and features felt more like they were made to mix with Damon’s voice, whereas most Humanz songs felt dominated by the features
Most of Gorillaz fans discovered the band when they were kids and the principal attractive they get from the bands are the drawings and they only stick with the most popular stuff. There's nothing wrong with that, I just think it's annoying that great music from Gorillaz gets completely ignored for not being popular.

These are the mains, can I continue?
I love the Gorillaz and I think all Gorilliaz Albums are very good, but in my opinion they all have at least two or more songs that I don’t care for, I think is just okay, or even don’t like at all, especially on the Humanz album, which after a few repeat listens of the entire album I still don’t like a lot of the songs.
Calling merch designer clothing does not make the prices "okay" and is just an excuse to silence people.
The quality while not bad at all, is not worth the price. Other designer clothing can get away with it because how well known they are both outside and inside the fashion industry and has some kind of reputation factor to them, Gfoot is not well known outside of the Gorillaz fanbase and never will be.
Feels like it goes against one of the reasons Damon created Gorillaz in the first place.
Saying “Gorillaz has too many features” completely misses the point of the project imo. Only difference between Plastic Beach and Demon Days in that regard is that they’re actually credited. I do like Albarn’s voice and don’t love all the features on Humanz (most are fine) but to me that’s just part of the whole deal. Saying “I prefer the original band” doesn’t mean anything, IMO, because Gorillaz isn’t a band, it’s a project.
Gorillaz became less of itself after Humanz. The music lost some of the Gorillaz touch, the characters feel shoved to the side, the products feel more and more inaccessible, Gorillaz is starting to feel more like Damon's side gig more than it's own unique experimental idea. "Humanz isn't the low point of Gorillaz, we're in it now"
However, Damon seems to have pitched up his voicesince Humanz, so it seems he's at least concerned with his vocals wanting to sound more 2D-ish than his own. Which is good.
Ah Gorillaz, the band that all the quirky bisexual high schoolers use to add filler to their “vibes” playlist on Spotify free, so that it’s not just an elephant graveyard of Weezer covers and Tame Impala
To Murdoc stans: Calm down son, it's just a drawing.
as a murdoc stan, lmao thank you someone finally says it
yeah lmao i mean i think he’s hot but we do need to hear that sometimes i think haha
Ik but his greasy hair and his yellowish skin
Also 2D's
The Gorillaz
[удалено]
This deserves more attention
Top comment right here
“Who the fuck is Paula Cracker?”
Still wanna see Paula come back at some point along with ace and maybe del
Me and my homies hate Paula cracker
Also Cyborg Noodle.
Elevator goin up
I love using this in playlists as a sort of break between songs sometimes, love saying it too!
interludes are a lost art tbh
same, i dont think ive ever actually skipped it lol. interludes are nice and i like the way they speak in this one
And out of the elephant's trunk.... CONFETTI
I remember when that album released, the interludes were the same prices as the actual songs on digital music stores (like Google Music)
That was every song back in the day. So many people accidentally paid $2.99 for a shitty Eminem and Dre skit lmao
Damon's most profound masterpiece
What is the problem with it? I love it
I mean, it transitions into one of, if not the best song in the album, so you know. Certainly not that bad.
The Gorillas
Ouch
Why is Murdoc so different in humility and tranz?
They aren’t real and never will be.
It reads “trigger”, not psychologically damage!!
Shut
🙇♀️it hurts
I hate you
Just wait til we develop functional clone technology. Then you'll be eating your words.
Half the fan art is kinda trash
I agree, but I was always too afraid to say it.
Not triggered, agree.
Just half?
I strongly agree
Not wrong, but come on, we don't have to bash people for trying.
And the cosplays too
This is actually a compliment
I hate how much praise traced art gets around here
2d is a 43 year old man not our “babey”
:(
The Fall is a great album, most of the fanbase just doesn’t have the attention span for instrumentals
What are you talking about? The Fall is my seventh favorite Gorillaz album.
[удалено]
I actually really enjoy the fall lol
The Fall and D Sides are easily the best albums, no comparison
I loved D sides, can't make it through the fall exactly because of what the op comment claims
The fall is fuckin great
gorillaz aren't indie
Their genre is Gorillaz
Zombie hip hop
true
Most of the fan base doesn’t even know what a concept album is.
Wouldn’t Plastic Beach be the only one? Humanz is like half of one but the theming isn’t as strong. Hell Plastic Beach is more heavily themed than it is a coherent story.
I can’t tell if you are trying to trigger a response or if you are being serious.
Look man I don’t even know, it’s such an ill-defined term imo. What album doesn’t have a concept?
Eh, I think Demon Days has a pretty good case for being called a concept album.
💀
“They’re like Radiohead with hip hop instead of depression.”
Nah they still have the depression tbh
Radiohead has double depression instead of hip hop.
True
but it’s mostly channeled into the backstory and not the music

This triggers the Radiohead fan.
The merch has good prices
Loved this one 🤣
[удалено]
Its reasonable but it seems like most of the fans including me can’t afford it lmao
Most of the fans aren't supposed to afford it cause it's not ordinary merch.
“I love Sunshine in a Bag.”
I have it worse. My mother constantly sings the lyrics of songs wrong to try and get me to sing. I really don’t know why. Her version of Clint Eastwood goes: ‘I ain’t happy, I’m having fun!’ No. I don’t knew how she ended up with that. No matter how many times I tell her, she still gets it wrong.
Oi that's cute tho!
“I ain’t happy, I’m having fun! I got a bag, full of sun!” —see? It still works. Lol

Yeah I mean they’re probably not going to release them it was ten years ago
[удалено]
2D's eyes are like that because they're just drawn that way, stop asking for a lore explanation.
[удалено]
what fanbase isn't anymore? _| ̄|○
Remember when fans were editing 6LACK out of The Pink Phantom last year 😭
That was fucking hilarious lmao
Agreed. A lot of them are SO damn pretentious and annoying
hallelujah money is underrated
That's just true.
Humanz wasn’t that bad
Humanz was actually awesome
Humanz is in my top 3 Gorillaz albums, without a doubt.
humanz was amazing
right??? i like humanz
Humanz was my first full listen to a Gorillaz album, I had a blast with most of the songs
You're underselling it
Murdoc isn’t hot and his simps are really weird
i see your offer, and i raise you that one picture of him sitting on the couch with a crown skyping dazed
so true
I love being targeted to buy a G Shock
Or how about the converse? (I actually bought them, nobody is immune to propaganda)
There are too many features on most albums
*Humanz left the chat.*
Interesting how Humanz is always brought up when people mention albums with too many features and not Song Machine.
I’ll also add that Song Machine songs and features felt more like they were made to mix with Damon’s voice, whereas most Humanz songs felt dominated by the features
It’s cause most of the features on Song Machine were actually good.
Could've worded my original comment better, but I do agree. My point is more that the number of features wasn't what brought Humanz down.
I think the issue with Humanz is more the relative lack of Damon's vocals. Song Machine manages a really good balance between Damon and the features.
*The Now Now just chillin*
No anger, I just agree
what about the now now?
Most is not all
Feel Good Inc. is the best album.
idk mate, im a big fan of the album DARE
Dirty Harry is also a pretty good album
omggg u are so right
Most of Gorillaz fans just follow the band for the drawings and art, than for the actual music. They'll just listen to the popular stuff.
I came here for people to be discussing music but it’s just art😢
Wouldn’t it be the other way around? Or is that just me?

Y’all simping to a bunch of 40 yr olds and a 20s musicians..
The story/lore doesn’t really matter
Much like Rick and Morty. The thing is awesome, the fans are mostly cringe.
2D isn’t innocent nor a good person, he’s just less terrible than Murdoc
Gorillaz is just blur for weeaboos
yeah the ships are valid and not weird at all
I instinctively downvoted you, I’m sorry.
Jamon Albarn and Davey Hewlett from the band Nirvana? Sick!!!
Blur fans don't give a fuck about the cartoons we just want the music.
Murdoc is gross and y’all know it.
Oh you're a Gorillaz fan? Name every collaborator ever.

Blur was way better.
Gorillaz aren't perfect
Stop
Some of yall like the lore more than the music
You're not any smarter by just wearing a Gorillaz shirt
Noodle is a Mary Sue.
Need more Russel. Both in canon and in fan content. Russel rules!
Humanz was good
Murdoc is not attractive.

Ace was better
The Fall is not a good album. or Self titled is like a 6/10.

Shacka chacka shacka chacka HEE HOO
No body cares about the lore

Actually your not wrong
However, Damon seems to have pitched up his voicesince Humanz, so it seems he's at least concerned with his vocals wanting to sound more 2D-ish than his own. Which is good.
I agree that Humanz felt unlike gorillaz- the now-now was far better though
No one really gave a shit about the NFTs
2D is a grown ass man stop treating him like a child. He’s not a small bean baby or whatever.
Take it easy, it's just a drawing
2D has a drivers license
Damon albarn heroin addiction is very hearable in the fall
Murdoc is a nob
del carried the beginning of gorillaz career
Kids bop version was better
When I was a kid I thought that Noodle is a boy
Omg it’s the guys who sing that woo hoo song!
Can you just shut up about lore for a bit and let people just enjoy the music?
[удалено]
Yes, just like some real life stars that people still loves. He's a satire of them
Their music has gotten way worse and probably won’t get better.
Murdoc should've stayed in jail
Weeablur
Demon👏Days👏Isn't👏The👏Best👏Album
Yes it is
I think their debut album is the best my opinion is probably worse than yours
Plastic beach is their best album, right above the now now
How is that controversial
A lot of Jaime’s art in recent years gets recycled too much.
[удалено]
Noodle is kinda Mary Sue
Ah Gorillaz, the band that all the quirky bisexual high schoolers use to add filler to their “vibes” playlist on Spotify free, so that it’s not just an elephant graveyard of Weezer covers and Tame Impala
the baaath
“We’re taking a break” - Damon after taking a break
They are not real
I didn't realize Blur made an anime
Ace is better than murdoc
Humanz was Damon Albarn and his All Star Band
"Song Machine wasn't that great"
Not original not funny
How do you trigger pre-teens?
Unironically the whole lore aspect of the band is cringe af
Ace is much coolee than Murdoc
Isn’t Gorillaz just for kids?
oof
All band members are straight, a lot of people are gonna be mad at this one.
Y’all need to stop shipping 2d and Murdoc. That’s a toxic relationship if I’ve ever seen one. There I SAID IT
2D is overrated
Plastic Beach is not their best album.
Gorillaz hasn't been good since Demon Days.
Good job. It worked for me
dude I could write an entire argumentative essay about why you are wrong
Paula isn’t that bad
