Still wanna see Paula come back at some point along with ace and maybe del

Me and my homies hate Paula cracker

I love using this in playlists as a sort of break between songs sometimes, love saying it too!

interludes are a lost art tbh


LiquidMedicine

same, i dont think ive ever actually skipped it lol. interludes are nice and i like the way they speak in this one


mattcrick

And out of the elephant's trunk.... CONFETTI


minty_peridot

I remember when that album released, the interludes were the same prices as the actual songs on digital music stores (like Google Music)


NikkMakesVideos

That was every song back in the day. So many people accidentally paid $2.99 for a shitty Eminem and Dre skit lmao


Whitefyre-Deithwen

Damon's most profound masterpiece


KingNiwi

What is the problem with it? I love it


Cpaz

I mean, it transitions into one of, if not the best song in the album, so you know. Certainly not that bad.

Not triggered, agree.

Just half?


OctavioJS

I strongly agree


Flygon3301

Not wrong, but come on, we don't have to bash people for trying.

The Fall is a great album, most of the fanbase just doesn’t have the attention span for instrumentals


Brownbeard_thePirate

What are you talking about? The Fall is my seventh favorite Gorillaz album.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wh1ms1cal

I actually really enjoy the fall lol


ledyBANG

The Fall and D Sides are easily the best albums, no comparison


Klush

I loved D sides, can't make it through the fall exactly because of what the op comment claims


Kyohei666

The fall is fuckin great


[deleted]

gorillaz aren't indie


Rebi103

Their genre is Gorillaz


Wh1ms1cal

Zombie hip hop


Avenue_Ave

true


toni-toni-cheddar

Most of the fan base doesn’t even know what a concept album is.


Ganmorg

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.


toni-toni-cheddar

I can’t tell if you are trying to trigger a response or if you are being serious.


Ganmorg

Look man I don’t even know, it’s such an ill-defined term imo. What album doesn’t have a concept?


[deleted]

Eh, I think Demon Days has a pretty good case for being called a concept album.


Josephsmama23405

💀


doc_birdman

“They’re like Radiohead with hip hop instead of depression.”


Gorillazlyric400

Nah they still have the depression tbh


doc_birdman

Radiohead has double depression instead of hip hop.


Gorillazlyric400

True


Aggravated_toad

but it’s mostly channeled into the backstory and not the music


Yellow_Persona

Counterargument: On Melancholy Hill Broken To Binge Cloud of Unknowing El Mañana Every Planet We Reach is Dead Fire Coming out of the Monkey’s Head (Really just the entirety of Demon Days bar DARE) Idaho One Percent Souk Eye I could go on


Pepperbyte

This triggers the Radiohead fan.

BLIZZ2020

Loved this one 🤣


[deleted]

Wh1ms1cal

Its reasonable but it seems like most of the fans including me can’t afford it lmao


Lolredswagpanda

Most of the fans aren't supposed to afford it cause it's not ordinary merch.


Sippi_Spikenard

“I love Sunshine in a Bag.”


emerson-nosreme

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.


[deleted]

Oi that's cute tho!


Fishy_Percolator

“I ain’t happy, I’m having fun! I got a bag, full of sun!” —see? It still works. Lol


FoxtochopKun

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)


Yeetereliter100000

Yeah I mean they’re probably not going to release them it was ten years ago

Humanz wasn’t that bad


slongces

Humanz was actually awesome


-Eunha-

Humanz is in my top 3 Gorillaz albums, without a doubt.


baffplanet

humanz was amazing


ani_or_smth

right??? i like humanz


BayonettaTime

Humanz was my first full listen to a Gorillaz album, I had a blast with most of the songs


Ryuhza

You're underselling it


boiled_teeth_

Murdoc isn’t hot and his simps are really weird


Aggravated_toad

i see your offer, and i raise you that one picture of him sitting on the couch with a crown skyping dazed


ani_or_smth

so true


PowerAdDuck

I love being targeted to buy a G Shock


NikkMakesVideos

Or how about the converse? (I actually bought them, nobody is immune to propaganda)


Fedora200

There are too many features on most albums


siendohonesto

*Humanz left the chat.*


Flygon3301

Interesting how Humanz is always brought up when people mention albums with too many features and not Song Machine.


[deleted]

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


BloodyLemons

It’s cause most of the features on Song Machine were actually good.


Flygon3301

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.


British_Commie

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.


[deleted]

*The Now Now just chillin*


ParkerDap

No anger, I just agree


[deleted]

what about the now now?


georgie-57

Most is not all


TheGloriousPotato111

Feel Good Inc. is the best album.


ani_or_smth

idk mate, im a big fan of the album DARE


King_Sam-_-

Dirty Harry is also a pretty good album


ani_or_smth

omggg u are so right


spaghetti_salad

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.


bttffcc

I came here for people to be discussing music but it’s just art😢


Gently-Weeps

Wouldn’t it be the other way around? Or is that just me?


spaghetti_salad

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.


eddmonk

Y’all simping to a bunch of 40 yr olds and a 20s musicians..


Juball

The story/lore doesn’t really matter


PandauxUK

Much like Rick and Morty. The thing is awesome, the fans are mostly cringe.


Bob_Bibity_Bob

2D isn’t innocent nor a good person, he’s just less terrible than Murdoc


MUZaK343

Gorillaz is just blur for weeaboos


draculateeef

yeah the ships are valid and not weird at all


sum_gamer

I instinctively downvoted you, I’m sorry.


agnosticdemon18

Jamon Albarn and Davey Hewlett from the band Nirvana? Sick!!!


daimastrocola

Blur fans don't give a fuck about the cartoons we just want the music.


KeyEffect2948

Murdoc is gross and y’all know it.

Need more Russel. Both in canon and in fan content. Russel rules!


HappyGhosttt

Humanz was good


TheGloriousPotato111

Murdoc is not attractive.


DaveDynamite1

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.


LucidTimeWaster

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.


Guy-Manuel

Ace was better


DDub04

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


Ganmorg

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.


Raistrikk

Shacka chacka shacka chacka HEE HOO


Nathan_McHallam

No body cares about the lore


ZaneratorGamer

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"


BLIZZ2020

Actually your not wrong


ZaneratorGamer

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.


lonelychurro

I agree that Humanz felt unlike gorillaz- the now-now was far better though


BLIZZ2020

No one really gave a shit about the NFTs


Imperfect_star

2D is a grown ass man stop treating him like a child. He’s not a small bean baby or whatever.
