Gorillaz Appreciation Thread

[Matemeo]

Title says it all. This is where we talk about one of the best hip-hop groups around. We also talk about how Plastic Beach better be awesome or we'll kill ourselves.

Are Gorillaz rappers? aye, i thought it was someone kind of punk/rock

[whistle]

Listening to D-sides right now, never really been an avid fan of them.

[KeeblerSage]

Gorrilaz have/has a new album?

[Dederd]

I enjoy some of their songs
Busdriver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpP-8tJ-9Js) is pretty cool when it comes to hiphop, too

[Dendo]

Souljaboy represent. RESPECT.

I am a pretty big Gorillaz fan.
M1A1 is one of my favorites.

[GoldenF2P]

M1A1 is pretty wacky.
Any remixed Gorillaz song turns to ****. Prove me wrong.

Clint Eastwood on g sides. Pretty legit rap with the Clint Eastwood beat. 19-2000 remix on g sides can't remember who it's by but it's great. D sides has some pretty good remixes. Overall though their two main albums Gorillaz and Demon Days are their best work.

Plastic Beach is supposed to be out early this year and features a lot of their old talent and apparently they collaborated with Snoop. Looks like they took a new direction with their art as well as the stuff I've seen is some CGI looking ****. Not too sure about it.

And their is nothing chiller to blaze to than Gorillaz. Prove me wrong.

[Smien]

Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Love forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sinking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

[Matemeo]

Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Love forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sinking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
Lining them up-a like ass cracks,
Lay these ponies at the track
Its my chocolate attack.
****, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
Watch me as I gravitate
Hahahahahahaa.

Hell yeah more Gorillaz love.

Yo, we gonna go ghost town,

with yo sound
you're in the blink
Goin to bite the dust
Can't fight with us
With your sound
You'll kill the Inc.
So don't stop
Get it, Get it
Until you cheader header,
Now watch the way I navigate,
hahahahahaaaaa.

Love that band. Some of their stuff is a bit slow and I don't listen to it much but their singles are gold

[Brad1]

Well that doesn't really mean you like the band, it just means you like their singles. Liking a bands singles is different from liking the band.

[Surger]

No it's not just their singles I like.

I enjoy kids with guns, dare, El manana etc but Demon days for instance I find a bit to slow to listen to that much.

I suppose I have only really heard a lot of stuff off of Demon Days. I'm more saying I love their work but my personal favourite songs are their singles. Specifically Feel Good Inc

[Matemeo]

A lot of their music is really slow and chill, and a lot of up-beat and catchy. Personally it's what I love so much about Gorillaz I can easily transition between two different styles of music in the same album. Blaze to chill music and work/game with faster music. And I love their art direction--their music videos are freaking awesome.

[OTBatman]

Really don't like much of this genre, but these guys get the exception.

[GoldenF2P]

Well that doesn't really mean you like the band, it just means you like their singles. Liking a bands singles is different from liking the band.
Considering how many bands there are, in which I don't like any of their songs; I'd say that liking just one or two songs makes me like the band. If you're talking about the people in the band or their ideals etc. I couldn't give a less of a ****.

[Fozzle]

I like the Gorillaz.

Their albums have a decent amount of variation so it's fun to listen too. Neat concept with the whole virtual band and stuff. Solid music as well.

Looking forward to their next album!

[LostENT]

yeah, thats right. keep a mild groove on.

[Norroar]

New album was mega huge super disappointment.

Was not pleased.

good band nonetheless .. if you can even call them that

[Gohka]

The Fall?

[Atrim3ntus]

Not a huge fan but the first CD I bought in my life was Gorillaz, the one released on 2001...so that's the reason why I'll always remember them. At the time I loved 19-2000, I can't recall if I liked any other.

But overall my favorite tracks are Tomorrow Comes Today, Sound Check (Gravity), Clint Eastwood, El Mañana, November Has Come.

And from the new album: Stylo, On Melancholy Hill.

[Vexium]

they've had a few good songs, but as a whole, Gorillaz is pretty lackluster.

[Gohka]

68 State.

Also The Fall is their newest album, they recorded it mostly on an ipad while on tour.
