Just been listening to the new Gorillaz album – Plastic Beach. I have been a fan of Gorillaz since the first album almost 10 years ago now. Have to say this new one isn’t as good as that first album, and probably not quite as good as Demon Days either. In my opinion there are just not enough standout tracks, apart from Stylo.
Plus the other annoying thing is the number of tracks featuring generic rapper types that just spoil most of the songs for me, White Flag standing out as one of the worst.
There are some songs that I like which are more like what you would want from the Gorillaz such as Empire Ants, Some Kind of Nature and Pirate Jet.
Overall its sitll a good album, enjoyable to listen to, and its always nice to have more from the Gorillaz, one of the most unique and interesting bands around.
