New Gorillaz

[MMP]

I thought I read that this already leaked?

Yup, downloading it now!

 

[MMP]

The first track is a killer tune!

 

[LemonMelon]

Is the production noticeably different than what can be expected from a Gorillaz album?

 

[MMP]

Nope, to me it's sounding pretty good so far. I'm still on the fourth track though. Also, there's to account that this was recorded over a month on the road, on an i-Pad.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Wake me up when Damon decides to make another Blur record.

 

[MMP]

They'll be recording in January.

 

[LemonMelon]

No hibernation for GAF.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

They'll be recording in January.

What, based on some "unnamed source" in The Sun? One of the most notoriously crap tabloid publications in the western world? Forgive me if I don't get out of my chair and start dancing in celebration based on that rumor.

 

[MMP]

Here.

The band met up recently to discuss the possibility of collaborating again in the new year.
"We did talk about doing something in January, something small, no career-based world domination ideas," Albarn said.

 

[MMP]

And this leak just started to sound very weird since track 9 is Doncamatic.

 

[MMP]

Yup, this is bogus. I should've paid more attention.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

 

[MoodyJ]

Yup, this is bogus. I should've paid more attention.

So what are those other tracks from?

So what are those other tracks from?

I wish I knew, cause I loved the first track.

triple j music news: Damon Albarn sentimental at final Gorillaz gig

 

[MoodyJ]

Phoner To Arizona video.

YouTube - Gorillaz - Phoner To Arizona

 

[PhilsFan]

That kind of sucks.

 

[MoodyJ]

^ Hopefully the other tracks are an improvement over this one.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Did he shoot the video on his iPad too?

 

[LemonMelon]

This probably was made on an iPad. It blows. Phoned To Arizona is more like it (lolololololol).

 

[CrashedCarDriver]

had a listen to the new album, some good tracks, some filler

its said thats it for gorillaz ...

 

[LemonMelon]

Well, it's not an abomination, but I barely noticed it was on. It was pretty.

I'm 100% certain it was recorded on an iPad. Either that, or Damon was just setting the bar REALLY low for himself. If it's for marketing the iPad, I consider it a failure, as I have even less interest in recording an album on an iPad than I previously did.

 

[nirniva]

I quite liked it, though I'll definitely agree that there's a lot of filler.

Amarillo and Revolving Doors are probably the strongest tracks for me so far.

 

[nielsgov]

It's a lot less radiofriendly and catchy as other Gorillaz albums but that's normal for a fanclub release. I think it's just a good relaxed album but nothing spectacular. My favourite so far is Little Plastic Bags.

 

[PhilsFan]

The actual title of the album should have been "Damon Albarn Tries Out Some Different Tones on His Keyboard."

 

[CrashedCarDriver]

here's an interpretation of the title of the album - Plastic Beach

the so-called "Beach" - a place of salvation

Plastic = fake, false

ie "A place of false salvation" or "Salvation is false"

hmmm.. kind of hopeless if you think about it

 

[Joey788]

Damn, looks like that may be it for Gorillaz.

Report: Gorillaz have “split” ? Consequence of Sound

 

[LemonMelon]

Guys, just because it's not the '00s anymore doesn't mean your career has to end. Maybe BoMac is getting into them right now.

Guess that means Blur is probably really coming back.

 

[nirniva]

Damn, looks like that may be it for Gorillaz.

*deep breath*
It's okay, Nirniva. You can handle this...remember, it's just a band. Granted, they're a band who have written some of your favorite tunes of the past decade (along with Plastic Beach, which is still tied with The Suburbs for your favorite album of 2010), but you can move on. There will be more good music in the future. You can handle this.

Update on this. Turns out that while the falling out was true, Gorillaz HAVE NOT SPLIT.

This is according to Jamie Hewlett's son.
