I think it's brilliant, lots of thematic weight about the decline of moral decency and the human condition. The album feels like a slide into depravity and fear, giving into hatred. The album ends with a peppy little call to arms but it's limp and intentionally so - We've GOT the power, but we probably won't use it.
imo PB is relatively incredibly weak, some really great songs and still a good album but it's the only gorillaz album that feels overly bloated and several songs on it are just not good
Oh yeah my bad. I guess my mind was thinking three songs since Snoop Dog did release a song featuring Gorillaz in his Doggumentary album.
Same. It's my favorite of the Phase 4 songs. I really wish it was included in the album even though it kinda doesn't mix with those.
I'm so excited fr. So nice to hear a new Gorillaz song with live drums and bass like in that teaser, first one since Sweepstakes I thinkMan I keep thinking about this and just going:
thats actually ace and not just people going "he looks like ace"? this is a random ass crossover lmao
SWEEPSTAKES!
Well technically he was still there. He was just changed to the Boogieman. He was supposed to be a character either voiced or played by Mos Def if I remember correctly. But that was most likely scrapped due to budget reasons. Same with the Evangelist.

.....Plastic Beach and Phase 3 in general is just unfinished in all honesty.
Definitely an album. Also seems like they're using the old logo again, for what it's worth. I'm excited!
Dope, if its an album, hopefully it's got a bit more balanced mix of Damon and guest vocals.
I think it isn't so much that we've got it and we won't use it, it's that we have the illusion of power when we have none. The alarm bells of decency and logic are ringing and asking to step up to the altar of reason. But people have mostly forsaken reason, and will not go.
Zebra Katz, De La Soul, and Bobby Womack are in the three song crew.
Sweepstakes is the best track on Plastic Beach tho...
I was at the Seattle show where they debuted Idaho, messed it up, and played it a second time. I thought it was awful back then, so I'm curious to see what the album version ends up being like.
