Plastic Beach

[Mike McC]

The new Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach, comes out soon. And, if you can't wait a week, the whole album is being streamed (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124114812) by NPR. Also, you can watch the first video from the album, Stylo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9vAOzYz-Qs), via the Gorillaz YouTube account.

I must say I really like this. The drum tracks are a bit bleh, but everything else seems to be pretty good.

My roommate is mad cause I found this when he was walking out.

Not bad TBH, a little too simple rap flow for me, but nice!

Yes! More Gorillaz! How did I not know this was out until now?

Anyway, haven't bought the album yet; I'm previewing stuff on youtube. Stylo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9vAOzYz-Qs&annotation_id=annotation_969728&feature=iv) is fascinating-- I've always liked how Gorillaz music mixes styles and artists, and this is no exception. (EDIT: And it has a music video featuring a chase scene with Bruce Willis. Nice.) Superfast Jellyfish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4UtbrbsrjY&feature=fvw) is both catchy and amusing.
