Yep. I think Gorillaz came out first but it also looked like Teen Titans cartoon to me as a kid (which made me think s*** was connected when I was really young and just seeing them around) and even benefitted from being out around the same time as things like Toonami and BAPE

That + Feel Good Inc. Apple commercial/MTV spamming the video imprinted them in my head before I even heard an album lol

Wonder how an animated band would work today independently without the connections/media infrastructure for what I just mentioned

Idk I never liked them

they suck ass now but Demon Days is one of my favorite albums of all time and Plastic Beach is really good too

Unpopular or whatever but I feel like the now now was their best album since plastic beach

blur

F*** this thread!

I f***ing hate Damon Albarn’s voice on Gorillaz

19-2000 remix is their best song which says a lot

Bops

they have a few good songs but most of them sound boring, also the rappers they feature are usually 80’s style rappers and absolute trash

Haven’t listened to them in ages but self titled and demon days were a huge thing when they came out.

They were like the world’s first 2d animated band but other than that, not a lot really interests me about them

It’s wild that Gorillaz are still making great music after decades.
Damon really is one the most consistent artists

What a stupid f***in post

Vibes

Three classic albums that still sound good today and you asking what is their appeal?

Also just from looking through this thread i can see that all of their post Plastic Beach music is severely overlooked and under appreciated, which is unfortunate

They’ve dropped a lot of great songs after their hiatus

to me they sound like one of those free albums that used to come with windows media player back in the day

Despite liking "Humanz" I'm cool with this take

Good music

This probably the wildest take I’ve ever seen on Gorillaz music

Wait are you saying the music sounds cheap?

It’s generic vibey tv commercial music that feels hollow and flat. NERD does that whole 2000s feel-good, genre blending lane better

I’ve only listened to demon days though

Song machine 1 from 2020 is just nothing but bangers, some of their best tracks on there

That's what you get out of Demon Days?

I can’t lie, I don’t see how Demon Days feel commercial to you

There’s no other album that sounds like Demon Days, and Demon Days isn’t even a radio friendly sounding album.
It doesn’t have a feel-good vibe, the sound and vibe is dark

There’s like 2 songs on that album that I could imagine being used in a commercial
