Instead, it feels like a musical vacation for all parties involved - a little self-indulgent, but filled with enough fun ideas and good songs to make this virtual band's debut a genuinely enjoyable album.

Albarn has fun sending up Blur's cheeky pop on songs like '5/4' and 'Re-Hash,' their trip-hop experiments on 'New Genious' and 'Sound Check,' and 'Song 2'-like thrash-pop on 'Punk' and 'M1 A1.' Despite the similarities between Albarn's main gig and his contributions here, Gorillaz isn't an Albarn solo album in disguise Nakamura's bass- and beat-oriented production gives the album an authentically dub and hip-hop-inspired feel, particularly on 'Rock the House' and 'Tomorrow Comes Today.' Likewise, Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Miho Hatori, and Ibrahim Ferrer's vocals ensure that it sounds like a diverse collaboration rather than an insular side project. Since their debut in 2001, Gorillaz have released nine full albums and, although they are all very high-quality projects, some fail to reach the level of commercial success and cultural impact of.

Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez (2020) 4. Musically, however, Gorillaz is a cutely caricatured blend of Albarn's eclectic Brit-pop and Nakamura's equally wide-ranging hip-hop, and it sounds almost as good as the band looks. Gorillaz are a far cry from Damon’s Britpop band Blur, and cover more electronic music and hip hop as well as world music. It's too bad that there isn't a DVD version of Gorillaz, with videos for every song, à la the DVD version of Super Furry Animals' Rings Around the World. And initially, Gorillaz' self-titled debut feels incomplete when Hewlett's imagery is removed the concept of Gorillaz as a virtual band doesn't hold up as well when you can't see the virtual bandmembers.

The amazing 'Thriller'-meets-Planet of the Apes clip for 'Clint Eastwood' is so visually clever that it's easy to take the song's equally clever, hip-hop-tinged update of the Specials' 'Ghost Town' for granted. Admittedly, Hewlett's edgy-cute characterizations of 2-D, Gorillaz' pretty boy singer (who looks a cross between the Charlatans' Tim Burgess and Sonic the Hedgehog), sinister bassist Murdoc, whiz-kid guitarist Noodle, and b-boy drummer Russel are so arresting that they almost detract from Gorillaz' music. Gorillaz 's eponymous debut was an international hit right out of the gate in 2001, thanks in part to the moody, slinky smash single 'Clint Eastwood.' Its sunny counterpart, 'Feel Good Inc.,' was an even bigger hit in 2005, while its parent album, Demon Days, revealed how Albarn used Gorillaz as a way to absorb non-rock music while also. It's tempting to judge Gorillaz - Damon Albarn, Tank Girl creator Jamie Hewlett, and Dan 'The Automator' Nakamura's virtual band - just by their brilliantly animated videos and write the project off as another triumph of style over substance. 2001 +31 3.49 19,782 183 Gorillaz 2001 +3 2.67 1,466 22 Laika Come Home remixes 2002 Spacemonkeyz versus Gorillaz 4.07 16 Demon Days Instrumentals 2005 +20 3.82 29,774 251 Demon Days 2005 3.84 16 Plastic Beach Instrumentals 2010 +14 3.75 23,481 207 Plastic Beach 2010 +5 2.63 6,579 56 The Fall 2010 +13 2.52 12,426 97 Humanz 2017 +5 2.
