When it comes to the music, Plastic Beach is severely underrated. That being said, I’ll also be defending the band’s Phase three timeline, which not only includes the album but everything else associated with it.

There is a lot more to Gorillaz than just the music. However, the way I see it, Plastic Beach took everything that Demon Days did right, and brought it to a whole new level. * The band are recognised by The Guinness Book Of World Records as the planet’s Most Successful Virtual Act.Let me start off by saying that both Demon Days and Plastic Beach are amongst my favorite albums. A truly global phenomenon, Gorillaz have achieved success in entirely ground-breaking ways, touring the world from San Diego to Syria, winning numerous awards including the coveted Jim Henson Creativity Honor.

The BRIT and Grammy Award winning band’s subsequent albums are Demon Days (2005), Plastic Beach (2010), The Fall (2011), Humanz (2017) and The Now Now (2018). Created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, their acclaimed eponymous debut album was released in 2001. Virtual band Gorillaz is singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle and drummer Russel Hobbs. The cameras are rolling 24/7, the fourth wall is broken, the kettle is on, the chaos is real, the door is open… What’s coming next? Stay tuned. Song Machine - the cartoon music contraption which spits out brand new episodes fresh from the studio, as and when they happen - will see Gorillaz joined by an exciting and ever-evolving roster of as yet unannounced collaborators captured live in Kong Studios alongside the world’s most successful virtual band*. Gorillaz are once again disrupting the paradigm and breaking convention in their round the back door fashion with Song Machine, the newest concept from one of the most inventive bands around.
