[Xylus]

Empire Ants > all

Melancholy Hill is my favorite.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'll have a listen.

I thought Demon Days was genius, especially the last three songs which run together as one...


What the fuck?

and btw, that dog in your sig creeps me the fuck out

No shit, it has human eyes photoshopped in there. How come no-one has worked this out yet?

[tlongII]

Gorillaz kicks ass. One of the few that I actually like these days.

[IronMexican]

Jah

[CuckingFunt]

Awww. You guys made a play date. How sweet!



Like what I've heard of the new album, thought it hasn't been much.

[CubanSucks]

Am I the only one who likes Gorillaz and Korn and Radiohead and Nirvana?

[IronMexican]

dirk, im on. Let's go.

[IronMexican]

dirk punking out.

I wonder how ATRAIN feels. It's like on all those kid shows where the bully says "Meet me at the water fountain 5 minutes after school" and he's contemplating showing up, and in his head , he's like "Should I show up?"

[IronMexican]

Goddamnit, dirk. Fuck you.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Everybody should quit making fun of ATRAIN's Korn obsession. Remember he was a very angry kid. He just revealed to me that he was in a mosh pit at a Metallica concert. His teenage angst was deep.

[Duff McCartney]

Great band! Love Gorillaz. Their first two albums were really good and from what I've heard of this one it's really good as well. One of the better bands out today along with The Killers.

Crazy that Damon Albarn was in Blur too, but I like Gorillaz infinitely more than I like Blur.

[redzero]

The Killers

good

Pick one, bro.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This album is fantastic. A pleasant surprise to see this thread on here.

I hope people who are into this band check out Damon Albarn's first band Blur.

Those guys were incredible.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Am I the only one who likes Gorillaz and Korn and Radiohead and Nirvana?

You must be. I fucking hate Korn.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This album is fantastic. A pleasant surprise to see this thread on here.

I hope people who are into this band check out Damon Albarn's first band Blur.

Those guys were incredible.

I have pretty much Blur's entire catalogue, and while I love their work, their albums suffer from the 5 great songs/5 fillers problem. I'd recommend their self-titled as their best album (especially Beetlebum and Death of a party), and otherwise go with the Greatest Hits which covers most of the fantastic tracks from the breadth of their career like There's no other way, For Tomorrow and Boys and Girls.

[IronMexican]

Didn't Blur finally break up?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Didn't Blur finally break up?

After about 15 years, yes. Then Albarn moved on to Gorillaz. And your point?

[oh crap]

I hope people who are into this band check out Damon Albarn's first band Blur.

who in the fuck has never heard of blur? not exactly obscure.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

A few of my favourite Blur tracks as mentioned above (best heard deafening loud, same as most Britpop):

Ohhh I dunno Ruff, I have Blur's entire catalogue as well, and I think everything from "Modern Life is Rubbish" all the way through "Think Tank" has been great. I think a greatest hits is nice for someone new to the band, but they've got some killer album tracks that people would miss out on. "Parklife" in particular is definitely a classic all the way through.

Granted, they've got some rubbish songs ("Crazy Beat" in particular) but I think Blur is one of the most consistent bands since 1990. What sucks, is that in North America, most people only know them because of "Song 2", so the "whoo hoo guys" don't get nearly as much credit around here as they deserve.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

At least 75% of the people here I'm willing to bet have only heard "Song 2".

Fair enough. I think they really hit their stride on Blur, which I can listen to all the way through, but before that I find their albums patchy and annoying. Each to his own I guess. You are right though that the greatest hits misses a lot of great album tracks.

As for the Song 2 comment, I can totally see that. The really annoying thing is that Song 2 isn't even in the top 3 tracks on the album IMHO.

[redzero]

At least 75% of the people here I'm willing to bet have only heard "Song 2".

Song 2? I've heard of Woohoo, but not Song 2.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Song 2? I've heard of Woohoo, but not Song 2.

Track listing for Blur:

1. "Beetlebum" – 5:04
2. "Song 2" – 2:02
3. "Country Sad Ballad Man" – 4:50
4. "M.O.R." – 3:27 (Albarn/David Bowie/Coxon/Brian Eno/James/Rowntree)
5. "On Your Own" – 4:26
6. "Theme from Retro" – 3:37
7. "You're So Great" – 3:35 (Coxon)
8. "Death of a Party" – 4:33
9. "Chinese Bombs" – 1:24
10. "I'm Just a Killer for Your Love" – 4:11
11. "Look Inside America" – 3:50
12. "Strange News from Another Star" – 4:02
13. "Movin' On" – 3:44
14. "Essex Dogs" / "DanceHall" / "Interlude" (hidden track) – 11:24

The name of the song is Song 2, not Woohoo. :rolleyes

And yeah, just looking at that again, get this album... it really is a killer all the way through. :tu

[IronMexican]

After about 15 years, yes. Then Albarn moved on to Gorillaz. And your point?

They actually tried to give it another run. Whatevs though. Like you said, they were the type of band that you could get it all in a greatest hits collection.

I was joking. I've already listened to Parklife, 13 and Think Tank.

[Duff McCartney]

I was never a big Blur fan. One of my cousins friends is a huge fan of Blur. I always sided with Oasis more than Blur.

As for Song 2 that happens with alot of bands, especially British bands. 75 percent of people only know them by one song...case in point..Oasis with Wonderwall.

[Spurminator]

Why the fuck is Snoop Dogg on this album??

[oh crap]

i dont love it. i might have to give it another listen but so far it doesn't do much for me.

[InRareForm]

I lvoe this album. Little Dragon goes perfectly with what the Gorillaz brought. Empire Ants, Binge, Stylo, Rhinestone are all top notch.

There are a couple filler tracks it seems (sweepstakes), but overall it is a solid album. There aren't many groups out there that touch different genres of music and make it seem one genre with their unique style.

[oh crap]

Gorillaz coming to Austin on 10/22.

[badfish22]

Melancholy Hill is my favorite.

:tu

[mingus]

this album was a let down. there's like 3 songs that are good. bad album.

[CubanSucks]

Stylo and Empire Ants are the only ones I like. But I'm a real picky song person

[InRareForm]

US Tour Dates announced

http://gorillaz.com/tour-dates

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Currently my two favorite bands are Korn and Radiohead.

[redzero]

Currently my two favorite bands are Korn and Radiohead.

You don't seriously listen to Korn, do you?

[mingus]

You don't seriously listen to Korn, do you?

Korn has put out some good stuff imo. they're pretty outdated, but moreso is Lou Reed

[Greg Oden]

Korn has put out some good stuff imo. they're pretty outdated, but moreso is Lou Reed

First finding out you're a racist due to Amare becoming Jewish, and now liking Korn. I'm sensing a pattern here, tbh.

[mingus]

bro, the only pattern there is bro is you acting like a homo and stalking me, bro. seriously, bro, back the fuck up, bro. Bro, damn, bro, bro.

[IronMexican]

Song 2? I've heard of Woohoo, but not Song 2.

rofl


my favorite pink floyd song is we don't need no education.

[IronMexican]

I listen to everything except country and rap

[IronMexican]

it's the year 2002 and I'm using kazaa. Look, it's stairway to heaven.mp3.128kbps. Featuring pink floyd

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

The only song I liked was Melancholy Hill

[redzero]

Empire Ants, Plastic Beach, Broken, Melancholy Hill, Glitter Freeze and Stlyo are great.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

And regarding Plastic Beach, it's an alright album. I couldn't stand Stylo though. Demon Days was much better.

[InRareForm]

Demon Days > Gorillaz > Plastic Beach
