Every Planet We Reach Is Dead is such an underrated banger on this album. Its just one of those songs that just makes you say "WTF" out loud. The Piano and the whole instrumentation in the end is one of the craziest things i have ever heard. Glad you showed your dad this album. Self-titled Gorillaz is a must-do as well :)

such a thoughtful commentary! i love that you guys hit some of their musical influences dead-on. also, i feel like danger mouse's production cannot be praised enough here the end note of this one used to seem weak to me until i saw the last 2 tracks performed live (like a lot of this band's material, even better in-person) and realized they're basically a functional handover/tribute to the backing vocalists who did such amazing work for them

This is one of my "if I was stuck on an island and could only bring a few records" album. It's just so good. I regularly listen to Gorillaz when making my art (them and Tame Impala are some of my getting in the flow state bands) I had a huge crush on Damon Albarn as a teen and loved *Blur in the 90s, haha. But, damnit if he hasn't become more talented and better looking with age. Gorillaz is in a league of its own. The melancholic haunting feeling of each song is entrancing. He is truly brilliant and an absolute musical genius. *I'm sure Mike Sr has heard of Blur, he couldn't have missed it. When the British invasion came back again in the 90s- I'm just guessing since I'm pretty sure at 47 I'm closer to his age :) Shoutout to us "olds"😂

So, this entire album was made as a commentary on the post 9/11 world, taking a more apocalyptic approach. El Mañana was supposed to depict a person who was high on drugs as he witnessed the towers falling. Every song is so deliberate in its lyrics, with El manana being the moment that the world ends, with each song after talking on the repricussions in the world, or how different people tried to cope/drown out the world. Brilliant concept

I disagree with this somewhat. I don't remember anybody having this view of the album. As far as I have seen from listening to it over and over for 20 years, plus everyone elses depiction. The album is commenting on the overconsumption of drugs. Coming from a dark place of addiction. "Don't get lost in heaven" speaking about the general sins of humanity, or the idea of overdosing on a drug that makes you feel extremely good. I think its just drug commentary on the breakdown of society

Great video. It's pronounced Al-bahrn like a barn. Also, interesting to note, back in the day it was unknown who was behind the Gorillaz project and it was kept a mystery with many people being speculated to be the singers/songwriters but eventually people figured it out and Damon Albarn Just eventually started putting himself out there as the creator. Your dad seems to like de la soul. You should do three feet high and rising!

Great video, amazing album. You did realize the narrator on ‘Fire coming out of a monkey’s head’ is Dennis Hopper? (I mean, the list of collaborators on these albums is crazy; that’s what Damon is a master at). Just the pure concept of art and music interweaving this well (it’s 50% Jamie Hewlett, who does all the visuals and animation, the artist that also illustrated Tankgirl amongst many others) is amazing to me. And yet it never get’s too ‘perfectionist’.
