Damon Albarn and Co are back with a wicked piece of work, ready the set to road for many to follow with this highly collaborated album ‘Plastic beach’. The 3rd in the exceedingly exciting Gorillaz collection.
Forget the cartoons and pop anthems of the Gorillaz past and welcome a very full of beans ‘hip pop’ album. This album as something for everyone, so many great artists, differing sounds and moods. Snoop Dogg, Kano, De La soul and Lou Reed (yes LOU REED!!) all feature on this awesome publication. It’s so good it kind of makes you giggle almost; it’s exhilarating on the first listen round. Imagine a kid at Christmas unveiling each gift. This is the only way to describe it! Some presents are better than others, but to be honest there all bloody brilliant.
Let’s face it, It’s very rare Albarn gets it wrong, it would be great to see another blur album alongside this, but that’s for another day, The Gorillaz seem to have gone on a great journey to get this album put together. They must know they have smashed it with ‘plastic beach’, electrifying, exciting and as cool as Pingu in Ray bans.
