They established this style with their self-titled album in 2001, extended it in Demon Days, and then perfected it in Plastic Beach. One of the things that make Gorillaz unique is their constant collaborations with several different artists. Plastic Beach also manages to close out the album a lot stronger than its predecessor, thanks to Bobby Womack who provides the beautiful vocals to “Cloud of Unknowing” before finally ending with the chilling yet poetic track, “Pirate Jet” which is guaranteed to give you goosebumps. “Orchestral Intro” sets up the rest of the album smoothly, while also segueing perfectly into “Welcome to The World of The Plastic Beach”. When comparing the opening tracks to both albums, Plastic Beach has Demon Days beat by a mile. “On Melancholy Hill”, “Stylo”, “Empire Ants” … I could go on and list every track off Plastic Beach, but I won’t. Its songs are often overshadowed by their more popular tracks such as “Feel Good Inc.” and “DARE” off Demon Days, which has diverted attention away from their other stuff. 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. Let me start off by saying that both Demon Days and Plastic Beach are amongst my favorite albums.
