Gorillaz

I could not wait for this album to end. I do not get it, I was bored out of my mind. Nothing really more to say about this, possibly the worst album I've listened to so far.

I dislike pretty much everything about this.

Groupe connu par quelques un de ses tubes, peu appréciés. Rien de bien original dans cet album bien trop long. Il est basé sur des samples pas forcément très bons, et ce dès le premier morceau, très répétitif par conception. Les boucles de batteries ne sont vraiment pas terribles ('Tomorrow Comes Today' très hip-hop). Et les morceaux sont généralement plutôt mous. Je me suis ennuyé assez vite, et j'ai zappé les derniers morceaux tellement je les ai trouvé inintéressants. =>1/5

No

did not like it

Kedeligt. De to ellers ok hits kan ikke redde noget.

Not in my edition of the book! 2001. 1 star. Blur outtakes. Fine if you like Damon Albarn, which I don't. One can only hope he sticks to collecting fossils instead of producing inexplicably popular shit like this.

Hate this band. Hate Damon Albarn. Hate this album. Simple as.

I would rather hit myself in the thumb with a hammer a couple hundred times than listen to this album.

Not very good music for humans. For gorillas though? Pretty impressive.

As innovating as their virtual artistry may be, their music is mind-numbingly boring.

Critical darlings but this just passed me by. Listened a few times over the weekend but nothing really grabbed me outside of the singles I already knew.

Generic kiddie-pop. This band is widely regarded as a joke… quite possibly cause they are one. Ain't my thing and I couldn't care much less if I never hear this again.

I thought I might like this album, but there was so much straight up noise that I got annoyed. I found this album made me angry after a point, and it is one of the very few albums I did not even finish. Hard pass.

Really? I have to listen this before I die? Why?

tough listen for most of these here folks slow country m1a1

A maior parte do disco é um punhado de colagens disconexas e confusas, sem nenhuma melodia. "Rock The House" e "19-2000" trazem algum apelo melódico, mas sem despertar o interesse. Um álbum que soa como uma piada despretenciosa, sem nenhuma intenção de fazer ou mostrar algo, musicalmente.

If you produce this kinda stuff its as well to hide behind cartoons.

Just inexplicably boring and I hate some of the vocals. I’m sure it was seminal and influential in its time, but not something I would choose to listen to. Demon Days is better.

Meh

A boring, jumbled, rambling mess. I’ll skip the cartoons too.

A waste of my time.

This is truly horrible. I cannot understand how this has made the list, it really sounds like nothing, and no, that's not a compliment. It's just ridiculous, talentless would-be music. Bweuh.

Never particularly understood the whole Damon Albarn brand of alt music, be it Blur or Gorillaz. This was a difficult listen and I didn't actually manage to make it through the album. It's definitely not what I would consider good music, but that's just my personal preference. I can appreciate Gorillaz for their cultural impact and all, just don't make me listen to them again.

There might, MIGHT be 3 good songs here. The animation was cool but this doesn’t feel like a cool supergroup. It feels like wankery for no good reason.

Nicht meins. Ein Lied mit Sternchen ist ganz nett.

Messy and monotonous. Sounds quite grating. Strange instrumentals. Not a fan of the nasally, sloppy vocals. Weird lyrics too lol.

The Good: We’ve got cartoons! The Bad: The music isn’t as cool as the cartoons… The Ugly: Realizing that guerrilla warfare does not apply well within the music industry! Some days you wake up and look forward to finding out what the next album is going to be… so I saw this, and my excitement disappeared like snowflakes in the sun. I never understood why so many people were excited with Gorillaz, granted, I did enjoy the cartoonesque aspect that the band had, where nobody was excactly sure who the members were. But that doesn’t take away the fact that it is shit 2000’s music, while it was mr Blur who decided that he needed to create better music than the crap that was being published back then… crap in, crap out. Anyway, I’ve spent too much time talking about me NOT liking this… 1*

couldn't get through it

TERRIBLE. Not my vibe at ALL. Like maybe 1 or 2 songs I didn't mind, but overall it was like each person playing an instrument was playing a different song and some rando was spewing nonsense rap over it.

God I hate this band.

1/5

I was able to listen to it one time, just to get know, but never more... :D

Pish

It’s not virtual anything- it’s real people playing real music hiding behind cartoons and made up names. Pure gimmickry to hide lackluster talent

It's just Blur, but with sad comic book characters thrown in. I actually figured that maybe, just maybe, the Gorillaz album might have some interesting stuff on it. I've heard the big hits before, and found them wanting. Seems the album is just the hits with filler added, bad filler, to go with the sad comic stuff. There's only so much I can listen to Damon singing in a strange squeaky voice over a generic dub background. One star.

"If you watch MTV for too long, it's a bit like hell – there's nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that." Well they failed spectacularly at that goal. They did however succeeded in fitting in with MTV by producing an album with absolutely no substance what so ever. One of the reviewers here suggested listening to Deltron 3030 and while I can't say I like them much more but at least they produced something with a little more substance. So Gorillaz 1 star, Deltron 3030 2 stars.

1 hour and 4 minutes too long

Oof

Utterly forgettable at best, unlistenable and pretty confusing to be honest. I still feel like I do not understand this album at all - I don’t know what Gorillaz were trying to achieve with this. Every song feels like it belongs to a different genre and/or album (and I’m not saying this as a compliment). First album I was not able to finish listening to, and first one star album for me so far, 1.3/5 at best.

Great, an hour of Damon Albarn trying to convince everyone he’s cool. Not falling for it, Damon.

This website loves to pin me down and kick me in the bollocks over and over again

Nicht meine Richtung

would be a 0 if i could

fuck off

Comforting chill start with the first four songs. When things picked up, it wasn't really my bag. I wonder if this made the 1001 list because of the 'virtual band' element more than the music? I guess it does sound modern for 2001. Becomes more experimental, but I'm finding it bland. I like Latin Simone and Starshine and M1 A1.

1/5. Definitely a trial period. Without Clint Eastwood this would not have gotten a second chance. Thankfully it did but dang this album does not age well. So many just unlistenable songs, like someone trying out electronic music for the first time. Even Clint Eastwood isn't that good, couldn't push myself to even finish the album. Best Song: Clint Eastwood but barely

this one leaves me cold

Not for me 1/5

Made me angry how bad this was

More than anything, it's just boring.

I do not enjoy nor would i return to any but one song. In terms of 1001 best albums ever, this is certainly on a much lower end

Dated with one good song. Not Damon’s best.

Clint Eastwood and Double Bass are great songs. A couple of others are okay, and I think that everything else on this album is just pure garbage. And that Clint Eastwood remix at the end is fucking horrible I hope I never have to listen to Daman Albarn again

дд

At the time I hated the song “Clint Eastwood,” it was playing everywhere. The song hasn't gotten any better and the rest of the album isn't any better either.

Meh

God did not give me the tools to put up with this

Ghastly. I listened to the first three songs hoping it might get better, but then I couldn't take it anymore.

Sucks

Eliminated by choice all songs with explicit content. Of the songs I heard, I'd give the rating a zero if I could. A "1" rating implies there might be hope for this music ... which is not the case. Cannot Realistically Accept Poor (CRAP) music.

Not my thing.

gorilla

Gosh, this album was absolutely everywhere wasn't it. You couldn't move without hearing Clint Eastwood and at the time, it felt like something genuinely different and quirky. On reflection, this is dull dull dull - bring back joyful 1991 Leisure Damon please.

Not for me

Not really my music. Liked a couple of song but in my opinion a very ordinary album with no big highlights.

Definitely not for me.

No me gustó para nada. Parecían gatos llorando! .

Not for me

Not suited to my taste at all

nicht meine Musik

Not my type of music

Not my taste. Rock.

oh no, that was just noise & not even good noise

Not a Fan of it. Might have been the headache I had going into it, but did not make it fully through a single song. Stopped about 7 songs in

My first intentional experience with Gorillaz. Outside of some average beats, I find zero value in this music. I would like to apologize to Clint Eastwood on behalf of non-Gorillaz-enjoying humanity. .45

repetitive, and uninspired with a few highlights that keep this album away from a zero.

Nijakie, miałkie i bez polotu, nie mój klimat. Zahacza wszystkie gatunki, a jednocześnie żaden konkretnie. Ani pół dźwięku nie zostało ze mną na dłużej po odsłuchu.

I really didn't enjoy this at all.

A total load of bollocks that wasn’t good enough to become Blur b-sides 👍🏾

Not good

Not my thing at all. Clint Eastwood the only redeeming feature

Annoying fake band. Didn't need to hear this when it came out and didn't need to hear it now.

This did not do it for me felt a little rapish and can’t put a name in the other style. Sit care for it was just noise in the car in the way to work honestly road noise would have been better 1.25/5

I expected the worst, but: fuck me, this is *terrible*

A big fan of Blur and Albarn in general, but at the time of release, I didn't get the virtual band stuff. It's a Damon side project, it didn't need all the cartoon characters. That said, maybe it needed all that bullshit to sell it, as it is a bit boring in many places. The concept of mixing genres didn't seem to work very well in this case, certainly worked better on subsequent releases. Quite liked Man Research, 19-2000 (but even that isn't the single mix on the original album, that was added to the end of the album like some sort of extra which oddly is the standout track by a mile). Albarn finding life after Blur (at the time) a bit tough or self indulgent? - a high 1.

This is the first cartoon band I’ve listened to since The Archies in 1970. I knew immediately this wasn’t for me, so it’s a one ☝️ on the old score board. Sorry Damon, i much prefer your solo excursions into Mali music.

except clint eastwood hated every second of it

Definitely not my favourite album from them, I think I only really liked Clint Eastwood

Not for me and neither are their music videos

Apart from Clint Eastwood, this seems like one long jam session. Not a lot of thought into the album, lots of bells and whistles, very little enjoyment.

I was so depressed with this album, I mean cheer up. If they had remixed all songs like Clint Eastwood and 19-2000, would actually be quite good. But despite these two tracks, still doesn't lift it higher than a 1 as had to listen to that dross!

Humorous ringtone song

Shite

Made it through a fifth of the album. Noise. Sound clutter. Early 2000s urban youngish men whining about nothing.

It's a VERY experimental album. I like that about it, and I love Gorillaz to death. But this album really just sucks. Somehow even "Clint Eastwood" can't make up for the fuckery that's going on in this album. Somehow it's just the least enjoyable music to listen to. I'm giving this album a 1, just so I will remember what I felt about it. And also I love the coverart <3

Understandably dated, to my ear. I remember it being influential and important when released originally, but I found it mostly boring. A few catchy tunes. My opinion has been biased by overplays. This is gas station music at this point.

Desperately bland

spooky
