Thread: Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

Visually the allusion is everywhere.

Sorry, I didn't mean him literally there.

Right on. I love the car turning shark-bot at the end, presumably headed for Plastic Beach.

Video for Stylo makes an unnotable, average track superb.

That's not really how my philosophy of music goes.

Try philosophy of multi-media. The music alone is a certain quality, the video is a certain quality, but together they are a different quality.

You aren't judging them separately when you judge a music video. A track might complement the video and add things that alone it didn't have.

I'll admit, however, that relistenings to Stylo alone imply that it's growing on me.

The only thing I didn't like about the video is the obvious lack of Russel. Of course, I guess that's to be expected seeing as he's the drummer, and Stylo is mostly a techno track. Willis showing up was hilarious, as well as the events after.

The video makes me see Stylo in a whole new light. When I first heard it, I automatically thought of driving down the road through a city at night. After watching the vid, I see now that this song is better suited for daytime listening. I'll probably get it from iTunes this afternoon.

Edit; just looked it up, no his tracks are some of my favorites on the other albums. Although I am looking forward to hearing the Mos Def tracks.

Mos Def is worth listening to, but I can echo your disappointment with the lack of Funkee.

Good point.
