Any comments on Gorillaz Plastic Beach Album? - Off-topic

Well i thought id make this thread because this album is quite unusual.
also congrats to the band!
Any comments or reviews?
Thanks
flyboy

I heard someone tell me is was great, but I haven't downloaded it yet. Stay tuned...

Well being a UK kid @ the time Brit Pop was the bomb and Blur was one of the best then Gorillaz for the Hip-Hop culture is also the definitive of crossover.
Very similar to the other 2 albums beatz laden\Synth Strings with US rappers\The classics.
If you wanna check out another couple albums check Dan The Automator - Wanna Buy A Monkey as he's Gorillaz and Handsome Boy Modeling School

Here's some links on it:
Video for "Stylo," featuring Bruce Willis.Video for "Stylo," featuring Bruce Willis.
And well, I had a stream link, but it's no longer up. Still haven't given it a listen, though.
I liked "Stylo," and the video for it was pretty cool, too.

I watched the stylo video yesterday and another new song by them and I have to say that they songs suck (but the Bruce Willis video was creative).

I dont think the songs have got the same feel to them as the last album.

Favourite Progressive Rock artist :)

wondering if anyone using this forum likes progressive rock or symphonic rock. Tell me your favourite prog rock artist. My fav is Genesis and Rush
what is progresssive rock ?
i like peter and the testtube babies
Aye, I like Rush, Genesis, Peter Gabriel and Porcupine Tree
Dream Theater is the best progressive rock band for me!
Dream theatre and porcupine tree are awesome bands too. Both bands are much more like progressive metal
RUSH..........simply the best.
missed them recently due to lack of funds but saw them in 2004 at wembley arena.
blow any new bands off stage.
Ignore this post

Rush was at their best during the 70's and 80's. Their newest album snakes and arrows totally kicks ass even afer like 3 decades. Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee and Neil Peart are freakin' awesome together.
saw them way back in '79 the first time, my friend.....hemispheres tour.(?)
reckon they are better now than then even.....was great to see a whole crowd of '40 somethings' with no hair trying to headbang,,,,but we tried lol.

too bad i didn't exist during the 70's to see Rush If not it would have been an awesome view.
But however I did see the snakes and arrows tour on TV
coheed and cambria
Dream Theater and Rush.
I'm a huge fan of Fourth Estate and now their front man Dave Beegle (since they've now broken up). Fourth Estate was definitely in the Prog/Instrumental Rock category and then Dave Beegle is now doing more solo classical guitar. Awesome stuff.
Savatage is good too (they turned into Trans-Siberian Orchestra), they are a bit more 'rock operaish', but still good stuff.

I find playing an instrument requires a lot of patience and passion. I started off with the piano but i gave up because i wasnt determined to play the piano. Only my parents forced me to play piano
you should give it another go on the guitar

i find playing the guitar is the second most addictive thing on earth apart from computer games. I dont think i will ever give up playing the guitar
its a good choice you bought a strat too cuz they rule
Here they are...
Couldn't live without them!
Epiphone Les Paul elec (left handed! - LEFTIES RULE!!)
Fender acoustic
VOX AC30
BOSS ME-8 effects
Alesis SR16 drum machine
Fostex DMT-8VL 8 track
....I could go on!!
Was a massive passion of mine...and (like most budding rockers out there) I nearly made it big (well, my band did!).
I have a penchant for heavy metal, but tend to struggle on the solos
Also been DJing drum n bass on my 1210's for the past 11 years.
I'm not sure why, but I would imagine you might find quite a few phone/music enthusiasts here...must be some strange link somewhere...probably the classic man/gadget/needtorock urges!!
I play guitar & sing togther, I love to upload video but I'm sure no one wanna see
but you can see my guitar at my piano video the links in my signture, my other guitar in the other corner
my cousin is the great guitarist I can upload video for him, I'm sure no on hate him yet
Paco is my favorite in guitar
the piano composers in my signture
I play guitar among other instruments. but the last years I mainly play Keyboards... I've released some Death metal cd in the past where I played all instruments.
I love guitar and music, too.
I like dream theater, fates warning, porcupine tree and millions other band. Now I'm mostly involved into american hard rock-journey, survivor, pride of lions (POL have the greatest, technically speaking, singer amongst any other music band....), but I really like every musical style when done with passion - speak classical, fusion, funk...
Yup.
I play in my church band regularly, and out in folk clubs here in the UK.
I have 4 acoustic guitars:
Martin HD-28 The best of the bunch of em
http://www.acousticthai.net/acoustic108/standard_series_martin/HD28.jpg
Martin 00-17 now back in the US with my daughter so I can play when I visit, This is a remake of the original 00-17 made in the 30's
http://www.thinmanmusic.com/Moo17.jpg
Babicz Spider Great guitar and is always a talking point when I play it out
http://www.larkstreetmusic.com/list/pict/BABBO.jpg
Guild F65ce I have had this for about 15yrs and it was 2nd hand when I got it, great for vamping and thrashing but a little too narrow in the neck for finger style. Mine is sunburst finished

My cd's were only released in my Country Faroe Islands but I'm shure some songs can be found on the net
by first project was called Internal Healing where I released 2 cd's "Darkside of truth" and "Immaculate Imanent Immutable Impetus" the other project was Human Caos "Selfdestruction"
But what I make now is mainly Trance and Electronica.
No I never played the piano but one of my kayboards is a 88 fully weighted keys so it's almost a piano
I play jazz guitar. You can hear short excerpts of my latest album on www.legopulver.com would be excited to hear any feed back! enjoy.

Favorite Band

Since I'm bored and didn't search and see if there was a thread like this already lol. So the question is, What's your favorite band?
Mine is:
Muse FTW!
If I had to pick a current band it would be The Mars Volta
but I listen to a lot of underground Hip-Hop and in that case it would be MF DOOM

I hope you're joking because Muse has no members of Radiohead they just copied off of them...
and came no where near the genius that is Thom Yorke
got to be kings of leon
the new album is pretty giid, but not a touch on aha shake heartbreak
love the killers too (saw them at reading which was amazing)
bit of the klaxons
and just a bit less than KOL: the libertines
I dont have a favourite band, so my selection is colourful :
The Clash
The Ramones
Dead Kennedys
The Pixies
Iron Maiden
Anthrax
Metallica
New Order
Blur

Manic Street Preachers

That is what I was implying Shane, that they copied everything Radiohead did so thus I like Radiohead better. Also I don't think that most people a little younger then me realize that Muse was a huge joke when they came out but because they are still around they somehow have this credibility...lol.
I like alot of bands, but the band im really into at the moment is ELBOW.
They have just won the Mercury Music Award here in the UK and the album The Seldom Seen Kid is just amazing. Would recommend it
No Finnish metal? Strange.
Korpiklaani ****ing rocks!!!
I like too many bands to list all, but this band has been breaking the sound barrier's for some time: MINISTRY
Minor Threat for their influence on me
Flyleaf
Aroarah
Pipedown
Audio Karate
All That Remains
Heaven Shall Burn
and the progressive increase in length up there was by complete accident lol.
MUSE!!! Duhhh, I am a pwoper pwoud MUSER!

i listen to rock as well, thin lizzy, acdc, white snake, lynyrd skynyrd stuff lik tht, not really into any modern rock. i vary my tastes tho, and that youtube song i put up b4 is supposed to be like that, all glitchy n sounding lik a scratched cd lol but it in no way sounds like trance lol. most music sounds the same anyways, they all have a rythmic beat, a bass note on the third and a lead, chorus and beat down.

and you cant really base your musical tastes on an article that someone else wrote? if you need someone else to tell you if a certain song or genre is good or bad music then you might as well not listen to music at all.

that article is a load of crap, it says you need no musical talent :s im pretty sure it does, ive been producing music for a while now and its easily as hard as playing an instrument, i also play the guitar so i can talk from both sides of the argument. it isnt easy to do what a sound engineer would do to your track but from your bedroom. i also had to learn the piano so that i could work on my midi keyboard with chord progressions etc, it takes years and years of fiddling round on the computer and learning chords and scales before you can even make a half decent track.
Oh! I thought all music can be your favorite
