I've only heard it once. It's the least impressive of the main Gorillaz trilogy, but it's entertaining. Rhinestone Eyes is really good.

"Demon Days" is great for it's fun rhythms and diversity, while Plastic Beach is mostly rap-based and slow-paced.

I actually remember this coming out. I was a big Gorillaz fan and when I first heard the album, I absolutely loved it. I plan on listening to it again since my love for it is becoming more obscure to me.

I used to like it a lot more when it came out first, it's still pretty good though, my third favourite Gorillaz album. Superfast Jellyfish and Some Kind Of Nature are pretty cool.

A little bit underrated this one is. Probably my least favorite Gorillaz album, aside from The Fall. At any rate, it's still very good. Damon Albarn is king.

Track picks
5. Stylo (ft. Bobby Womack & Mos Def)
6. Superfast Jellyfish (ft. Gruff Rhys & De La Soul)
7. Empire Ants (ft. Little Dragon)
12. Sweepstakes (ft. Mos Def & Hypnotic Brass Ensemble)

I love "Meloncholy Hill" so much it hurts.

I also love "Stylo", the one with Snoop and "Rhinestone Eyes". I like a few others. Overall I really dig this album. And I need to revisit it.
