 Concept albums are back (?) July 31, 2010
Bob from Ossie (People's Republic of Oswaldtwistle)
Just when you thought they had been relegated to history the concept album makes a reappearance. It's OK - not a masterpiece, but then a genre that takes some getting used to.
Wonderful, Must Buy Album July 18, 2010
A. Pilkington (Devon, England)
Plastic Beach is my favourite Gorillaz album to date. Like some other reviewers, I had to listen to it a few times to really get to love it, but some of the songs are truly beautiful, both musically and vocally. Some of Damon Albarn's vocals are really great, as are ones from Little Dragon singer Yukimi Nagano, who has a beautiful voice.
As with previous Gorillaz albums, I did not find all tracks to my liking, but this collection contains some truly great music. My favourites include Stylo, Empire Ants, On Melancholy Hill, Broken and To Binge.
For me, Gorillaz get better with the release of each album, Gorillaz being my least favourite, Demon Days is good, but Plastic Beach is great, and is amongst my favourite albums of all time.
Brilliant July 17, 2010

Great album from start to finish, brilliant collaborations with Mos Def, Snoop Dog, De La Soul, the amazing Bobby Womack and many more. Great combination of beautiful music, lyrics and beats. Gorillaz never disappoint.
 Disappointing with interesting snatches July 9, 2010

Not as accessible as the first and may take many listens to really appreciate it.
An album that improves with listening June 29, 2010

Sometimes you buy an album for that great song you have heard and you love to hear it and there are a few other good tracks on the album but you keep listening and it loses its interest. Here Gorillaz have created something that improves over time. I bought it on the day it was released, listened to it once and thought - hmm well the other albums were much better. There is no Clint Eastwood or Feel Good Inc, there is no stand out song and too much rap.
Then I saw them at Glastonbury and a few songs shone through - White Flag and Glitter Freeze so I went back to listen again. Then I realised I had been missing out on something special Superfast Jellyfish, Rhinestone Eyes ... The Gorillaz still have it whatever it is. How can you describe a group that one second uses Brass, then mass strings and a Lebanese Orchestra while mixing it with rap and synth? Crazy and amazing fusion.
