It features guest appearances by such artists as Snoop Dogg, Gruff Rhys, De La Soul, Bobby Womack, Mos Def, Lou Reed, Mark E. Smith, Bashy, Kano and Little Dragon.
    Plastic Beach received mostly positive reviews, and was later named one of the decade's best albums by several critics. In 2020, the album was ranked at 74 on the 100 Best Albums of the Century list by Stacker.[1] The album debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, selling approximately 74,432 copies in its first week. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with 112,000 copies sold in its first week; overall it reached the top 10 in 22 countries in total.

    This album had multiple songs on it where I (a 19 year old raised on country music up until demon days) would find myself saying “wait, music can be like THAT??”

  • @masonstillmatic
    @masonstillmatic Před rokem +6

    Albarn’s opus and a conceptual masterwork. The subject matter, the crafting of the world, the production. Superfast into Empire is a stroke of absolute genius. The hopelessness of the subject matter, while you’re caressed by the beauty of the sound invokes the exact feeling it’s aiming to produce via the words and turns it into a feeling. Unapologetically pulls you into acknowledging the reality of the world.
    Album is incredibly cinematic too, so easy to picture the Gorillaz washing up on plastic beach, defeated and withdrawn. Making use of the technology of the island to create songs to express those feelings. Rhinestone, Superfast, Empire, Melancholy Hill, Nature, Sweepstakes. The conceptual through-line of this album is almost unparalleled.
