      I'm not sure If they intended another possible meaning but with global warming the sea life is diminishing but jellyfish population only increasing with warmer seas causing that to be a "main source of food" later on.

      @cg_2k72 Před rokem +6

      @@Luka-jk5ww It's both. Firstly, it's an ad in the middle of the album - but the ad is also a futuristic one where obviously climate change has affected food supply so much that people are needing to eat jellyfish. But the underlying message is that instead of working to fix the problem, companies will spend more time trying to sell the problem to consumers.

    Honestly sweepstakes is one of my fav gorillaz song. it rly shows how music cant sound good if its not complete and it kinda sounds horrible at the beginning but upon adding instruments and new beats it becomes complete and is such a bop and to prove it again they remove everything from the music and it sounds bad again

  • @DinoDiego16
    @DinoDiego16 Před 2 lety +13

    I've always loved how Gorillaz have been simultaneously consistent and versatile with their music and I feel that Plastic Beach embodies that. Along with it's subtle messages and great collaborators, its definitely my favorite album from them.

  • @AurumKHK

    I really like Stylo but I dont find many others that do. Its not their *greatest* song but I really enjoy it when paired with its video. Although it might be confusing if watched by someone that didn't follow along with the story thing they had going on at the time.

    gorillaz music is honestly just timeless, they somehow cater to all kinds of tastes, and are very tasteful and definitely follow along what's popular at the moment. their recent music is something that could be listened to in the beginning in the beginning of their career, and their old music doesn't ever feel old at all, in other words, like i said - timeless.

    it's wild seeing how long it has been since plastic beach came out and nothing about the world changed, in fact it has gotten worse. The album is called Plastic Beach, a beach literally made out of plastic waste in the middle of the pacific ocean and most of the songs take jabs at how much our world and life style is screwed up consumerism wise.

    I love the band and this album, but this took a little while to grow on me. Like there are spectacular songs, but I did need to warm up to other tracks. I think there is some overproduced songs. Where previous albums had layers, this album purposely crashes transitions from one track to the other. Overall I do enjoy this album.
