Music reviews of Plastic Beach
Music Review: Gorillaz pull out all the stops on "Plastic Beach"
Rating: 5 Stars
In the past ten years, the Gorillaz have accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. Once conceived as a side project of Blur frontman Damon Albarn and "Tank Girl" creator Jamie Hewlett, ironically, got more attention and noteriety than Albarn's actual group. Their success is very surprising, given that Gorillaz isn't even a real band and they release a commercially viable album once almost every five years. While Dan The Automator produced their 2001 self titled debut, and Danger Mouse helmed their sophomore effort "Demon Days", this time around, the Gorillaz decide to produce the new album "Plastic Beach" themselves. On this album, they continue down the road of genre-bending madness, surprise cameos and all star guests appearances.
Starting off the album is "Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach" featuring an unlikely cameo from Snoop Dogg. This album also has appearances from music legends from all walks of life. Starting off the cameos are Bobby Womack on the first single "Stylo" and the ambient ballad "Cloud Of Unknowing", Lou Reed on "Some Kind Of Nature", and The Fall frontman Mark E. Smith on "Glitter Freeze". Even members of The Clash (Mick Jones and Paul Simonon) make cameos as well. A Gorillaz album wouldn't be complete without guest appearances from some of the most respected names in hip hop. De La Soul make their second appearance on a Gorillaz album on the catchy "Superfast Jellyfish", Mos Def appears on the aforementioned "Stylo" as well as on "Sweepstakes" and British rappers Bashy and Kano show up for the uptempo dance number "White Flag". The album closes out with the rather brief "Pirate Jet". As much genre hopping that goes on with a Gorillaz album, sonically they play it straight through most of the recording. Much of the album bears a heavy synth sound throughout, though it's a pretty strong record musically. In short, "Plastic Beach" is worth checking out.

Description of Plastic Beach
We rejoin the band as Murdoc the bass player is gathering musicians and collaborators to create the new album. The new Gorillaz empire is set on a strange floating island deep in the South Pacific at the furthest point from any land mass on the planet... Introducing Plastic Beach - an island made entirely of plastic, debris and the washed up remnants of humanity. Amongst the collection of historical remains and discarded rubble, Murdoc finds a book detailing the history of Man right up to the present day, except the last chapter "The End of Days" has been torn out - the future is missing. Time to get the band together, finish this album and have fun while the sun still shines...To complete the task, Murdoc has assembled some other musicians to join the band at Plastic Beach, these select people would join him on his floating Hellfire Club, as musicians, players and contributors in this wonky, damaged Plastic opera. Mos Def, Bobby Womack, The Horrors, Lou Reed, Little Dragon, rappers Kano and Bashy, Mark. E. Smith, Syrian orchestras, global musicians and more....All would be subpoena-ed to collaborate on this visionary Gorillaz record now on Vinyl!Alternative Rock CDs
