Gorillaz: The Fall - CraveOnline

Christmas morning was hotly anticipated by Gorillaz fans in 2010, as the promised free albumThe Fall became available to fan club members but after Santa snatched his cookies and dropped his load. For some, the event is a stripped & exhilarating journey of digital experimentation and venture on the route in unfamiliar territories. For others, it`s a blow of self-indulgent minimalist electronic meandering with mere shades of promise.

Gorillaz "The Light" Review

GORILLAZThe Fall

* * * 1/2

The Fall, Damon Albarn`s fourth full-length album under the Gorillaz moniker, consists of fifteen electronic tracks that don`t really do any purpose-the album doesn`t run easily at all, and they absolutely sound like what they are, namely iPad-created experiments created by Albarn on the 2010 Gorillaz American tour.Some of them are rather good; some are unlistenable.

a small boy waits. The Gorillaz (as far as I think it)

The Gorillaz (as far as I think it)
Shit. What the fuck happened last night? Did the Gorillaz just work their final show EVER? Did The Clash just get back together? Why is that dude from 'Blur' tattooed on my girlfriend`s tity? Did I truly see Bobby Womack wearing Bishop Don Juan`s suit? Nah, must have been the acid. Whose melodica is this? _ Holdup_ (*In Celine voice*) It`s all coming second to me now.

Gorillaz - Sydney Entertainment Centre - Music - Time Out Sydney

Review: Many days ago, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett sat in the level they shared, watching time after clip on MTV, their minds becoming progressively duller as they realized how rarely anything of content was being produced. It was from this that the player and artist decided to create Gorillaz, a cartoon band whose visual component was only as significant and creative as the music.

Welcome to the creation of the plastic beach – Gorillaz ft. Snoop .

Gorillaz and the boss Dogg
Planet of the apes
The rotation will be televised
And the contamination from the ocean
Now with devotion
Push peace and hold it in motion
Kids, gather around

The Essex Boy Review: GORILLAZ – G Sides (!00!)

GORILLAZ - G Sides (2002)
I thought Blur were pretty prolific back in the 1990s, putting loads of weird and wonderful stuff on their CD single extra tracks. But as for Damon Albarn in Noughties?! He`s proved nearly inconceivable to hold up with and the constant high measure of the music he puts out is pretty damn incredible!

This album should be weak really.
