The lead singer is the legendary Damon Albarn, who also happens to be the lead singer of Blur. I really recommend you to listen to their albums as well.
Wish I could hear Empire Ants for the first time again. If I’m ever listening to it alone, I sometimes start to cry when Little Dragon comes in, something about it is so passionate and yearning
Empire Ants was where this album really got me... Was also my gateway to Little Dragon, who are fantastic in their own right. One of my favourite albums of all time.
great reaction! Stylo is Anthony fantanos favorite Gorillaz song and likely in most Gorillaz' fans top 10. But you do you haha Empire ants is iconic though Would love a reaction to demon days and song machine season 1
The lead singer is Damon Albarn from Blur. Gorillaz is his project on the side. You seem to like his voice - have a listen to the Blur track This Is A Low. A Blur album next maybe?!
Empire Ants is my fav off of this album and when you said "I feel like there's gonna be a switch up, but I don't want there to be a switch up" I feel you 😂but once you hear the switch up, you're like... touche Gorillaz lol
Also I highly and I mean HIGHLY recommend reacting to the music videos for these songs. These aren’t just normal music videos they have lore and stories behind them and it’s very entertaining
Lead singer is Damon Albarn and 2-D is the cartoon that portrays his voice. Please listen to Demon Days, I love it. Also you should look into the lore because it’s so absurd and hilarious
Do Blurs discography at some point, all Albarn besides a few great tracks sung by his lead guitarist Graham Coxham, Blur’s 13 is a v experimental artsy record that shows them at their most creative outside of Gorillaz, cheers
Very late comment, but just my overall take on the theme of the album. Most songs have a very cryptic underlying tone of being mournful for the environment and an attack on consumerism (like in Superfast Jellyfish). Some songs also appear to be ballads about relationships, like Rhinestone Eyes or To Binge. But its more to me like a ballad to mother nature, and how we are losing our connection to it through modern practices
I don't think I've enjoyed a Gorillaz album on first listen but Plastic Beach, Demon Days, and Self-titled are some of my all time favorites now. They're all definitely growers.
Gorillaz is not a real band. It is the frontman of popular 90s band 'Blur', Damon Albarn, who writes the songs and sings most of them. They are a virtual band set up by Damon at the beginning of the 2000s as an experiment.
the vocalist is Damon and he does the whole music, I think sometime he gets help with production but i thin he does the most of the thing, he also was the singer of blur, you should listen to them
Not as good as Demon Days, which is their best, and most highly acclaimed, album. Plastic Beach has some good songs (about half of them) but is overall bloated and overproduced. Then there's the fact that it's a concept album about a garbage pile. The entire thing reeks of trying too hard. Oh, and Gorillas is Damon Albarn's (from Blur) group.
Absolutely! This album was a big disappointment for Gorillaz fans when it came out. It bombed as far as sales go, as well. It's actually one of their worst selling albums in their discography and only sold 2.8 million albums to date! Demon Days sold over 11 million and their self titled (first) album sold 9 million. It's interesting because when it was released people initially liked it, but after a week or so of it coming out people started to talk about how they actually weren't caring for it too much. Upon first listen it sounds pretty cool but after hearing it two or three times you start to realize it's just not that great. Like Damon had this loose idea and instead of writing it all himself had a bunch of people collaborate on it. It has a lot of flash, and catchy tunes, but is overall a shallow album that has very little staying power. It kinda lulls you in with the illusion of sounding complex and deep but after hearing the tracks a few times you realize that they're actually very basic, shallow and have little to no emotion to them. There are a couple songs I genuinely do like, and consider good by Gorillaz standards, but even those don't come close to the originality, or overall inherent quality, of Demon Days (or their first album). As far as production goes Plastic Beach definitely has the most, however. Unfortunately production means very little when it comes to music. It's akin to graphics for video games. Just because you have flashy graphics doesn't mean you have a great game.
@@bill8856 Well said. I mean, I don't consider Plastic Beach their worst album but it is definitely *not* their best. Their last album, the one with that song with Jack Black in it (which is amazing by the way) was a terrible album overall. Demon Days was the best because it not only had lots of incredible songs but it had an entire mythological story to it which was really cool. With Plastic Beach I think Damon had one last idea he wanted to throw everything at and, while it wasn't terrible, it was just kind of all over the place. Like quantity came before quality. Again, there was quality there but it was mixed in with a handful of lesser tracks that didn't need to be there.
@@separator94 Both of you are actually insane. It's just about as critically acclaimed as Demon Days and made many top ten lists of that year and the decade. It's very arguable that it's their best album if not at least their second best. And since 2010 it has aged incredibly well.
A few things about Gorillaz. It’s a fictional band with four members (2D, Murdoc, Noodle, and russel) But in real life There is only two members of Gorillaz Damon Albarn is the singer on all the songs Jamie Hewlett is the artist who makes the album covers and drew and creative the virtual band. There is also deep lore hidden in the music videos and some of the lyrics. It’s obscure but there is a lot of videos explaining it in RUclips
Bruh u trippin stylo is literally the best one lmfao, and by popular opinion too. I guess it’s good that we know he’s being genuine, because nobody who is familiar with the general consensus around the album and gorillaz would ever dare say stylo is the worst track. So, good on u for staying true to urself but also ur wrong lmfao

Also his own solo albums!
Oh, to be able to hear Empire Ants for the first time again😭 Got second hand goosebumps just from seeing your reaction
Wish I could hear Empire Ants for the first time again. If I’m ever listening to it alone, I sometimes start to cry when Little Dragon comes in, something about it is so passionate and yearning
Empire Ants is my favorite Gorlliaz song, I just hits me with goosebumps every time I listen too it.
Empire Ants was where this album really got me... Was also my gateway to Little Dragon, who are fantastic in their own right. One of my favourite albums of all time.
The second part of Empire Ants always gives my whole body goosebumps. It's hands down one of my favorite songs from Gorillaz, if not from any artist.
Always love when I see a new Gorillaz reaction. You are going to love this band they are so unique and different from everything else.
great reaction! Stylo is Anthony fantanos favorite Gorillaz song and likely in most Gorillaz' fans top 10. But you do you haha
Empire ants is iconic though
Would love a reaction to demon days and song machine season 1

"i wasn't expecting Snoop on this album" well you should've. dude shows up in everything as long as there's a paycheck haha
Also I highly and I mean HIGHLY recommend reacting to the music videos for these songs. These aren’t just normal music videos they have lore and stories behind them and it’s very entertaining
The lead on empire ants is Yukimi Nagano from Little Dragon
Love seeing people react to this. This is my personal fav album of all time :P
Empire ants is also my fav song of all time haha
Nothing better than actually seeing someone react to this for the first time. Legit great vid. Keep it up!
Lead singer is Damon Albarn and 2-D is the cartoon that portrays his voice. Please listen to Demon Days, I love it. Also you should look into the lore because it’s so absurd and hilarious
The second song with Snoop Dog is the best for me... Saw them in concert too hahah

Gorillaz and Da La Soul are literally a power combo.
I don't think I've enjoyed a Gorillaz album on first listen but Plastic Beach, Demon Days, and Self-titled are some of my all time favorites now. They're all definitely growers.
Love On Melancholy Hill. Such a groove.
Demon Days next!
unless you watch the video you are missing half the song
Gorillaz is not a real band. It is the frontman of popular 90s band 'Blur', Damon Albarn, who writes the songs and sings most of them. They are a virtual band set up by Damon at the beginning of the 2000s as an experiment.
God I love On Melancholy Hill so much, like you said "literally perfect"
the vocalist is Damon and he does the whole music, I think sometime he gets help with production but i thin he does the most of the thing, he also was the singer of blur, you should listen to them

Idk, for me Plastic Beach is a better album, while Demon days is more a collection of great singles
Song machine stans rise up
A few things about Gorillaz.
It’s a fictional band with four members (2D, Murdoc, Noodle, and russel)
But in real life There is only two members of Gorillaz
Damon Albarn is the singer on all the songs
Jamie Hewlett is the artist who makes the album covers and drew and creative the virtual band.
There is also deep lore hidden in the music videos and some of the lyrics. It’s obscure but there is a lot of videos explaining it in RUclips

yeah I just listened to it again and there's just something missing. Like it's not bad I just find it a little boring haha
@@DAVECHER fair enough, it’s more of embracing the production and what is there than something big
I LOVE stylo
