      Someone pointed out once and i feel its been pretty consistent that if Fantano isn't happy about something he brings up Damon Albarn but if its something he likes he says 2-D instead. Not sure HOW consistent that goes but it did seem somewhat accurate with how he reviewed the Song Machine Singles as they came out.

      He canonically isn’t really the face, in like, the band sense. 2-D is (because Murdoc isn’t pretty enough to be the face and I thiiink he can’t sing?). Murdoc is the “leader” of the band and also and also arrogant so it makes sense that he is always the one that does these types of promotion. However I would say that Murdoc’s role in Gorillaz as a story rather than a band is more of the protagonist.

    I have to say, the animation in Murdoc's model is really good.

    Can't believe that Fantano is presenting the debut of 3D Vtuber avatar for Murdoc. How brave

    Honestly as funny as this is I really gotta say that Murdoc’s model is like, really good, you can see the little shifts of expression and he has that cartoonish showing of emotion that the fully animated character normally has. He feels present.

    This feels like something that you would see right before the doors open to the ride at a theme park.

    Loved the Interview!
    So interesting to hear some comments from the inside of Gorillaz.
    The only flaw about the interview is when "Anthony" (So funny!) asks what is different about Cracker Island from other Gorillaz albums. In my opinion, this is an album of band consolidation through the years. Nothing new, but a perfect album to listen to very easily and chill.
    Strong 4 out of 5.
