Plastic Beach is the third studio album by British virtual band Gorillaz. It was released on 3 March 2010 by Parlophone internationally and by Virgin Records in the United States. Conceived from an unfinished project called Carousel, the album was recorded from June 2008 to November 2009, and was produced primarily by group co-creator Damon Albarn. It features guest appearances by such artists as Snoop Dogg, Gruff Rhys, De La Soul, Bobby Womack, Mos Def, Lou Reed, Mark E. Smith, Bashy, Kano and Little Dragon.
Plastic Beach received mostly positive reviews, and was later named one of the decade's best albums by several critics. In 2020, the album was ranked at 74 on the 100 Best Albums of the Century list by Stacker.[1] The album debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, selling approximately 74,432 copies in its first week. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with 112,000 copies sold in its first week; overall it reached the top 10 in 22 countries in total.
Empire Ants is seriously one of the best songs ever made
Easily
Always
YES
You're wrong.
It IS the best song ever made.
my favorite song of all time
ngl, i get high and just jam out to music with u and ur dad all the time
Literally what im doing rn
@@letsgobaby4757 human solidarity🤞🏼
group sesh with the boys
Haha that’s me right now…I went straight to Rhinestone eyes to see his reaction. Love these guys
Sameee
I remember reading that Bobby went so hard on his part in Stylo that he basically passed out and when he came to the first thing he saw was Damon offering him a banana.
RIP Bobby Womack
Damon tells him afterwards: you’re my hero man
Bobby: then dont kill your hero!
The Gorillaz name makes a lot more sense now
I’ve been a hardcore fan for a while and I never knew this but I’m so happy I do now that’s hilarious lmao
Yeah I heard that story too. They didn’t know Womack was diabetic.
I find it so funny that of all things, he's giving him a banana lol
This album is, in my opinion, the most complete, diverse, and incredible record I’ve ever heard. This is undeniable a 10/10.
For me it would be a 10/10 if you replace sweepstakes with do ya thing
@@oranjoe69 fr do ya thing is sooooo good
Yo 🔥ruclips.net/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/видео.html,
There is something about the last track of the record that keeps me from giving it a 10/10. Apart from that it is still a masterpiece
@@oranjoe69 wdym, sweepstakes is amazing
I genuinely believe the empire ants is one of the greatest songs ever made and my mind will not be changed about it
Agreed, it simply doesn’t get better. Empire Ants is peak music, the high that song gives me is unreal, even sober
I LOVE IT SOOO MCUH
no other song can invoke the feelings that this song can
since i've heard it years ago it's still my favorite, it feels otherwordly in such a unique way that it's perfect
dude i just discovered it on the way home from work today. HOLY FUCK!!! SO GOOD
@@catswork try "rip" by playboi carti on full blast while drunk driving
Idk if you guys know this, but... in the begining of "Glitter Freeze", after the "Where´s North from here?" The synth plays a Morse Code that spells out "Plastic Beach".
I just recently discovered this and it blew my mind it's fucking awesome.
Holy shit
Awesome ! Thx
whaaaa omg great fun fact thats awesome
I didn’t know that!! That’s awesome
Woww for my least favorite song on the album, that's pretty impressive and neat.
Pirate Jet feels so *spiteful* I love it.
It's like 2D is just squinting at you, as of he was saying "Look what we did. Are you happy?"
FACTS
11/10 album. Someone who sees the value and quality of Empire Ants is an instant friend of mine.
If you like that song listen to child of vision by supertramp, I find it very similar to it
Then we would be great friends, Empire Ants is my favorite song of all time. There’s something so magical about how this song makes you want to dance and cry at the same time from all the emotions
First time I heard Empire Ants was when Gorillaz was barely on my radar (despite obviously being popular) and I loved it on first listen
I'll give it a solid 1000/10
on melancholy hill is my favorite song of all time it brings so much emotion and is so warm and comforting
same
This and Empire Ants are masterpieces
its nostalgia overload for me, very warm but also so sad and melancholic
Melancholy Hill feels very nostalgic, but that's the weird part. The first time I listened to the song was a few months ago, yet it feels like I've known it ever since I was a kid. Like wtf?? Gorillaz knows some black magic and I'm here for it.
My girlfriend and I consider it 'our song'.
empire ants has been my favorite gorillaz song since I got into them in high school lol... So glad your dad digged it
Yea same. Top 5 all time song imo. True masterpiece
Yo 🔥ruclips.net/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/видео.html,
mine too!!!
8:05. I can confirm this to be true. I saw Gorillaz play a couple weeks back and when Rhinestone eyes played thousands of people sang the chorus and it was magical.
To this day that is still my best concert experience, being at the front of the crowd with everyone jumping up and down singing along to the Rhinestone Eyes chorus, truly AWESOME!
ITS THE ABSOLUTE BEST PART OF THE SHOW
Rhinestone Eyes has always been my favourite Gorillaz song, so seeing them play it live and hearing the crowd all sing the chorus was an unbelievable experience.
Dun dun duh duh dun da da da
Dun dun duh duh dun da da da
Duon dun duh duh dun da da da
Dun dun duh duh dun
(here we go again)
@@liambowbrick3917 was at all points easts festival watching them, no joke everyone was literally screaming this when it played! Best live experience ever
honestly, empire ants is more of an experience than a song. always makes me feel like I'm zooming through space at the end.
Yeah but not as much as Seattle Yodel
@@najlis1784 lmaooo
watching this album age into being more relevant with each passing year has been bittersweet
Yes
doesn't help that there's a litteral island of trash in the pacific, which remided me of plastic beach
@@smeqwack7337 true, but the album was made to promote action against climate change
@@smeqwack7337 You mean the UK? Nah man, that's been there for a while
Nah I think they mean the Pacific Garbage Patch in the gyre. It’s incredibly huge (the size of Texas) and it’s just a bunch of trash floating about
the transition from Superfast Jellyfish to Empire Ants is so damn slick
for me, To Binge is the most underrated song on this album, it just gives me this melancholic but chill vibe that I can't describe and Yukimi Naganos voice is just perfect
Murdoc described it best in his NME Plastic Beach guide: "A Hawaiian version of melancholy, yeah? You don’t see a lot of miserable Hawaiians, do you? It’s not known for its grim outlook on life."
It’s my favorite Gorillaz song for sure. Perfect duet with fantastic lyrics and meaning behind them. Give me chills every time.
i adore this song as well
To binge got me into listening to little dragon. I love her voice
My all time favorite song
Rhinestone Eyes is such a devastating yet groovy song. The synth chorus makes you wanna get up and dance but the lyrics are so melancholic and confronting.
I know a lot of people consider Demon Days to be Gorillaz' peak but for me it's easily Plastic Beach. All the features on this album are insane: Snoop Dogg, Mos Def, Little Dragon, Lou Reed, etc. "Empire Ants" is one of my favorite songs of all time
Agreed. It might just be which album came out when you were most impressionable. I was 18 when this came out and is the gold standard for albums to me.
Demon days will always be their prime. So many better features especially MF DOOM
its more fun but demon days was definitively the best album of that decade
I’m very split on demon days vs plastic beach they’re both so good
I really don't see what's so special about it. 'But, maybe that's because I've been listening to electronic music since the mid 90s and have been listening to allot more "detailed" tracks with lots of elements in them. Gorillaz' music still sounds like it was made in the late 90s, but maybe that's what they are going for, with analogue synth sound
You have to keep the 2010 Alternative Dance energy going and do This is Happening by LCD Soundsysten. 2010 was really an incredible year for music.
Also Sound of Silver while ur at it lol another amazing album
I just know his dad would LOVE LCD Soundsystem.
Age of Adz as well
YESSSS PLEASEEE
My absolute favourite album ever
14:13 and that ladies and gents is when Dad first heard Little Dragon... ahhhh I wish I could go back and hear her angelic vocals match a synth for the first time!! 'Ritual Union' so damn good, and their 'New Me, Same Us' 2020 album is a BANGER project
Every album of little dragon has at least 2 or 3 incredible songs. Definitely worth digging into. The last 3 songs on machine dreams are some of my favorite
I wanna start getting into Little Dragon, where should I start?
Blinking pigs, come home, fortune, ritual union, crystalfim, twice, no love, constant surprises, place to belong, scribble paper, klapp klapp, and a lot of the new album are songs that stood out to me at a look through.
Enjoy
Oh and cat rider
Was SBTRKT for me.
I probably haven’t listened to Empire Ants since I used to play Gorillaz 24/7 back in 2015, but man when it started all those emotions just came flooding back, I could feel the tears forming and the moment Little Dragon’s vocals start, the floodgates were opened
Same man, the vocals give me insane feels. Something about it, it sounds desperate and haunting in a way
Same! I saw them live during the Plastic Beach tour and at the climax Damon Albarn just spun around and around, it was amazing
Great album although would be better with the inclusion of "Fire coming out of the monkeys ass"
my favorite song
I loved the NAV and Tones and I features!
@@zacharywoloszynski4258 wait, where do they feature?
It was a joke, he said a fake song so I included some fake features
@@suorfrio7321 Stylo
I was Tripping on LSD and I remember listening to Empire ants and that song Just transcended me while holding me in our reality. I don't know how to explain it, but that song makes me so nostalgic. I love it.
As snoop once said “welcome to the world of the plastic beach”
Iconic song and album
I have to say, Plastic Beach is the best album Gorillaz have ever made.
It's the best album anyone's ever made
@@jensmartin3266 lets not go crazy, its in the top 100 albums of all time
There's this thing called opinions...
@@jensmartin3266 and its crazy that you managed to say a wrong one
Demon Days is better
this channel is the closest thing to a time machine. reliving the memories of when we first heard these classic albums. times were good in 2010.
Your dad is so fucking smart 😭 there are videos from people in the crowd of just everyone singing the synth chorus to Rhinestone Eyes LMAO The whole crowd just “DUHDUH DUH DUH DUH-“,,, I do have to say, the way your dad is able to guess the stories or the intentions (or whatever I’m trying to say💀) of whatever you’re showing him, about every single time I watch these videos, is incredible. He breaks it all down to a T practically
"When you hear snoop, it's a comfort thing" couldn't agree any fucking more, having him on this album was such a great idea and I love that they did it. Much love for yalls reaction this album holds a special place in my heart
21:24 this moment accually got me tearing up, what a album and what a video man. Thank you for this channel Kevin and Connor
same here!
i watched them live and i legit cried in this song. best concert of my life.
Today is 13th anniversary of Plastic Beach. I feel so incredibly dumb for not appreciating this album sooner than I did. I was more so a Demon Days fan obsessed with Feel Good Inc, and Clint Eastwood fan. But now after listening through Gorillaz’s discography, this might actually be No.1 for me now. I’m really impressed with Damon Albarns work on this. From Superfast Jellyfish to Empire Ants, and to On melancholy hill. Sweepstakes is underrated. Empire Ants makes me wanna tear up ๐·°(৹˃̵﹏˂̵৹)°·๐
No.1 Plastic Beach
No. 2 Demon Days
No. 3 The Now Now
The now now hella underrated
@@0screenager0lil too lo fi for me, I really like song machine tho, I feel like if i went back and listened to Humanz I might appreciate it more
There weren’t too many albums that I would just listen to like every song on repeat when I was younger like this one. Broken, On Melancholy Hill, Empire Ants, Superfast Jellyfish, To Binge, Rhinestone Eyes and White Flag I would play in middle school just over and over and over
on melancholy hill is the first gorillaz track i’ve ever discovered. for me, it is by far the most nostalgic song. i always get chills listening to it since it brings me back to my childhood, watching the music video and listening to it on mtv music when i was 8.
God such a good music video that was too.
The relationship you two have as a father and son when it comes to sitting down, talking about and enjoying music, really warms my heart. It's exactly what I hope to have with my future kids as well. Music is such a huge part of my life, having spent my whole life listening to and playing it, and large parts of my life studying it.. and I just want my kids to get to share in that joy, that wonder, those beautiful moments and emotions you can't really put into words.
glad your dad adores empire ants as it is my favorite song of not only the album but in gorillaz discogs ever.
Gorillaz has such a magical way with their collaborations. The artists they bring in fit so perfectly every single time. In their entire discography that spans more than twenty years, I can't remember the last time a collaboration with Gorillaz didn't work. Such a phenomenal band, wow.
Yo 🔥ruclips.net/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/видео.html,
They made CHAI and Jpegmania work together,how is that possible??
@@sofaking5733 that's the neat part, i have no clue
@@meagan4605 when you work with Gorillaz, you just leave all your borders at home.
I’m so intrigued to see how their colab with bad bunny is gonna be
i love how he recognizes all the synths and that it takes him back to that time. For me synths are my favorite, and to hear him name Daft Punk and Depeche Mode brings me joy because they are apart of my top 10 bands list (obviously including Gorillaz too). But glad to hear he's having fun with a little familiarity and new vibes... You should definitely show him Daft Punk's Discovery album next!
Definitely my favorite Gorillaz album - such a unique/plastic sound that perfectly compliments the themes of the project. The visuals are outstanding too
This album had multiple songs on it where I (a 19 year old raised on country music up until demon days) would find myself saying “wait, music can be like THAT??”
This album RIPS.
Demon Days is AMAZING
On Melancholy Hill is my all time favorite song for all the reason's you mention. It came out during a time in my life where I was just kinda taking a beating emotionally. But when I heard it I couldn't help but feel warm inside despite how sad I was. When I hear it now I remember those times but it somehow makes me feel happy and hopeful for the future.
Agreed, Around this time last year I was in the same situation you were in. Such a warm and beautiful song…
i saw gorillaz live back in august. out of all the setlist rhinestone eyes , on melancholy hill and empire ants got the best crowd response. crowd was pretty lit the whole show tho. one of the best concert experiences i’ve ever had.
Sweepstakes is such an underrated track
dude this is so moving (empire ants)
like your dad said, i also had tears in my eyes when the vocals hit in the second part.
and i also got tears when i heard and felt your dad describing it.
i feel truly understood and touched. wonderful work to share this. big ups
If I need to feel the shivers or some have emotional awakening .. Empire Ants comes on now :)
2 albums you guys would love
Blur - 13
Portishead- 3rd
Two classics I know you will enjoy.
Dummy first tho
@@maxmahan3291 one of my fav albums of all time
@@sparface2018 Dummy is in my opinion the best produced album of all time. Not my favorite though, but close
Gorillaz is a band I will NEVER get sick of, and I love seeing videos like this and the one you guys did with Demon Days. It's comforting finding out other people enjoy them as much as I do!!
Empire Ants is just one of those songs that makes me transcend this earth. One of the most amazing tracks I've ever heard!
Empire Ants is peak music. There’s something so magical about the way that it makes me feel and I can’t quite describe it. This song should be in the history books, it’s just so euphoric
Albarn’s opus and a conceptual masterwork. The subject matter, the crafting of the world, the production. Superfast into Empire is a stroke of absolute genius. The hopelessness of the subject matter, while you’re caressed by the beauty of the sound invokes the exact feeling it’s aiming to produce via the words and turns it into a feeling. Unapologetically pulls you into acknowledging the reality of the world.
Album is incredibly cinematic too, so easy to picture the Gorillaz washing up on plastic beach, defeated and withdrawn. Making use of the technology of the island to create songs to express those feelings. Rhinestone, Superfast, Empire, Melancholy Hill, Nature, Sweepstakes. The conceptual through-line of this album is almost unparalleled.
Love this comment ❤️
I can't really put my finger on it, but To Binge really just tickles my brain in all the right places, It definitely my favorite on this album
I commented on another video how I couldn't wait for your father to react to Empire Ants and I wasn't let down. His reaction is the same exact to my own when I first heard it. Such an amazing track.
This album is so great, Empire Ants is def my #1 gorillaz song. Great video!
Man this album just IMPRESSES they really went for a 10/10 with this one. Empire Antz just makes me ascend.
Also your dad smiling at every amazing synth made me so happy
Love this album so much. Also, Lou passed in 2013 and Bobby died in 2014 💐
sweepstakes is a grower. on my first initial listens back when it hit i had a similar impression but now i absolutely love it. loved hearing your dad's nostalgia and overall impressions!
You're right. I adore Sweepstakes so much
Has your dad heard Julian Casablanca's band The Voidz? I think he'd love them. I request their album "Virtue", very synth heavy.
I love that your dad is a fellow Glitter Freeze appreciator. That track gets a lot of stupid, unnecessary hate imho.
Empire Ants and Broken are top Gorillaz song that along with all of the whole album, makes Plastic Beach, one of their best works to date. Soo iconic.
mb for all the haters out there but sweepstakes is the most underated song in this album. it perfectly shows how music cant be complete without all the parts. the beginning is weird and uncomfortable but the more the add the more the track becomes enjoyable until its a fkg bop
Totally. Took me a long time to warm up to it,it is fire. By the end Im so charged I feel like I can sprint through a wall. It’s a mess if im on a run or something and this is on.
I only listened to this fantastic album 2-3 days ago it has definitely got me excited to other other albums, demon days, etc i cant stop listening to rhinestone eyes btw
i’ve always thought rhinestone eyes was one of the weaker tracks
@@smuglef and?
check out the Journey to the West soundtrack as well. It's not considered a Gorillaz album, but Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett both worked on it between demon days and plastic beach. Wouldn't want a newer Gorillaz fan to miss out on that gem ;)
@@alex6996 And what loser that's his own opinion 💀
@@smuglef complete opposite for me lol. It's my favorite song on Plastic Beach and my favorite song from Gorillaz' entire discography, although there's a lot of perfect tracks to rank
I love watching your dads reacting positively and enthusiastically to songs and albums that I love myself....and that’s why I keep coming back to watch your guys’ videos. I wish my dad was into the same music I was into. You’re very lucky
Seeing rhinestone eyes live is probably one of my favourite live performances i've ever experienced
Saw Gorillaz back at Coachella in 2010 right after this album came out! It was amazing live - one of my favorite concert going experiences!
I was so pleased when they played Empire Ants at their concert i went to, that was such a special moment for me. It’s a shame there wasn’t nearly as many people singing along, very underrated!
This album got me into electronic-type music. before this I literally just listened to the beatles, I listened to deamon days, then this, and it was a fucking magical experience
the flute in white flag is beautiful
Damon Albarn is unmatched in terms of his musical broadness I love that man
PLEASE do more of their albums.
God, I love Gorillaz so much. I was at their London gig and managed to get right at the front, and during Tranz, Damon climbed onto the railing right in front of me and kept holding my hand during the song.
I highly recommend checking out the live version of broken from the plastic beach tour, the brass adds an entire layer to the song and moves me to tears every time. I wish they had included it in the actual song!
One of the most emotional and beautiful albums I’ve ever heard. It still makes me cry
WE NEED ARCTIC MONKEYS DEBUT ALBUM - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Glitter Freeze is Criminally Underrated.
I agree, so many tracks on this that are sooo good and get overlooked
For anyone wondering if the Patreon is worth it, this video uncut is 2.5 hours. It's really awesome to listen to the songs in full and hear more random discussion between these two.
I'm a Demon Days guy, but I never turn my back when someone says Plastic Beach is the best. I love this album and I raised among this as well.
Man, what an incredible album! I sure hope the bassist didn't drug and kidnap the singer onto a random island and replace the guitarist with a cyborg to make such an awesome album!
sure would be a shame…
Thank god they don't exist lmao, murdoc would be cancelled fo sho
I hope the bassist didn't replace the drummer with a synthesizer!
Your dad is a national treasure
One of the first albums that I got to sit and listen to it. When it came out I didn’t spoke a word of English so I got to understand the words not until I moved to Canada. It brings so many good memories and of course, it’s a great album!
Hello from Canada :)
Empire Ants and To Binge are some of my favourite tracks ever. You know you made an incredible record when On Melancholy Hill is the 3rd best track
Talking about that synthesizer and 80's feeling, I think Kevin will like MGMT's Little Dark Age.
Plastic beach was a head of its time. I remember when it came out the mixed reviews comparing it to demon days but that’s what great music does cause controversy now over 12 years later plastic beach is considered a classic
Been waiting for this one! One of my fav albums of all time
The beginning half of Empire Ants is that feeling where you realized that your wasting your childhood, teenage, twenties, and you need to try something to get up and off your bed. Then the end half is how you opened your eyes to the world that you see. You can make friends, go on some adventures, get a partner, and you can end those years with a remake classic scene from the perks of being an wallflower.
Excited for this one. My personal favorite Gorillaz album!
I do really hope we see the rest of Gorillaz's discography on the channel! Keep it up 👍
Your guys casual dissection of music through reactions are by far the ones I can relate to most and I freaking love it, keep up the good work!
I suppose you guys get stuff suggested on a regular base, but here's me hoping you'll do Alt J in the future. Love the content, keep it up!
This is my favorite Gorillaz album, thank you for this
Ever since you guys covered Demon Days, I've been anticipating to see this one. Revisited Plastic Beach at the start of the summer, hit me in a totally different way to when it did years ago. Seriously, going from White Flag to Empire Ants alone is one of the best tracklists of all time.
So glad you did this love some of the underrated songs on this are seriously so good
So jealous and equally happy for you that you get to do this with your dad. The thing he said about wishing he could give that warm feeling in his heart to you really hit me.
My family has always said I got my extreme interest in music from my dad, but because he died when I was very young we never got to share much music together and I always think about him when I listen to really great music.
I love seeing you two vibing together and I can only imagine it would feel similar with my dad.
I've been hoping to see this album on the channel for a while now! One of my favorite albums of all time, and only gets better and more relevant with age
empire ants and some kinda of nature some songs of all time.
Also the bass on these songs are so good, empire ants one of my favorite songs to play on bass.
Just became a gorilla fan so it’s crazy to hop on youtube and see yall uploading your Plastic Beach reaction. Dope reaction and dope album
another banger video!! i love plastic beach so glad you guys reacted to it
I remember your dad really enjoying the second half of DNA and how kendrick was flowing, I feel like you gotta introduce him to JID soon
the forever story reaction would be lit
The Forever Story AOTY
@@eggrolledison5687 yeah but I say start with DiCaprio
Empire ants came to me on a vacation to Disneyland when I was a freshman I was legitimately in shock that such a soothing song could have such deep lyrics while also having me dancing and relaxing truly one of the most unique songs I've ever heard
Just seeing this video was uploaded made my day, and I haven't even watched it yet. This is also one of my favorite albums of all time, and certainly my favorite Gorillaz album. Thank you two for being awesome as usual!
One of my fav albums ever. Happy y’all reacting to it.
only recently listened to this masterpiece . best gorillaz experience album imo !!
keep it up 👍
Nah,demon days is better
@@coxbro1015 just imo !!
@@coxbro1015 Nah he’s allowed to have his own taste. Deal with it
I'm with you. I love Demon Days, but Plastic Beach gives me more emotions in many tracks.
I remember hearing this record when I was 16. I fell in love with Little Dragon (Yukimi) as soon as I heard her voice. I dove into Machine Dreams and Ritual Union and... wow. What a group.
It made me so happy to see your dads reaction to empire ants. It was the same way I reacted when first heard it ! Love your guys content !!
I was so excited to see you guys do this album
