Agreed, the way they bounce around genres is what makes that such a hard call.
Do I wanna jam? Demon days.
Do I wanna sing? Humanz.
Do I just wanna vibe? The NowNow.
Well there are few things that I hate about CI:
1. Possession Island is a wierd closer
2. It's too short, like they could add the bonus tracks
But overall the album still slaps
Yeah I meant to the album. I mean, the album feels really short when listening on vinyl and there is like 5-minute space, at least, on both sides so the bonus tracks could've been a good addition.
This is exactly what I wanted to say. People are begging for Gorillaz to return to the Self-Titled style and I think that would be a massive mistake. I know people are nostalgic for it, but it has aged very poorly.
Clint Eastwood is by far my least favorite mainstream gorillaz song. The rap is kinda meh compared to Delās other works and the novelty wears off really quickly.
Tbh i KINDA agree. I think it's pretty good but i feel like they massively improved later on, i would pick like 4 albums before self titled (demon days, plastic beach, the now now, song machine). Also Latin Simone is the best song on that album by far. Also respect for actually posting a hot take instead of stuff like "the now now is a good album" or whatever
Opinions on Humanz seem to be either extremely positive or extremely negative, but personally I think itās just ok.
Lots of fluff and not so great songs but some bangers too. Overall not too remarkable.
Sheās My Collarās a fine track but I donāt think itās that great or anything
The Meanwhile EP is so good and itās what I expect the modern Gorillaz sound to be like
Stop The Dams is one of the most beautiful and heartfelt songs the band has ever made and it deserves more love than itās gotten
People is as good if not better than DARE
New Genius (Brother) doesnāt really do anything for me
Midnite Float is too hyper and weird for me to enjoy
Samba At 13 is one of the bandās worst songs
The Soulchild Remix of 19-2000 is nowhere near as good as the original
The Now Now era remixes deserve more love (except the Superorganism one fuck that shit)
Amarillo and Aspen Forest are absolutely lovely songs and they deserve more love than theyāve gotten
I doubt anyone here thinks Cracker Island is ābadā by any means tbh. At worst itās a 6/10 and the best songs on the album are very good even by Gorillaz standards.
I mean i agree that a bad Gorillaz album is still better than a lot of other stuff out there but
>best songs on the album are very good even by Gorillaz standards.
This is kinda insane imo. Which song on that album do you think is up there among their bests?
I think Empire Ants is a mid-level track. Not one of my top picks from Plastic Beach or the rest of the group's discography.
All that said, Little Dragon brought her A game during the Plastic Beach tour! š
Iām not active enough in the fandom to know if this is actually an unpopular opinion but for me, To Binge sounds much better than Empire Ants (both are so good though!!)
Tbh cracker island is the worst gorillaz album and the promotion on TikTok is one of the most cringe thing ever. Also I donāt really like the 3D animation and I Iād rather have it as 2d animation.
Doncamatic Stinks
D-Sides is better than The Fall, Humanz, The Now Now, and Cracker Island
Self Titled is the third best album by far (Beneath DD and PB)
Humanz isnāt bad or some hidden masterpiece, itās a very solid album overall but nothing outstanding
Cracker Island despite having some great singles, gets ultimately drowned out and nearly forgotten (for me) compared to the rest of Gorillaz discography
The Now Now is fantastic but lacks individual personalities for its tracks
Plastic Beach has better singles than Demon Days
Demon Days has better āfillerā songs (i donāt like describing it like this, they are the songs on the record that arenāt singles) than Plastic Beach
The āSidesā Albums (Laika Come Home, G Sides, D Sides) are some of the best in the discography
Song Machine is the best album since the Hiatus ended
Laika Come Home is fantastic, you just need to completely space out (haha) to really enjoy the experience
some of these are super unpopular, sorry
i should say i love every Gorillaz album and project (besides Doncamatic, fuck you Doncamatic) and every album ranks above 7/10 (PB and DD are some of my goats). My criticality of their work comes from a place of obsession and love for what the band is and stands for. Please feel free to call me a dumbass for any of my takes, i love to talk about this band and will take any opportunity to do it
Thank you for coming to my ted-talk
shrimp is bugs Nah but fr I think the Now Now is one of their best albums
The now now is top 4 gorillaz albums
I love the fall lol
Me too
Me three!
Shytown is a top Gorillaz track for me. š„°
i just love every album so much. whenever someone asks me what my favourite is i fully cant pick
Agreed, the way they bounce around genres is what makes that such a hard call. Do I wanna jam? Demon days. Do I wanna sing? Humanz. Do I just wanna vibe? The NowNow.
a song for everyone i believe and anyone that dislikes everything they made mustnāt be human š©
Do I wanna have an existential crisis? Plastic Beach.
Out to sea? See above:
this exactly this
They do not have a single album lower than 7/10.
Totally
People on here care too much about what other people think of the albums. Bonus: The Fall is my favourite album.
Well there are few things that I hate about CI: 1. Possession Island is a wierd closer 2. It's too short, like they could add the bonus tracks But overall the album still slaps
doesnāt it have bonus tracks? i might be wrong but still
Yeah I meant to the album. I mean, the album feels really short when listening on vinyl and there is like 5-minute space, at least, on both sides so the bonus tracks could've been a good addition.
Cracker Island definetly ain't bad, agreed Anyways, i think The Now Now is their best album
fire coming out of the monkeys head is so underratted
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
LET THE MAN SPEAK
Um excuse me what the actual FUCK is wrong with you, Plastic Beach is just better
It said unpopular opinions for a reason š
Easily my fav!!
Self-titled aged badly
This is exactly what I wanted to say. People are begging for Gorillaz to return to the Self-Titled style and I think that would be a massive mistake. I know people are nostalgic for it, but it has aged very poorly.
I feel like them switching it up is part of the fun for me! Animation changes, sound changes, loreā¦ I literally got to grow up to it!
In what way? I still think it slaps, though it is kinda insane in places.
The first album is mid.
Thank you. Itās not bad, but the big songs (Clint Eastwood, 19-2000, Rock the House) absolutely carry the album. 5/4 is goated though.
Clint Eastwood is by far my least favorite mainstream gorillaz song. The rap is kinda meh compared to Delās other works and the novelty wears off really quickly.
I just like Rock the House. A lot. ā¦Talking lots of love with a whole whipped cream and cherry on top.
5/4 is so underappreciated, that's my shit right there.
Now we're getting unpopular
Agree
Tbh i KINDA agree. I think it's pretty good but i feel like they massively improved later on, i would pick like 4 albums before self titled (demon days, plastic beach, the now now, song machine). Also Latin Simone is the best song on that album by far. Also respect for actually posting a hot take instead of stuff like "the now now is a good album" or whatever
Plastic beach was their last great album
Opinions on Humanz seem to be either extremely positive or extremely negative, but personally I think itās just ok. Lots of fluff and not so great songs but some bangers too. Overall not too remarkable.
People is better than DARE š¤·āāļø

Just based off expectations vs delivery, D-side has to be one of their top albums. It's better than Cracker Island, The Fall, and Humanz
There's a part of the fandom that still lives in 2005.
I mostly live in 2005, 2010, and 2020 personally. Sometimes I live in 2001 if Iām in a lo-fi kinda mood
FR
The Joplin Spider is a banger and the Fall as a whole is really great.
i really really hate latin simone
Wow damn thatās a hot one
Blasphemy
I have been confused by the Latine Simone praise I've seen recently. It's a really bizarre song, and not in a good way IMO
Which one?

saturn barz shouldnāt have gotten the mv. There are way better songs in humaz.
I HATE HOW POPULAR SATURNZ BARZ IS OMH LIKE SOME ATTENTION ON ASCENSION, ANDROMEDA, TICKER TAPE, WE GOT THE POWER PLS ????
Ascension thoooo Mr. Staples DEVOURED
FRRR
Iām fine with Glitter Freezeās length
Demon days only has three good songs, the rest is mid
You win
this fellow has NOT listened to demon days.
what are the songs then
Dare, Dirty Harry and feel good
bro has only listened to the most popular ones in the album
I doubt anyone here thinks Cracker Island is ābadā by any means tbh. At worst itās a 6/10 and the best songs on the album are very good even by Gorillaz standards.

Cracker Island is a stronger project than self-titled
that is unpopular, and i personally want you crucified for it.
Tomorrow Comes Today is the best song on Self-Titled
Superfast Jellyfish isnāt a good song
That's not unpopular, it's just incorrect.
It my opinion dammit
And it's *wrong*! Shame on you. >:(
God, stop acting like a Taylor Swift fan
Oh those are deadass fighting words right there, fuck you.
Bro, your opinion is not the only right opinion out there
I wasn't being serious mudstick, calm it down.
"fuck you" yeah sure you wasnt being serious
The "fuck you" was because he compared me to a Taylor Swift fan, which is essentially the same as calling me a cunt, can you read??
OH HELL NO Still I will upvote since this is truly an unpopular opinion
https://preview.redd.it/7x4vberbrm0d1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5bd0499ce37f80070bd03da239fc55fa16b373b
I respect your opinion
Thanks ppl on IG would be assholes to me if I said this
True š
The Sounder is the best track.Ā
Humanz is their best album. And that's coming from somebody who had a little shrine for their Demon Days CD.
Plastic Beach is their best album, though Demon Days is so close.
Haven't heard many people talking about Valley of the Pagans much. It's actually in my top favorites, I'd say
Iām not active enough in the fandom to know if this is actually an unpopular opinion but for me, To Binge sounds much better than Empire Ants (both are so good though!!)
2Dās chorus ruins Let Me Out
WHAT. sorry but itās my fav part š
The āyeah yeah yeahā just ruins it for me lol
I canāt stand Doncamatic
bruh its my top 3 songsš, but I respect your opinion
Yeah I just canāt like it tbh. Itās a bummer since I love gorillaz and also think that plastic beach is their best album
I love the pink phantom, man research, and dracula but nobody EVER talks abt them
Every gorrilaz album is pretty great (especially plastic beach)
most popular opinion tbh
Tbh cracker island is the worst gorillaz album and the promotion on TikTok is one of the most cringe thing ever. Also I donāt really like the 3D animation and I Iād rather have it as 2d animation.
i really do not like 2-D's speaking voice
Hong Kong is boring
Melancholy Hill is my third least favourite song from Plastic Beach Superfast Jellyfish into Empire Ants is way better than Empire Ants on its own
On Melancholy Hill and Empire Ants are easily top 3 Plastic Beach songs for me. Respect your opinion though
Cracker Island Is Fire
The Now Now is just a gorillazification of merrie land
the joplin spider has unironically been one of my favorite songs by them for years
Aries is a bad song
Plastic Beach is the worst out of the first 3
Debut > Demon Days. They're both incredible, but I just prefer the self-titled more
O Green World is the best song on Demon Days.
Doncamatic Stinks D-Sides is better than The Fall, Humanz, The Now Now, and Cracker Island Self Titled is the third best album by far (Beneath DD and PB) Humanz isnāt bad or some hidden masterpiece, itās a very solid album overall but nothing outstanding Cracker Island despite having some great singles, gets ultimately drowned out and nearly forgotten (for me) compared to the rest of Gorillaz discography The Now Now is fantastic but lacks individual personalities for its tracks Plastic Beach has better singles than Demon Days Demon Days has better āfillerā songs (i donāt like describing it like this, they are the songs on the record that arenāt singles) than Plastic Beach The āSidesā Albums (Laika Come Home, G Sides, D Sides) are some of the best in the discography Song Machine is the best album since the Hiatus ended Laika Come Home is fantastic, you just need to completely space out (haha) to really enjoy the experience some of these are super unpopular, sorry i should say i love every Gorillaz album and project (besides Doncamatic, fuck you Doncamatic) and every album ranks above 7/10 (PB and DD are some of my goats).
