1001 Albums Summary

Gives feelings of 2000s teen nostalgia that I’ve never felt, mixed with futuristic vibes. Unique sampling. I like the use of guitar. Favourite songs so far are Clint Eastwood, Punk and Sound Check. After completing my first listen, i enjoyed how unique the album was as a whole, I couldn’t pin point the genre - showing me the many artistic avenues Gorillaz has in store for me. A negative is that I would have personally liked more lyrics as I felt the best songs contained the most lyrics that allowed other parts like beat and instruments to shine, forming a greater track. - 7.5/10 - Will be listening to more of their music but unlikely to revisit this one as a whole album.

I enjoy the youthful braggadocious nature of the lyrics. Very clear a young rebellious album against authority. A raw album that gives off the idea of low (but not necessarily bad) production. it gives the feeling of experimental youthful boys expressing what they love, that being beers and girls, in whatever way they know.
