Is it just Gorillaz or can I say The Gorillaz? It would be a lot better to start with ‘The Gorillaz have a new album coming out and it is called Plastic Beach. I only worry because I once referred to Arctic Monkeys as The Arctic Monkeys and out of nowhere 22 demented indie kids used admittedly very effective teamwork and co-ordination to pin me down and brand ‘There is no ‘The’ in Arctic Monkeys’ across my bare chest with one of those red hot cattle irons.
The album, in its entirety, is available on The Guardian’s site. ‘So click on the widget [above] to stream the album from start to finish (and remember not to refresh the page as it plays!)’. I’m so glad they added the anti-refreshing reminder in there because I often find myself listening to a track online and then thinking ‘man, you know what, I’m going to express my positive feelings towards this piece of music by clicking refresh’. It’s just so confusing because the word ‘fresh’ is in there.
From start to finish is how an album should be played. There’s a whole load of guest appearances on Plastic Beach, details of exactly who are alongside the track listing, as per usual. Personally, I think you should just follow the link and quickly click PLAY without reading anything about tracks or ‘ft.s’ and then play the guessing game.
