what did you guys think of the silent running mv???
@shinobii1832 Жыл бұрын
I honestly really liked it. I liked the Cracker Island music video but I definitely prefer the Silent Running music video and it gave some context to CI but I still don't know why Russell is so zonked or why Noodle is ok with Murdoc running a cult. What did you think of it?

I think the one pro of the Now Now cover is that its at least recognizable. When I hear a song from the Now Now, I always think of the cover. When I hear a song from Song Machine, I just think of that one image where Russel’s playing the trumpet and Noodle has that tiger suit.

I think 2D playing the guitar was even better fitting for the Now Now album since it was all about him kinda taking on this new persona and role since Murdoc was in prison. It makes sense he’s playing an instrument he’s not used to since he’s playing a role he’s not used to.
@Muaddoobus Жыл бұрын
So basically, murdoc made him stick to vocals and keys in the previous phases. With murdoc In jail, 2D can play even more instruments and express his talent to the full limit.

You don't have to be good at playing a guitar to enjoy strumming on one. It's probably not something he would do publicly but the image of him playing one, spaced out, eyes closed, suggests an intimate setting, like he's just playing for himself. And the wildly skewed drawing shows he's grooving on it. I really like this album and cover, I feel like they fit together.

I can understand your dislike for Noodles design in phase 1 and the reason you dislike Noodles head for Song Machine is for the same reason, but for her SM head I never viewed it as that and saw it as her closing and scrunching her eyes because she's smiling, especially with how the lines for her closed eyes are curved, it just communicates that more to me. Brilliant video though, keep it up!

This is the first video of yours that I've watched and I've had to pause at 14:42 because the DHMIS soundbyte tipped me over the scale of needing to praise you: Firstly, I love that I'm understanding all the references in the "Number x" cards, and especially the DHMIS one obviously as said above. Secondly, I'm very happy that you are a The Fall enjoyer. I adore The Fall despite it's quirks and it made me happy to see you defending its honour (I'm gonna just to your album ranking video after this so I can hear more of your thoughts on it there). Thirdly, I love that you made the comparison to The Now Now being a sequel to The Fall because that was my instant first impression when the album came out in 2018. Fourthly, I just wanted to say that you put my thoughts about Plastic Beach into words in a way I've never quite been able to before. Calling the location a character in itself and the main character of Phase 3 is such a good way to think of it and I'm shocked I never have before as it's my favourite album and phase. I think that's it for now, but I'm loving your vibe and agreeing with so many of your takes so I'm feeling safe to assume I won't regret subscribing and checking out your other Gorillaz videos.

Isn't it kind of backwards tho cuz it seems like the complaint was that (sorry) she didn't look white enough? I don't want to be inflammatory but it just seems weird to me. I don't get why exaggerated cartoon drawings of specific features are necessarily seen as negative representations. People look different, and to me there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that.

I am going to defend the The Now Now cover. I think it's alright. Nothing more than that. I do agree stylistically is off, but it works in other ways. First of all, 2D is supposed to be somewhat of a stand in for Damon, at least in theory. That specific album being a 2D heavy project was also because it was actually also a heavy Damon project. Or to me it feels that way. Most of it, again for me, reads like Damon Albarn expressing themes and topics close to his point of view. I can't help but think that it kind of reminds me of Everyday Robots' cover, but translated into a trippy Gorillaz style. Now phase wise, my interpretation is 2D being on the very very front but being disoriented about this position, especially with the absence of Murdoc at play. Him being a distorted image, with an "unfamiliar" instrument seems to make sense about how, despite him seeming confident and on charge, there are still things he has to figure out.

I actually kinda like the Cracker Island cover art tbh. It's not my favorite, but there's something very like, 60s/70s about it that I think really fits with the themes and sounds of the album lmao. It gives strong Beatles/Beach Boys vibes to me. Also mildly hot take, The Now Now's album art is probably my favorite out of every Gorillaz album tbh. I'm partially biased because I just love minimalist cover pieces, but the distortion of 2D's portrait really pulls the whole thing together and ties into the album's themes of losing touch with one's identity so immaculately, I love it. I also really love the Y2K vibes of G-Sides' cover, but that's just me.

I don't really disagree with any of your ranking except for the fall. One of the main reasons I didn't like the album is because I really didn't like the cover. Despite thinking the Now Now's cover being lack luster I genuinely believe it's the best album overall. Demon Dayz and Plastic Beach are fantastic, but just based on how I can listen to the entire album through endlessly without skipping a single track makes it so good for me. I wish I liked more of what's on Song Machine because Aries is so good I just want to like the album more.

Maaan I just don’t get why so many ppl hate Cracker Island’s cover art. It’s one of my favourites, from the pinkish-purple colour tones to the composition, I think it fits the vibe so well. Especially w/ my translucent purple variant. Plus the back cover just makes me love the front even more. I may have occult-vibe bias but yh, I dig it. I do completely agree w/ you on The Now Now. I hate the waAaRPed effect & why is 2D holding a guitar??? 🤷♂️ Love the art for The Fall. I feel like Jamie should’ve done something similar for the Now Now as it’s clearly the summer counterpart to The Fall (The Fall’s a better album ..don’t lynch me Gorillaz fans. ..deep down you know I’m right) Personally not a fan of Humanz’ cover, looks too weird for me, I’d rather have a 3D render closer to what they had in the Stylo vid or Cracker Island singles. Plastic Beach is #1 for me tho, cover-wise. It’s just so iconic, memorable & just generally pretty to look at while you’re spinning the record.
