Now Now may not be objectively loved among music listeners, but I was really in love with this record when it came out (still love it tho, just not as passionately). I liked Gorillaz before, but this record made me love them. I even made a whole music vid for one song from TNN, but didnt upload it cuz it was quite serious and didnt match the content I've been making in mid of 2018, so it remained resting on my pc. The album always gave me nightly, spacy kind of vibes, apart from Humility, which was quite beachy. Theres no song that I tend to skip on this, however. Some may find the mood for this record not exciting and drab, but it is my comfort album, because it has this melancholic/sad mood I really enjoy. I also feel like Damon was more fragile & honest on this record than he ever did.

I agree with this list completely. However, despite the albums that did poorly, there is no disputing how their discography is impressively diverse and (mostly) quality, being able to appeal to basically anyone and can make you feel plenty of emotion. Alongside some very nice, well-made projects are a cast of fictional musicians that have legitimate character development that is conjured almost solely through music, that allows listeners to be able to connect to the characters in ways maybe people wouldn't if the musicians were normal, real people. I think Gorillaz is a brilliant band and I hope they keep making good projects, bad projects, and everything in between.

I agree and I'd move Humanz up to C. It's not fantastic, and it does have some tonal whiplash to it, and quite the severe case of feature-itis, but it's better than The Fall.

Demon Days was the album that got me into music. I heard Feel Good Inc. on the radio on the way to school when I was 7 and really liked it.

When I got a CD player, I would just listen to that album for hours at a time while playing in the backyard or building with K’nex or something. Gorillaz was my favorite band for a few years before I started listening to Slipknot when I was in 5th grade (for the record my favorite artist seems to change every 5 or so years). With that said, Demon Days has aged incredibly well and is still an amazing album all these years later.

In my opinion: S- plastic beach A- demon days B- self titled, song machine vol 1 C- humanz, the now now D- the fall I like Humanz but I understand why some people might not like it

[@burialshroud]

I don't think I'd be the person I am today if it were not for Gorillaz S/T. I played that CD til it broke then bought it again and played that til it broke. An absolute classic.

[@andregoncalves4365]

Really like this sort of videos. Personally none of them rank lower than a C which is where I'd put The Now Now, not because it isn´t good as I feel like it doesnt even have any skips but more because it doesnt stand out as much and I rarely find myself in a mood where I'd rather listen to songs from the Now Now as oppose to the ones on the other albums.

[@WiiCON-49000]

Demon Days will always be my favorite album. I mowed a lot of lawns to get the money to buy that

[@truelovewontwait]

I still remember the 1st time I saw their debut on my local music shop, I genuinely thought they were a cantonese rap group just by their cover art. And then listening their opening line in clint eastwood oooh ooh ohh - damn thats damon. I lived in Malaysia at that time. So music news are a bit slow.

[@cosmicquazar88]

Song Machine Vol. 1 is my favorite Gorillaz album. It's one of the few enjoyable things that got me through 2020.

[@benhamilton7591]

I got The Fall in A tier simply because of the 4 absolute bangers that came off of it. Revolving Doors Little Pink Plastic Bags Amarillo Bobby in Phoenix

[@cheerio4000]

Never seen people talking abt those tracks tbh. You’re making me want to listen to the album again,, now that we’re talking abt The Fall I’ll list my faves too lol Revolving Doors Aspen Forest The Parish of Space Dust Shy-town Hillbilly man

[@dreamsofanother]

i just sang feel good inc in front of like 50 people for karaoke at some bar last night (I have never sang in front of anyone prior to this) so this is a pretty fitting follow up to what i experienced yesterday if i might say so myself

[@JJJackson777]

I remember being about 12 years old, after a long day out with the parents at Monks Crossing - i had spent the drive there listening to my beloved Gorillaz & Demon Days CD's in my portable CD player - skipping a beat on every bump or hole on the long road. On the hour drive home we stopped off at a big Tesco & i got to buy my first CD: Plastic Beach, i loved it then & i've only grown to love it more, mainly after a long night of being refused into a club & walking many miles, hailing many taxi's back to a new mates gaff, hearing Plastic Beach on Vinyl for the first time. Perfect album, i remember getting lost in the world the album cover & inside artwork.

[@MisterEyeballs]

Agree with most of this, but I'd probably put The Now Now up to B just for being generally very pleasant to listen to. I would also put Song Machine up to at least A tier, possibly S. I just find the production and features so exciting, it really felt like Gorillaz was finally back after Plastic Beach.

[@ElinorMahoney]

Honestly my only change would probably be to put Gorillaz (the very first album with the band in the green car on the cover) in A tier, there was just something about it was that stuck out to me as really great

[@flynn6792]

for me 1. Silverback 2. Western Lowland 3. Mountain

[@Lincolnlogsoff]

Their first album or the one with the Jeep on it to me was by far the best, absolute s tier I was just listening to 5/4 the other day. I'm really glad that you stay current but also give respect and review awesome bands that of course I saw plenty of success but we sometimes forget

[@noodleiswholesome5946]

It's a Geep btw not a jeep

[@jacobgutierrez864]

Imagine rating the fall and humans on the same tier like they just are not comparable. Andromeda and Saturns Barz are great songs and the Fall is literally a collection of first draft demos

[@dorvvid6983]

the debut album is very special to me because my dad LOVED listening to it while driving and taking me to school or for a walk. At the time he was still in his 20's so it was a really fun phase.

[@DannyTanimoto]

If the album was just Dirty Harry and November Has Come, it'd still be a 10, everything else is just the most addicting icing of all time

[@ghouls_are_people_too7088]

But what about G-Sides and D-Sides? They have some amazing songs on them and definitely deserve a place on a Gorillaz tier list.

[@cullenmott7614]

agreed, great albums, so underrated

[@Quoise_]

I love Gorillaz so many good albums Demon days remains my number 1 even if its the standard opinion, Plastic beach and the self title are also super good, song machine is also dope as hell with desole

[@TipMona]

S: plastic beach, demon days A: gorillaz B: song machine C: the now now D: humanz, the fall

[@Kabal732]

Revolving Doors on The Fall was enough to make it a C in my book, love that song.

[@MachKaiko]

2:16 Well, in the US, probably it took a little longer for Gorillaz to catch on compared to Europe. But over in Europe, they became super popular right out of the gate, thanks in no small part to their debut album, especially the hit song "19-2000 (Soulchild Remix)," which became a big deal thanks to FIFA 2002. I was listening to this song on the radio all the time. Also, you forgot to mention the album G-Sides which is basically the Side B from the debut album and included the EP Tomorrow Comes Today (but I think you were just trying to focus only on the main albums)

[@berenerchamion4998]

Why no G-Sides nor D-Sides? G-Sides is really fun to listen to: Dracula, Faust, 12D3, Hip Albatross, Left Hand; whilst D-Sides’ remixes by the end are very tiring, although not so bad overall: Honk Kong is beautiful, Bill Murray is fun, & others like People, Rockit and Honkongaton are just great representative Gorillaz’ tracks. G would probably get a D tier, while D would get an E.

[@quintonberger2407]

D-Sides had some fuckin JAMS on it

[@miltonluttrell378]

Love to see this list at the Twenty year anniversary of Gorillaz experiment. Just got my eight 45 LP collectors edition of the original album yesterday my favorite piece of vinyl now.

[@phoenixh4623]

Anthony, you can't give Plastic Beach a "not good" just because they name drop you on, "Up on Melon-choly Hill."

[@Mathren1]

I think the Now Now was definitely a sort of holdover album with some nice tracks on it, but boy did we need it after Humanz.

[@Mr_bukowski4435]

Honestly I’d rather rank the music videos. The best track from Humanz is Stobelite hands down and is such a banger. But yeah Plastic Beachnis the best and a good edition to Donkey Kong December

[@sawnmiwe1460]

I think Demon Days deserves S tier, but rest is very accurate in my humble opinion, maybe it is the nostalgia hitting me cause I bumped it growing up. Feel Good Inc is simply one of the greatest songs of all time!!

[@distopiann0]

I would love to see a full-length review of Demon Days

[@Windows98.]

Wait til classic week in less than a month

[@distopiann0]

@@Windows98. cool

[@cullenmott7614]

G-Sides and D-Sides are the most underrated Gorillaz albums in my opinion. Would love at some point to get your thoughts on them at some point. Both are at least B-tier in my opinion, probably higher. "Hong Kong" is one of the best protest songs ever written.
