Gorillaz was created by 2 people: Damon Albarn (from the band Blur) & Jamie Hewlett (comic artist best known for Tank Girl). They call themselves a 'virtual band'. There's a base group of musicians who also contribute to vocals, but other well known artists (from a variety of genres) are rotated in & out--so all the songs sound a little different. The rap on this track was De La Soul. And there's actually a whole story line behind the characters & the songs tell the story (as illustrated by Hewlett).

"Early 2000s vibes." This song came out the year I graduated high school, 2005. It's the AMV vibe that likely caught your eye since a lot of people mashed up music with anime scenes to make AMVs.

@Magic Man ✔︎ In 2 years time, it will have! Which is honestly crazy to me. 25 years since such a fucking fire song dropped.
De La Soul doing the rap. Kind of about how the world of entertainment/music isn't such a feel good place for those in it, except maybe the corrupt types ( like Murdoch on the guitar). Good band, so glad you enjoyed them.

This was on the album Demon Days which came out in 2005. The whole album slaps, but the most notable off of it (which also have videos) are DARE, Dirty Hary and the one you've listened to Feel Good Inc. But I recommend their other stuff, like On Melancholy Hill, Stylo from their Plastic Beach album.

Gorillaz is one of the most unique "groups" of all time. It's actually one main guy, Damon Albarn, who works with a bunch of other artists. As a result, the music can't really be classified into one genre as it tends to completely change from song to song. The whole Demon Days album is a masterpiece but I'd say Dirty Harry, November Has Come, and El Manana are a few highlights off the album. Besides that album, the songs Clint Eastwood and Stylo are really good but my favorite of theirs would probably have to be Empire Ants. Keep it up with these videos man, you're killing it.

@joehynes54522 жыл бұрын
Gorillaz is a virtual band and there's an order to watch the videos(look them up) as they tell the story of the group. The animation ages the members with each video that comes out, it's really cool. Every song is different and is also intended to have numerous collaborations(mostly rappers), they cannot be confined to any specific genre and that's what still keeps them as fresh as when they started 20 years ago. So many great songs and collabs but I highly suggest that you look up their video timeline and backstory if you have time. Enjoy this wonderful rabbit hole of music and storytelling

I know this an older reaction vid, but just saw the Gorillaz reaction you did a few days ago and will go to a first reaction to a band like this before I watch the recent video. At about 1:51 you say something like 'trying to still get into this but kind of like it and you weren't expecting this.' Sounds about right for first time hearing them. They are so unique it would be impossible to expect this music from anything. So smooth and so well constructed that it is impossible to not really love this band and not even know it. One of the best bands of the early-mid 2000s (had to correct the date, I'm old, time gets blurred) and still doing it now. They are just too good not to be great. One of a kind.
