'Gorillaz - Meanwhile...' EP REVIEW

Gorillaz are back with a surprise EP consisting of three new tracks paying homage to the British Notting Hill Carnival. In this video I go over my thoughts on the project and discuss what I personally believe the lyrics to be about. Enjoy!

[@megakoopa-pokemonandmore6152]

Hoodohoodlumsrevenge, where’ve you been? We miss you. And I think you should make a part two to the best Pokémon creepypastas

[@JmKrokY]

👍🏻

[@youtubeisdead]

Are you doing Halloween this year

[@Moldeyawsome12]

I was kinda hoping this would’ve been a full album, but hopefully that means Song Machine s2 isn’t too far down the line

[@chaigneau6981]

Did you know that after 3 seasons of Song Machine something as big as the Plastic Beach project will come? Personally I think that it’s going to be the movie

[@fizzpeakgamer1318]

@@chaigneau6981 didn't happen oop

[@mateuszjabonski4032]

I have a feeling that Jimmy Jimmy has a type of beat thats similar to Demon Days and Gorillaz ((album) due to melodica). Just throwing it out there

[@UnorthodoxIndividual]

Got my fucking KZbin channel briefly deleted yesterday, thank god Gorillaz put out something to help me get through that, I really liked this EP, Jimmy Jimmy was actually surprisingly my favorite, it’s 🔥

[@timblom7364]

Honestly after song machine 2 you should update your top 20 Gorillaz tracks!

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

Haven't really kept up with their music lately. But that sounds really cool. I should listen to them more again.

[@jessica5497]

You should because Song machine is great

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

@@jessica5497 It really is.

[@cyn5726]

For real👍so glad I came back! I wish I could go see the world tour right now...

[@TBG1]

Whenever I see that gorillaz uploaded songs I know that you'll post a video about it and I love that

[@TwilightZoneMusic03]

Man I missed your gorillaz reviews! I've been waiting for this one!

[@damndanielthesuctioncupdan]

You have now hit 300,000 subs!

[@ianjohns5701]

Hoodo Nes Godzilla has a game being made

[@damndanielthesuctioncupdan]

Hoodo is back!

[@deadsoul7147]

Your Finally back

[@TheRandomRager]

I should listen to them more

[@cherrydart]

i made an album review a few months ago, and after watching this video, i realized that i subconsciously took inspiration from you and your videos

[@Asterisk229]

Wish he’d come back for cracker island

[@jacquegb3080]

You are back

[@prestonvienneau1196]

More songz please!

[@ringer1324]

Such a amazing EP Gorillaz has been on such a huge upward swing after humanz and The Now now we’re seen as bad by a lot of people. (I mean I loved them but I’m in the minority)

[@FK-13]

thanks to you I became a Gorillaz fan

[@dominicabbs2439]

I love Gorillaz they are my favourite band in the world

[@Octorber13]

The cover art is a nice throwback to their past but is also a bit haunting with the state of how the world is atm.

[@G.reviewz]

Did a breif video talking about these songs on my channel really love them and deja vu got me up and dancing haha love it glad i stuck my channel to gorillaz stuff these days

[@epictom3423]

Epic

[@luissantiago5163]

Ayy noice

[@cyberash3000]

i LOVE Ska, so i love jimmy jimmy, and i love deja vu as i love reggae the only one im not keen on is the first one, meanwhile gorillaz are a modern day 10CC so its fitting that 10CC has an album called meanwhile and the gorillaz has a album called "meanwhile"

[@Apxcxlyptic]

this was good for an ep but… it certainly wasn’t their best work lol (also you should make a discord server :D

[@GTP2763]

Can you please do top 10 Thomas and friends creepypastas?

[@itzdeezbeatz2482]

My favorite track on the ep was jimmy jimmy

[@leonard7999]

Bonzikill "vicious black-red gorilla" creepypasta

[@hamu6118]

Since you tried to beat noodle fight, could you try to beat the winnebago toilet game?

[@Babydoll12345]

coolllllll

[@Puyopuyotsu]

Did you accidentally use your old icons?

[@olizing2288]

Isn't you character inspired / based around 2-D?

[@Taylortheslayer]

you should remake some of your old creepypasta videos id like to see how you do you would do that with you improved video making skills and your more mature attitude

[@myspareaccount8113]

People who don't keep up with gorillaz scare me.

[@Papyrus-cs5di]

Do u now any thing a bout scare theater

Ep more like pp

[@Hazelpupps]

first

[@TheRandomRager]

I was 4th lmao

[@pixlpuk3]

This Ep was horrible in my opinion I'm tired of the constant features it honestly isn't my style

[@ringer1324]

The Features can’t really ruin these songs for you what else do you not like about it

[@yeahyeahyeahyeah987]

I'm sorry you don't seem to like Clint Eastwood, rock the house, dirty harry, feel good inc, any song off of humanz, do ya thing, humility, any song machine song, laika come home, etc. They all have features, after all.

[@pixlpuk3]

@@yeahyeahyeahyeah987 those songs you mentioned are some of my favorites but they didn't take up the entire song and it still felt like I was listening to a Gorillaz song, my issue with current Gorillaz is how features are taking over entire songs and instead of a few songs being features the whole album has them. I've given there new work a shot but I personally just don't enjoy it

[@pixlpuk3]

@TheLucasShow now that's a lie there most popular albums, demon days and self titled don't have many features at all its all original

[@pixlpuk3]

@@ringer1324 the features do ruin these songs for me, the genre isn't to my taste already and the features take up the entire track with 2D barely getting any vocal work I don't want to hate on Gorillaz but there new stuff just doesn't work for me

[@ethyn1592]

so sorry your channel is dying bro...
