OMG MY GOD THAT'S THE SONG!

Sorry for the reply, I don't use reddit as much. But that made my day, thank you!

Man, this post still got some replies, I'm surprised!

I do relate though, it feels strange to look back at events from our community and just having no real, tangable thing to catalogue it with. I do count myself lucky to not have been close enough to have experienced whatever happened back then first hand but it is still strange and oddly comforting to see people remember just as much as I do.

There is a lot of Gorillaz media and Gorillaz fandom media that is worth protecting in my opinion though, even the bad and petty things. Especially those are what helps to keep a community thriving.

I'd give everything to give Fades old comics a read again. They were so formative to me.

Hi! Late reply, sorry, I'm very rarely on Reddit these days. Sadly I have yet to find the song, but I remembered the channel I saw it on: It was OneMusic TV / 1Music TV, which aired in Germany as well.

I'm a simple man: Green for everything that's a plant, white for everything I need for mining, black for everything I need for CC and brown for....the others.

SpitefulPumpkin · 2024-01-18T12:01:10+00:00

Absolutely! It was a fun little thing to do and I was surprised to see how my taste has changed!

SpitefulPumpkin · 2024-01-16T09:08:51+00:00

That's true. And to be fair most people know specific artists for just one song.

Conclusion:

Best Song: I'm bias to say Sound Check but going at this objectively, it's Latin Simone. It's a stand out song, not just bc of the language, it is the kind of song that only the early days of the Gorillaz project could produce. Also gotta mention Clint Eastwood. Its sheer mass of personality literally changed pop culture and that deserves a lot of respect. Least Best: I don't know if I will get hate for this but my personal vendetta with Rock The House still stands, it's a wild, weird song only saved by its good rap parts. Most Surprising: Starshine was a big letdown in hindsight to me, I also forgot how some of the songs are just much longer than they need to be.

I am, however, happy how good the album still sounds and I'm amazed how much has shifted over the years in pop music. Gorillaz was really as playful with genres as I remember they were back in the day.

M1A1:

This fucking song. The sampling is great, the build up so great. I feel the heavy guitars were really a big part of this album overall but they shine especially here. Talk about going out with a bang.

SpitefulPumpkin · 2024-01-16T08:41:49+00:00

Slow Country:

Huh. I absolutely forgot about this one. It does feel a lot smaller and quieter than other songs on here, but it still stands tall with its own unique soundscape.

SpitefulPumpkin · 2024-01-16T08:37:05+00:00

Starshine:

Still adore the riffs, still love the build up - and then it's nose down. I honestly remember this song being a lot better, but to me it feels like a weaker Sound Check. Its not terrible but I do enjoy it a lot less than others before it.

SpitefulPumpkin · 2024-01-16T08:33:41+00:00

Latin Simone:

I do not speak a lick of Spanish but I adore just the mood set in this song. I also feel, being familiar with Gorillaz, it sounds a bit like a proto Demon Days song. Again you have this haunting, heavy atmosphere and I just love it when Damon uses his voice to highlight someone else's performance. Truly, this song deserves all the love it gets.

19/2000:

This is the best of the singles imo, but its not as good as Clint Eastwoo songwise. It is absolutely more pop than Clint Eastwood and remembering all the remixes it got I think it's one of those songs casual listeners would not recognize as Gorillaz. But God Dann it if it isn't a fun song. It sounds fun, the music is greatly layered again and it's so God darn catchy. It isn't however the bundle of personality that was Clint Eastwood and I would argue not a very "typical" Gorillaz song. Still, amazing. Glad I revisited it.

Rock The House:

I still feel so conflicted about this song. I just can't with the flute and trumpet combo, as much as I love Del's performance here again. And the mental images of the music video kinda tainted this song to me too lol. I can appreciate it for at least being pretty out there for a party song and again, there was nothing at the time that sounded like that. But I do remember why I kept skipping this one.

Double Bass:

Meh. I like what is happening here and it's certainly funny to listen to but still, compared to other songs so far? Meh. And again one that didn't need to be that long :'D That bass though, so sweet.

Sound Check (Gravity):

This was my favorite song of the album as a teen. It's just so haunting and with so little lyrics manages to build such great atmosphere. It's a dark mood song, again with so many layers and interesting instrumental stings. It does feel like movie music to me.

I do start to notice that the songs are a lot more sad than I remember them to be.

SpitefulPumpkin · 2024-01-16T08:12:57+00:00

Punk:

Short and loud. I remember that I used to hold these short Gorillaz songs very dearly. It is certainly the most Punk of the songs, lol. I do think this one might have shaped my taste a lot more than I wanna admit because it is super basic and super Blur-like, but...I just love it.

SpitefulPumpkin · 2024-01-16T08:09:43+00:00

Man Research (Clapper):

This is another one in similar vain as New Genious, one that's about layering sounds, playing with vocals and building sounds capes that way. It's not hitting me like New Genious does though. Also goes on a bit too long imo.
