Standing between album #2 and #4 - the relative monocultures of Demon Dayz and the follow-up Humanz (2017) - the flashy insanity of Plastic Beach’s sprawling 18-track mess seemed to shine a little brighter. Plastic Beach would end up about par review-wise, settling at a comfortable 77 on Metacritic, snug between Gorillaz’ 71 and Demon Days’ 82.īut the album saw an end-of-decade uptick as critics cast their eyes back, fishing for christened classics. Gorillaz went platinum its sophomore follow-up Demon Days (2005) would go double-platinum.

Despite debuting at #2 on both the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200, the album wouldn’t break the records of its predecessors. Though not as universally recognized as the groups first (self-titled) album Gorillaz (2001), Plastic Beach enjoyed a bit of a late, late renaissance following its release in 2010.

What we’re concerned with is the group’s third album-length project, the prophetic, depressingly titled Plastic Beach (2010).

There’s ten billion think-pieces and stink-pieces about what the Gorillaz are or are not if you’ve never heard of them, here’s the Wikipedia page.
