The Gorillaz Plastic Beach is really a fantastic album. Really. It is an easy and interesting listen that traverses many styles and blends old school hip-hop, R&B, Funk, Electro, Brit-Pop and more seemlessly and beautifully. They know what they are doing and the production value is superb. Plus it looks great. To wit, watch this vid and pay special attention the animated avatars of all the special guests and collaborators on the album as they all ride their mini-subs to Plastic Beach. Shit hawt dude. Shit hawt. The violence is Wong Kar Wai (sp?) good. Seriously.
