Nov 6, 2010This is probably the last hope for humanity when it comes to music. With all this crap on the charts, it's annoying not to see this album anywhere up there. Absolutely amazing.

HendriMar 10, 2010Brilliant! what i expect from gorillaz.listen to the entire album more than once to understand what is going on.

robp.Mar 10, 2010Hardly a lagging moment on Alburn's finest work since 13. Lush. Vibrant. Genius.

SpootyThespootMar 9, 2010This is the pop filling I've been waiting for the past 3 years. Very experimental and I absolutely adore the overall volume that this kicks. Nom nom nom to your ears.

R.GGVMar 16, 2010Absolutely awesome. The most balanced, consistent Gorillaz album and each track complement each other while the whole album flows like a clean stream. There might be no Feel Good or Clint Eastwood but that's why it is so good because there is no big hitting song that throws the album off. Buy it. Now.

MiguelM.Mar 10, 2010The greatest album I have ever heard to date. Gorillaz have always been a creative and unique band but i never seen something like this before. My favorite song is White Flag, the flowing beats and lyrics just tie in so perfectly and well done. This album is definatly worth buying.

JosephA.Mar 9, 2010This album sounds different from other Gorillaz albums but if your a fan of how they tend to bring something new in each album then you might like it. This album is for people with certain tastes that can appreciate the sound, style and mixes it offers. I actually want more.

idreamo.Mar 9, 2010Album of the year(possibly). Hopefully Albarn's next project will be to produce a solo Womack album or more duets with Little Dragon.

SanstoneZ.Mar 9, 2010Best album of 2010 and best Gorillaz album. Smooth and melodic with lots of changeups. Musical fusion at it's best.

TheEz8Mar 10, 2010Flawless album as well as brilliantly thought out and executed. Definitely contender for best album of the year and by far best Gorillaz album to be released.

DexStudMar 10, 2010Has all the elctro glitz and glam of great bands from the 80's. Love all the cameos. Plastic Beach is much better than their debut and Demon Days!
-
-
YanniLMar 12, 2010Outstanding trip hop. We want more of this, Gorillaz!

PatrickCMar 13, 2010Really brilliant album. Superior to their first album and equal with Demon Days. This album takes longer to warm up to then Demon Days, but if you did enjoy either of Gorillaz's past albums, you will eventually love this album. The song's I really warmed up to first were Rhinestone Eyes, and Sweepstakes. So if you're having a hard time with the album, try those two songs some.

LeahT.Mar 10, 2010As brilliant an album as anything else I've heard this year. Fantastic collaborations and Albarn's signature melodic charm. Wonderful.

jamesMar 15, 2010Staggeringly good. If you don't give this 10 out of 10 then shame upon your musical soul.

rx2Mar 18, 2010Most albums that require relistens are fabulous. The Good, the Bad, and The Queen took some time get into and this does as well. It's brilliant. It's wonderful that we have tracks like these.

DanB.Mar 9, 2010Gorillaz third studio release does not disappoint. With a more 80's, electronica feel than the previous album Demon Days; Plastic Beach will draw in a different crowd while maintaining the original Gorillaz fan base. With a wide range of celebrity cameos and great production value this album will have you humming its contagious beats long after listening.

JordanMar 9, 2010Trials off in the end, but is still extremely fun throughout. Superfast Jellyfish and Empire Ants are amazing songs.

Only behind such a distracting smokescreen could Damon Albarn get away with conducting a project as sprawling, daring, innovative, surprising, muddled and magnificent as Plastic Beach: not just one of the best records of 2010, but a release to stand alongside the greatest Albarn’s ever been involved with and a new benchmark for collaborative music as a whole.
-
Best when he’s corralling others into out-of-their-comfort-zone creativity, it’s the Albarn-sung tracks on the second half of the album where the attention wanders and the album opening Snoop Dogg cameo seems a million miles away. Of course, there’s alot here to take in and maybe it just needs a fair few listens to fully digest it - the sign of any album worth its salt.

MojoThe music that wraps around the concept is never boring and much of it is excellent....What's lacking is the nailed-on megatune--a "Clint Eastwood" or "Feel Good Inc"--that we've come to expect from a Gorillaz album. [Apr 2010, p.99]
