HelgiG.Mar 17, 2010I have to say I am disappointed. Having listened to the whole album leaves me with not remembering a single song. I also found the album pretty much all the same. It was pretty relaxing listening to the first few songs but then the album just became plain boring. Come on Gorillaz! You can do so much better than this!

May 22, 2015Disappointing of some sort. Tried listening to it multiple times, even revisited the album several years later, and yet again, it does not convince me as much as Demon Days did.

Jul 14, 2020This is a good album. It’s well made, well written, all around a solid record. However, it’s a bit too rap oriented for my taste, as I’m not a big fan of the genre. Some rap parts I like, but the majority of the time it just drags the album down for me.

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]
