Plastic Beach's music and concept have aged scarily well over the years.

Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
LES GO.
Do "As Above So Below" by ANKHLEJOHN
Does this mean by 2030 we will have our first 11?
Yes this album is fantastic. Buuut it's hard to take this review seriously with Lulu in the background.
Listened to Plastic Beach my first time tripping during the come up. This album will forever have a special place in my heart.
@fantano Ive been watching you since 2015 and so far this is my favorite review
This album is like the BEST example of a fine wine. Only gets better with time.
We need a gorillaz tier list.
Please review Allie X's Cape God 2020 album
Plastic beach is a 10 tbh
Well this Aged Badly
@Thabit Purwanto NFT
What happened?
This channel NEEDS to review Demon Dayz! It's literally the perfect album
Aren't you the same dude that made a video about talking to your younger self
Everyone: you cant write just 2 words from the lyrics and expect people to understand it. Me: Up on...
Album's a 5/10. Its highs are incredibly high, but when it gets low? Christ, it's fucking unbearable to me. Edit: Of course you like that garbage ass Lou Reed cut.
Almost feels like yesterday this came out.
Great review. But I'm more curious why he has LuLu on Vinyl
I love this album but Sweepstakes just doesn’t do it for me. I find the guest rappers vocals to be unbearable and downright annoying
I thought Anthony was being sarcastic for the whole review. Was surprised at the end by the generous score as I personally think it's lazy sounding uninspired garbage.
Might be one of the top five most overrated records of all time, honestly.
My favourite album of all time
Fun Fact: The title track features the Clash’s Mick Jones and Paul Simonon on guitar and bass.
glitter freeze is the least fav? come on melon
You should Redux review Wolf by Tyler, The Creator
Gorillaz Forever!
I like going back to this to make sure that the 9 is still there
Plost twist: He's been talking about lulu all along...
It’s my favorite Gorillaz album for sure. In terms of Redux reviews, why not one of Fever Ray’s self titled? Your AOTY for 2009 😎
To Binge>>>Empire Ants
Please do a Redux with Humanz. I feel that it's a really good album that everyone was being a big baby about and i think you should revisit it.
@Joseph R. your trash opinion has no place here
That album sucks just as bad (if not worse) than Plastic Beach.
@Jared Da Puppet Kushner Charger is a little too hard rock and distorted for me but it is still really good. can see why someone would like it that much.
@leschnozzberry no, it's charger
@Jared Da Puppet Kushner oh yeah for sure, apprentice is best song
yep. as u should fantano.
Can you rate my friend’s song? It’s only on soundcloud since she doesn’t have enough money. It’s called To be a Bee. Please do this for charity, it would mean so much to her.......
lulu in the background is spooking me
You mean you lied the first time
cant believe melon tried to pass off an argument as to why he should be allowed to say the n word as a review of Plastic Beach
Cool but when will you redo swimming?
Has Danger Doom ever been reviewed here? That would be neat
I cannot believe this album came out a decade ago smh we are getting old
good album
Revisited the album as a result of this review and yea this album is a gd masterpiece
Good review, but I got a little distracted by that abomination behind you melon.
All ik is plastic beach is a 10
Thank you Mr fantano
The Gorillaz are my favorite band and this is my favorite album of theirs. Glad to see you revisit this one. To Binge is by far my favorite track on this one, I have no idea why I love it so much. Rhinestone Eyes and Pirate Jet are in my top three Gorillaz songs ever
smh he only gave an updated score because he likes the album, resubscribdd
Easily my favourite Gorillaz album ever, speaking as someone who liked a couple of their singles, never been a big fan so maybe the old school fans have a very different opinion, but this just hit in all the right spots, loved the melodies and synth and lyrics so much.
More redux reviews
Grew up on this album and I can’t complain.
Rhinestone Eyes deserves a lot more love
Its the album's most popular song
respect, one of my favorite albums ever.
I used to LIVE this album. It's such a nostalgia trip for me, and I used to spend hours playing the point-and-click Myst parody they released, even though half the puzzles were broken to hell. I even looked to see if I could find an archived download for it, but I've had no such luck. Superfast Jellyfish also lives rent free in my mind.
i just watched the lulu review nice fo see it in the back haha
This was the album that introduced me to Little Dragon. Such an incredible band. The new album is their best. Definitely review worthy!
Out of all their albums, I've hands down listened to this one the most. 9/10 seems about right.
Why does everyone think this one's better than Demon Days? I'm lost as hell
I think they’re both 10s and prefer Demon Days but completely see why people prefer Plastic Beach
Probably because it is
Honestly this is my favourite album of all time. The theme of the music, the story and design of the accompanying material, it all means so much to be and hit me when i was a teen so really shaped how i view the world in a way. I feel like this album fits better almost in todays market than it did back in 2010, and im so glad that people are giving it a relisten with new appreciation, or finding it through the youtube algorithm etc Empire Ants especially has gone through a resurgence in popularity and has been remixed countless times on all those 'homework radio 24/7' streams. In 2010, Plastic Beach felt like a subtle warning of what is to come In 2021, relistening to Plastic Beach feels like a slap in the face for not heeding the warning, with all that has happened since
What about pirates progress?
I love to hear his opinions on albums I already listened too and loved because I'm sitting there like "oh he's gonna mention that synth beat" "OH SHIT HE MENTIONED THAT SYNTH BEAT"
Review Goldfish albums one day!
Do yourself a favor guys and get this on vinyl, one of the best mixed albums on the format
Fantastic album!
please give my grandma her wheelchair back anthony
Thank lord theres a "Leave meeting" button
I haven't listened to this for quite a while either, and it's on my playlist again now for a close listen. I know I liked it when I was first listening to it and at the time it seemed like it was getting a lot of undeserved shade. I was thinking about music iconoclasts such as Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, the Residents, and Gorillaz to me is probably the newest addition to this "category." You've done so many videos, have you done any about De Staat?
This is one of my favorite records of all time, it feels so good to have someone gush at me about it for 13 minutes. Thank you Anthony.
Some Kind of Nature is my favorite song ever, thank you for helping me explain why
Did they add lost chord in the redux?!
Redux is melon rereviewing it
Breh you need to do redo Saba's Care For Me
Perfect timing that I just saw this bc I just bought it on vinyl!!
No lie one of the best sounding records in my collection.
IT'S SO GOOD
Redux review of the Strokes' Angles?
You should review the newest song machine.
@Orion Raka he reviewed the lost chord?
Bruh he has
YESSSSS
Why the fuck is do you have Lulu on vinyl?? What a threatening presence.
Flexing
I can’t be the only one who thought he’d stop Redux reviews.
Why in the world do you own lulu
Super fast jelly fish is hella underrated
Bruh broken and pirate jet dont get enough
What did you study to become such an intelligible album reviewer?
Definitely grown over time more than any other album, its their best. Be interesting if Humanz grows the same way, I'd be surprised but you never know.
I miss cyborg noodle
It was a great arc
Do a redux of II by crystal castles omg plssss
oh god has it really been a decade
FINALLY I KNEW IT ALL ALONG
This is where the project peaked
He should doa redux on demon days next or think tank
one of the best album ever (:
Loved this album
It would’ve been a 10/10 if they used the beta glitter freeze ver.
Oh and included crashing down

Review Mount Kimbie Love What Survives!
I hated this album when it came out (I was 15) I now realise this is their most complete album. I still think demon days is the best but this album is superb.
Bruh been listening to this album since I was in fourth grade shits crazy how they’ve been relevant my whole life
Empire Ants is easily the best Gorillaz song imo. ALSO, THIS REVIEW MADE ME SMILE IMMENSELY
Glitter freeze as a least favorite track 0/10 review
I AM THE TABLE
this album was visionary, and a classic
Gorillaz forever
Lulu has a Dummy on the cover.
Stylo was instantly one of my favourite Gorillaz songs, it just hits me perfectly. and it also helps that it has a really good music video in spirit of Vanishing point and other car chase films
Superfast Jellyfish is my jam
