16:09 Orchestral Intro 17:17 Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach 20:52 White Flag 24:35 Rhinestone Eyes 33:25 Stylo 37:56 Superfast Jellyfish 40:50 Empire Ants (
Blur took britpop and made it weird. They have some really fun music. I wouldn't really compare them to oasis. They were always a little more interesting. Also, Little Dragon is amazing. Everything Yukimi touches is golden. I never really got into this album, but I always loved the two songs she collabed on.
Really enjoy Plastic Beach, brilliantly put together. Great album to check your reaction to, Sam. Always good fun. Saw some live chat nominations for Blur's 13 and TV On The Radio's Dear Science and I would endorse those as good choices for a communal listening experience.
I loved this video! Plastic Beach is a grower I go back to all the time. Subscribed! I think you would really love the LP Ultra Mono by IDLES. It's one of my favorite punk rock records, and my favorite record of 2020. I noticed you were selling it on your store and was thinking of buying it off there... 🤔 Anyways thank you for this reaction, really brightened up my bad day
Saw you do Song Machine the other night and came back to this. Glad you're enjoying them - they are one of my all-time favourite artists/groups/art collaborations whatever label you can apply to them. If you're looking for another, go for their debut self-titled.
Thanks, I watched this a few days after the broadcast... I own this albulm on vinyl but have not listened to the whole thing (I've had it at least a year). I didn't know what I was missing! What an amazing album.
Super Furry Animals was doing this type of genre bending and incorporating electronic music with rock in the 90’s. Probably the most underrated and in my opinion the best band out of the 90’s UK rock explosion. The albums Radiator and Guerilla are amazing.
Finally my favourite band of all time! :) I can't count how many times I listened to this album after release playing NFS Porsche 2000. Funny thing with Damon Albarn is no matter how many times I listen to something he created, I always find something new I never discovered before. This time orchestral part of Sweepstakes took my attention and after all these years it was really appreciated by myself. Great listen as always Sam, keep it up carrying music light among us.
@@VinylJunkies666 I thank you for nice receive, I'm very glad you liked this album. My highlight of this video was your reaction to Empire Ants half drop, which is my top 3 of their songs. Sweet! If you ever want to try something Blur created (which was your question about Damon during livestream), try 13 or Think Tank. I that period of time they had typical britpop period behind and turned into more amazing experimental tunes, which is main difference between Blur and Oasis. Thanks again Old Man!
Blur was similar to Oasis in the early-mid 90s but in the later 90s they really transformed their sound. I’m 100% sure you would enjoy Blur’s self titled and 13, as they are a lot more electronic rock-sounding.
The blur that has withstood the test of time and not gotten dated starts at the self titled album all the way through Think Tank. 13 is blur’s best album.
Hi Sam! JacksAxe here! Was listening to your broadcast while driving up to work, and just finished the rest. Love Plastic Bag, and looking forward to the next Gorillaz record you got (whenever it comes in). A question: If I have a record to recommend, do I name the record and artist, and tip you the cost of the record? Or do you go out and buy records that multiple people you trust recommend you listen to, and the people have to fund it afterward for you to listen to it? Not sure what the process for this is, if there is one. Anyways, I'm like a broken record myself for constantly saying this, but listening to all different kinds of musical experiences is a huge reason why I love your channel! It's all about the art, and there's a beauty to being exposed and experiencing all kinds of different art. And... well, of course, it's also all about the community, with you and everyone else, to listen and experience those same things together. :)
@@VinylJunkies666 Alright, cool. I'm going to explore a few albums on my end, and see if I can suggest one for you in a message sometime. Thank you, Sam!
I agree with the rant at 1:00:20 when it comes to assigning pointless scores to albums but I think most people have a favorite album by an artist. Demon Days and Plastic Beach both stand on their own as great albums but I personally prefer Demon Days as a whole (even though plastic beach has my two favorite Gorillaz songs, Empire Ants and On Melancholy Hill.) Assigning scores to albums can be a bad thing, especially with how toxic the music community on the internet tends to get but if you're talking about your opinion, I don't see the problem.
52:33 they’re both “90s Brit pop” bands, but what makes them different is blurs willingness to experiment. Oasis has a very 90s rock sound whereas blur is more alternative I think. Beginning to end blur has a very noticeable progression, while most oasis songs sound the same? Just an opinion.
I was an good album at best. Artistically it didn't come close to Demon Days. I mean, Demon Days did something fresh and new. It created a world, a story and a mythos. Plastic Beach just talked about what it would be like living in a pile of garbage on the beach. Lame premise. It had a couple good tunes but most were mediocre compared to Demon Days. Not saying it was bad, because it was actually pretty good, just not the best Gorillaz had to offer.

17:17 Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach
20:52 White Flag
24:35 Rhinestone Eyes
33:25 Stylo
37:56 Superfast Jellyfish
40:50 Empire Ants (
Thank God for YOU and all your work.
I misread that as "3 weeks ago" oops.
Most reactions: "oh wow! This sounds so great! The production value is so high!
This reaction: B O N G F O R B R E A K F A S T
Empire ants has to be one of my favourite songs of all time
I 100% agree with you homie
Yes. Me too. It continues to have full or most of the impact it had on me when i first heard it.
I think it's as close to perfect as any song will ever get
Thank you YT Recommended for this blessing.
Hop in the live streams! The music is great and the old man is damn funny
Thanks for listening

They stop being Britpop after TGE
Everyone loves oasis now but at the time blur outright beat them, in no.1’s and album sales
Compare Oasis to late Blur albums and you'll find the difference that matters. EOT
@@bipedofthecentury9956britpop is subjective. Why did they stop after tge?
@@Karton206all blur

Don't have either yet

really glad you ended up enjoying this album, it’s amazing
Welcome aboard!

Omg... its so great when these stay up!
Great video, subbed. Also noticed that Igor vinyl 😳
Thanks for the sub!

really good... thanks for playing this...opened up a new world - which you often do, good work sir!
Thanks for listening!
Someone with a lot of money needs to send him Parklife on vinyl that’d be an experience to watch
The blur that has withstood the test of time and not gotten dated starts at the self titled album all the way through Think Tank. 13 is blur’s best album.
@@cactaceous I agree with one exception - Modern Life Is Rubbish is still a great listen. MLIR, Blur, 13 - that's the trilogy you need.
This is my favorite album of all time 🙌
When you hear snoop dogg start singing what a moment ,Loved it 👍🏻
That singing at the start of the record made me subscribe
1:00:20 damn that was a good rant, respect for that
I subbed for that. Good shit. Like minds finding eachother. =)
killed my vibe a bit
Didn't know I needed to hear "Bong for breakfast" ad-libbed into superfast jellyfish, but here we are, thanks

Agreed and thats why oasis lost the charts battle against them
You should watch the music videos as well. They are brilliant.
Cool stream. You should definitely do an old man listens to Mavillain's Madvillainy if you aren't familiar with it already.
Have it, know it well. Great suggestion tho
27:59
enjoyed this B)
I hate I missed this! Damn notifications!
What happened to the Neutral Milk Hotel reaction? I cant find it anywhere and Id love to watch it
Blocked, Sorry
@@VinylJunkies666 no worries mate. thanks for the reply. Did you enjoy the album?
I couldn’t imagine dedicating this much time to the beginning of the decline of Albarn & Gorillaz.
You watched 😏
No. These reactions have been popping up in my feed ever since I watched one demon days react video.
Great stuff as usual and I agree with you about the "rating" stuff :)
Thanks!
Great album
i was looking for the slowdive vid, did that get blocked? or just not happened yet?
Must’ve been blocked I think he did It about two or three weeks ago
Blocked. Sorry
Please react to the other gorillaz records 🙏❤️
Demon Days is a masterpiece imo
I love empire ants so much
Plastic bag💀
I was an good album at best. Artistically it didn't come close to Demon Days. I mean, Demon Days did something fresh and new. It created a world, a story and a mythos.

Not saying it was bad, because it was actually pretty good, just not the best Gorillaz had to offer.
I think it was saying a bit more than that
