The вЂњAahвЂќ melody 2D gives to the background of this song is pretty cool, but it completely drowns out the already distorted lyrics. And donвЂ™t even get me started on the awful screaming in the intro. It relies too heavily on вЂњspace soundsвЂќ and makes it feel like a cacophony of random alien noises. While I have liked the beats to the previous songs, I do not like the one Gorillaz gives us here. This is the first song on the album I really did not care for. As with the last one, this is a good song. It talks about how kids can become violent with the right tools, and the passionate chorus makes this clear. Especially towards the end of the song, the instrumentals take over and create a fabulous outro. This song in particular shows that lyrics do not have to be everything. The space influenced sounds can be heard at the ends of the verses and the beeps reminiscent to hi-hats in the last minute of the track. Gorillaz did not give featuring credits in the songвЂ™s names on the album, so I will do that for them. The lyrics are good as well, leaning more to the existential side of life, and for a band based on intergalactic proportions, these lyrics fit nicely. His monotonous, staggered flow works excellently over the jamming beat, and his voice picks up in emotion when the instrumentals flawlessly transition to a beautiful piano. To me, he kind of sounds like a hippie, but it works well with this song. 2DвЂ™s vocals (who is the lead singer in the fictional version of Gorillaz) are very strange. When the weird, electronic drums come in with the wonky, high piano, it makes the entire song a catchy jam. It introduces one of many bass lines found on this album that are exceptional, and the beat just gets better from there. The first real song on this album, it starts the project out strong. However, I like the low yet fat bass line and the bizarre, galactic sounds that preview what type of beats you will hear on the album, and the last line about entering into the harmonic zone prepares you for the experience this album brings. ItвЂ™s a minute long intro filled mainly with the phrase вЂњWho put chemicals in the food chainвЂќ which, when repeated over and over and pitch shifted, gets really annoying.

This may affect my view of their songs compared to yours or anyone elseвЂ™s, so keep that in mind as I talk about the songs. Just as a fair warning, I do not know too much about all the charactersвЂ™ names in Gorillaz or if they have separate personalities or anything, and I really have not watched their music videos either. However, the recommendation to review their debut album, and probably their most popular one, gave me the motivation to pick it up and actually listen to it. I felt that I would have to do research to fully understand their music and really analyze every lyric to understand what existential message it was attempting to convey.

That was pretty much all I knew about them and, in actuality, they seemed like a cool band, but I never listened to them. It sounds confusing, but think about for a few minutes and itвЂ™ll make sense. I knew that they were an alternative band who, with the help of an animator, made another band within their own band (conveniently named вЂњGorillazвЂќ), who were a band from space. I had known of Gorillaz existence before.
