I really like Gorillaz, but I don't really like the whole cartoon-ey thing, makes the album seem less serious to me

That one was cool too, gotta admit
>>66105053
?
I think they make great music, but the cartoon personas and album covers and shit kind of turns me off
>>66105396
the flipbook that comes with the CD is pretty neat
>>66105402
What turns you on then baby?
>>66105415
you

I think the cartoon aspects are for kids. I can appreciate Gorillaz but I think I'd like them far more if I were younger and not really thinking about the fact that Damon Albarn is the one really making the music.

I really don't like the balance on the composition of this cover. What is there so much emphasis on the water? It's just empty boring space.
>>66105444
Because it doesn't matter. That's the point of the band.
Only the press and Damon fans care about him more than the whole project.
>>66101021
stop putting this fucking cancer album everywhere, there's nothing good about it

I used to be really into Gorillaz when I was younger, and even then, it never really felt to me like the "intention" of the project was to accentuate the cartoon characters as the actual "band". I think that's just the visual accompaniment they chose for the project, and nobody is expected to imagine the characters as being behind the music, really

Wasn't it at least partially though? I mean, if you look at the promotional material they've released throughout the years, they're showcasing the animated band.
I get the feeling Damon was pretty happy with the fame blur got him, and started gorillaz to be able to work with a lot of different musicians without ending up front and center. I always thought of gorillaz the same way I thought of Daft Punk's headwear, just a way to push the music, not yourself.
There's a nice night version too.
>>66100704
This version's better
>>66105718
Damon or Hewlett I can't remember which said that they wanted kids to just see the characters they made as the band.

It was jamie
The reason that gorillaz has cartoon personas is to formulate popstars the way that the team behind the music felt should be done. Gorillaz came in an era where superstar 'musicians' plagued the charts (and still do today). They felt that it was more about the identity than the music, somewhat like characters that had a 'narrative arc' etc. etc. They wanted to build popstars that cared about music and weren't flooded by the press, so what they decided to do was make them cartoons

Anything by Roger Dean, really
Black Metal objectively has the best covers
