White Flag is even better on second listen, and i warmed to the first Snoop song a little.

just follow along with wikipedia tracklisting? not that hard

Um, I just figured there was some segmented play through I didn't know about. I'm listening while doing other things so I'm not hearing changes in songs until it's blatantly obvious, and I can hardly keep track of it. Guess everybody is just listening a lot closer than I am.

Maybe I'm just weird, but other than Stylo, which I KNOW I like, I'm finding Some Kind Of Nature to be the next best thing I've heard so far.

I kinda am :lol But I'm preoccupied with other things as the tracks play in the background, so sometimes I'm tuning out the songs. What evs, I'll just give this a more in depth listen later.

I sooooo hope they make a video for Superfast Jellyfish because it would be awesome. That song is great. :D

It's cool to see a billboard for it in the Stylo Video trailer.

The video I'm imagining for it is awesome.

There's a guitar on Rhinestone Eyes, by the way.

;D

(Second listen, really have it cranked now and it brings the album into a whole new level. Pure Distilled Gorillaz Horror Dub.)

I'm blown away. My expectations were sky high and it somehow topped them. I don't think that's ever happened. The production on this is so amazing/unique/insane (and to think I was worried when I heard Danger Mouse wasn't coming back). Just wow.

Wow, this may be the best surprise in a while for me! I didn't even know Gorillaz were releasing a new album anytime soon (but I also never keep up with new CD releases). Time to give this bad boy a listen, I <3 me some Gorillaz.

EDIT: Due to people saying how awesome "Empire Ants" was, and the fact that I'm slightly impatient, I did the math and checked where each song starts on that NPR player. The slider kind of sucks, and it's hard to get an exact time, so just get as close as you can. I'm still going to listen to the Album from start to finish the first time (it's a tradition when I get a new Album), but just in case:

1. Orchestral Intro (Starts at 0:00)
2. Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach (Starts at 1:10)
3. White Flag (Starts at 4:45)
4. Rhinestone Eyes (Starts at 8:28)
5. Stylo (Starts at 11:48)
6. Superfast Jellyfish (Starts at 16:18)
7. Empire Ants (Starts at 19:12)
8. Glitter Freeze (Starts at 23:56)
9. Some Kind of Nature (Starts at 27:59)
10. On Melancholy Hill (Starts at 30:59)
11. Broken (Starts at 34:52)
12. Sweepstakes (Starts at 38:10)
13. Plastic Beach (Starts at 43:31)
14. To Binge (Starts at 47:18)
15. Cloud of Unknowing (Starts at 51:06)
16. Pirate Jet (Starts at 54:12)​

Let me know if I have any of these wrong, I'll edit again.

Only track I haven't really liked is Welcome to the World. It feels like a track specifically created to be an introduction to the album. Which is strange because there's an actual intro.

White Flag and everything after Superfast Jellyfish are amazing.

Incredible album.

Some songs sound alright- others are pretty meh. Overall awesome.

I don't follow this logic...

If some songs are alright, and alright is < awesome
others are pretty meh, and meh is < awesome

How does overall = awesome?

The best song I've heard is Empire Ants. Seriously check out Little Dragon. They are swedish, their lead singer is Japanese, and she sounds like Erykah Badu.

Alone in my office today, gonna give this a second listen through. :D

Not sure why I can't really get into White Flag. The orchestra is obviously extremely talented and I don't hate the verses, but it's just not really working for me.

Really nice to see the love Little Dragon is getting. Check out there 2 albums and the work that Yukimi Nagano (lead singer) did with Koop called Summer Sun. Great music

Nice. I guess I will get the iTunes version. Might as well get extra tracks.

It is interesting that the US is getting it last in a time of piracy. Not sure why that decision was made.

I think it was On Melancholy Hill that had that 80's love song sound to it. Love it and loving this album.

I absolutely love the album.

For some reason, On Melancholy Hill hits me the hardest, it's definitely my favorite right now. I can't even explain why, but something about all of the song's more subtle sounds just gets right to me.

I'm also particularly fond of Sweepstakes, mostly cause it sounds like it belongs on the Ecstatic.

I've been bumping the whole album all this morning. Amazing

Seriously, Empire Ants is sex for the ears.
