Gorillaz - "Plastic Beach"

Grade: B/B-

It's definitely worth listening to. If you are about to download the album hoping for another "Clint Eastwood" hit, definitely look elsewhere. I would DEFINITELY recommend previewing the album on iTunes or you legal music downloader choice.  Solid songs to sit back and relax to, but nothing really to "jam" to. Even though some of the songs feature the legends such as Snoop Dogg, Mos Def, and De La Soul, nothing really stands out. I am a fan of electronic music, so I'm a partial fan of this album, as it is definitely headed that way. If you are into techno/electronic/trance genres, this is a definite buy; if not because of the genre, because of the artist and to build-up a solid discography.
