I think that, a while back, there was someone who posted under the name "pastor of muppets". That made my day.

I think that Gorillaz are gorillaz music. I prefer to classify their songs individually.
But I've only heard Demon Days, and there's some stuff which is most definitely electronica, some stuff which is most definitely hip-hop, and some stuff which sounds very pop-ish.
Even in that one album, you get cross-genre stuff. I mean, it's very had for me to think of a non cross-genre album off the top of my head. If you think about it, there's usually at least one abnormal song in most albums.
And, therefore, while genre can be useful as an exercise and useful to find music similar to that you like, it is by no means reasonable to label an artist as only one genre.

I have to say, Stylo has been growing on me a lot. Really excited for Plastic Beach.

Thanks jayfin! Im going to dive in now, probably wont make it through, but will finish up in the am if I don't. Either way, muchas gracias and I'll let you know what I think.

No problemo dude. I have listened to it once through (with a break in the middle to do an errand), and I actually really enjoyed it. It's different, that's for sure. And sure, people bash the rappers. That is bound to happen. But i was really feeling it. I think I liked the first half better than the second, but that may because i took a break, then came back.

listened to it 4 times now.

really like it, definitely different from the s/t or demon days, but still a really enjoyable album.

On Melancholy Hill is beautiful.

I've had this album for a couple days now, must've listened to it 5 or 6 times, and I adore it. It's so amazing.
