Gorillaz' The Fall is a full-length album recorded in a month, on an iPad, during the band's Escape To Plastic Beach Tour. If that sounds like a good 45 minutes to you, you might also dig this post. If you're unfamiliar with the Gorillaz, I'd recommend you lay down in the shade somewhere and listen to Plastic Beach instead. That's a good, um, seasonally appropriate activity. Released December 25th, 2010, The Fall managed to turn A New Gorillaz Album(!!!) into probably the lamest Christmas present ever. For real, on a scale of three ghosts to a Nintendo 64, this thing comes in at a new pair of Balenciaga Crocs. (So, at the bottom. Ew.) Maligned by fans, critics, and my dad alike, the Gorillaz' fourth studio album has been called a "gimmick", "oddly out of character", and "mid," relegating it to forgotten album status. OK so why am I recommending it? Moonrabbit Note: The album-themed posts on this blog are published in their entirety for free as Bonus Tracks on the Spotlight On Blog.
