Gorillaz: The Fall

Love them or hate them, the Gorillaz are HUGE, and have been for the last few years, for good reason. I personally love the image and the idea behind the band, as well as extensive fictional universe depicting a virtual band of animated characters. If you've never heard of them before, you must have been under a rock for the last 12 years. But the newest album, The Fall, is something I've been hyped for. For quite a while, actually. Because on a technical level, it's impressive. The whole album was produced on the Ipad. Hopefully proving that something like the Ipad can be used for something more than just playing games or checking Facebook when you aren't at home. It can actually be used to create an industry standard album, and this is why there is a large amount of hype behind it. And whilst in my opinion it isn't the greatest album by the band, the album still is impressive on a technical level, and a great piece of art, and The Fall succeeds in what it set out to do.

Fanclub members can download the album free, but anyone can stream the album, so why not give it a listen? You've got nothing to gain or lose, so check it out, stupid. It's free!
