#just kind of a bummer seeing ths cwrtoon band project turn into th Very thing it was criticizing at first.. !

[batz]

maybe its bc plastic beach's dramatics were not only like...more self aware ig of how silly it is but also it felt Earned kinda. like the 'story' built up to that at least? but now its like each album is this New Big Story where they go on wacky emotional nostalgia-bait adventures instead of just. being a cartoon band aand commenting on current celebrity culture or whwtever fhsjdhd

i just miss when the Lore(tm) was like. super mundane celebrity fare mixed with like. cartoon hijinks idk ..!

i think my problem with the current state of gorillaz is that its like. Too fanservice-y? like idk plastic beach was definitely like a Lot of fanservice a Lot of angst and melodrama but it was a Lot more bearable than whatevers happening during cracker island

but i still dont rlly know why i dislike the story to cracker island and song machine for the same reasons i Liked plastic beach :\
