Here's what I think of Plastic Beach after hearing it 2x. Don't like it.

i don't like it either, and I loved demon days. everything sounds so safe.

Interesting take. One reason that I find the album disappointing is that I think that Damon Albarn is a rare type of musician who impresses me more as time goes by. This time he didn't, though.
As for the guests: I can appreciate that they had a good time making the album but, to me, that's more proof that making music can be much more rewarding than listening to music that other people make. If Mos Def really thinks this is his best work or whatever he said then I disagree pretty strongly with him about his own music.
I don't hate the album and will probably listen to it more but so far it's headed for the recycle bin.

All of the reviews I've read of Plastic Beach seem to be saying its good but not as strong as the last two albums... this is a formula which can often result in fan disappointment...

I've only given Plastic Beach one listen, and didn't enjoy too much to be honest, ill give it another few goes at some point though.

Perhaps it's a grower... I'm vaguely intrigued by it, because for the first time, I don't feel like I have been bombarded with everything Gorillaz...

Ok, I'm most of the way through my second listen now, and I'm enjoying it much more this time around, maybe I'm just in a better state of mind for it this time around, who knows. But a the songs with Damons vocals on do just make me want to listen to Blur a lot of the time.

I miss having a Blur album out every couple of years... I wish they'd all bury the hatchet and hit the studio again...
