New Gorillaz

[Uszi]

Hey, have you guys seen the new Gorillaz music video, featuring BRUCE WILLIS?

Personally, I thought it was tight.

They also have an adventure game on their website promoting the new album... Yeah, pretty funny too.

What ya'll think?

How about this for a slightly different discussion vein:
They released a lot of promotional video shorts for the album, what do you guys think of these?

That this thread was done yesterday.. sorry dude

However... I love the video and don't like the song

 

[Arisato-kun]

It was a decent song. I'm more excited to see what else is on their new album.

The animation style change in the video bugged me too. Hope this doesn't mean that 2D Gorillaz are gone forever.

Embedded video does not work.
I used to liek the Gorrialz, btu i dont liek that song at all. As for the video.. its creepy as fuck! but! Its got Brucie in so its goood

 

[Sonicron]

... Holy shit! They're back?? Last I heard that project was officially terminated, not merely put on hold. I need to check this out...! *vroom*

Damn... Double fail.

 

[wooty]

The videos pretty damn cool, I feel the addition of Hollywoods Ross Kemp is a great thing to have in any project.

Not too sure about the actual song though, it lacked the catchyness of some of their older work for me

On the bright side, i'm having fun on that game

Finally dug up a vid that works in my country.

A quick question: Am I the only one who thinks the creauture that makes the fat cop disappear in its cloak looks suspiciously like Morpheus/Dream from Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" graphic novels?

Anyway, both the song and the video are weird, but that's what I've come to expect from Gorillaz, and I still like it. Hooray!

Nah, I added some of the promotional videos to my first post.
Three of them are "character indents," which look like explanations for how they got on Plastic Beach to begin with. These are more standard Gorillaz animation.

 

[Hutchy_Bear]

Holy Fuck! That's a big ass change from the Gorrilaz I remember and Bruce Willis aswell! I liked the new look and thought the video was a great promotional feature. Makes me curious if that death/shadow will feature in more videos, kinda a running theme.

 

[Uszi]

So someone already remixed it?

 

[mip0]

I can't watch that (EMI) and I don't think anyone else in Sweden can. But you can solve that with proxy, right? I'd be very glad if someone could help me with that, making me look like I'm in the U.S.A. or somewhere else where it works.

 

[Uszi]

Aye the game is quite awesome! The birds rock

Totally hilarious...
"Have you tried Sharting?"
"It's probably part of some mind numbing online mission game."
"You're sat there talking to me. Whereas I, I'm sat here talking to you. Now that isn't a fair deal, is it?"

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Ah very well done Gorillaz i enjoyed it quite thoroughly

 

[khululy]

I like the song it's a nice laid back driving tune or something I am curious about the rest of the album.
