The creators of Gorillaz, musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, began working on a new Gorillaz project in November 2007 called Carousel, [2] which evolved into Plastic Beach, the group's third studio album. [3] In the November 2007 issue of Q, when asked what his top priority for 2008 was, Damon Albarn replied "Well, I'm doing the next Gorillaz thing, but it won't be called Gorillaz." [2] In the February 2008 Gorillaz-Unofficial interview, Hewlett elaborated on this, saying "I think the idea behind it is that it's like how the Who presented their movies– Tommy and Quadrophenia and so on. Those were presented as by 'the Who' even though none of the members of the band were in the movies. I don't think anyone from the Who was in Quadrophenia. But it's the same people working on it, that's the principle." [4] In a July 2008 interview with The Observer he also said, "Gorillaz now to us is not like four animated characters any more– it's more like an organisation of people doing new projects ... That's my ideal model– Gorillaz is a group of people who gave you this, and now want to give you new stuff." [5]a b Empire, Kitty (7 March 2010). "Gorillaz: Plastic Beach". The Guardian .

Nice and quiet, heavy vinyl (I added "180g" to this release because, well, it is), plays nicely without any hiccups, sounds just great - I agree with others in that is has a very "clear" sound, also a bit "bouncier" compared to digital. Beautiful pressing, sounds great right out of the box, without needing to clean it a dozen times in an ultrasonic apparatus first. Sexton, Paul (18 March 2010).

The records are dead silent with absolutely no pops throughout, and sound absolutely wonderful with an outstanding soundstage. I couldn't help but notice the bass specifically - so incredibly pronounced yet not overpowering by any means, just perfect.
