I'll admit, I really only got into Gorillaz about a year ago when I bought their first album on a whim; ever since then, I've really been digging into everything Albarn and his collaborators have done. Whoever said the guy's a warlock is underselling him, if anything; he's practically a loving legend of music. Anyhow... It's definitely a hard call to make, given how awesome Demon Days and Plastic Beach are in their own rights, and how tonally different they are from each other. I mean, the first album was good, but it kinda felt like it just started meandering off into an unfocused state in the second half. And, well... I wouldn't say The Fall was bad, just... Not up to par with its' predecessors. What tips it over the edge for me, I think, are the "filler" songs. Plastic Beach's were all pretty smooth and easy to jam along to, but Demon Days was an entirely different beast, taking on a much more somber yet varied style. Plus, well, I'll admit to being a sucker for how smoothly the last few songs transition into each other; I kind of found it a shame that the titular track isn't anywhere near as famous as the singles.
