What They Said

"Sprawling, daring, innovative, surprising, muddled and magnificent... not just one of the best albums of 2010 but... a new benchmark for collaborative music as a whole." - BBC
"An intoxicating cocktail of musical styles and pioneers... instantly recognisable as a Gorillaz album" - Clash
"The edifice of Plastic Beach has allowed Gorillaz to get away with making another guest-spotted album that never feels contrived. This is not just a project." - Drowned in Sound
"The tropical island where Gorillaz hang out is a "plastic beach" of industrial-waste products, so they recycle all the debris into shiny new toys. And that's the musical plan as well, mixing up bric-a-brac from around the world." - Rolling Stone
