Have you actually listened to this band and to Gorillaz? There's really no comparison: velvet sundown is just boring - there's nothing there, there. There's no interesting motifs or story telling, no memorable riffs or solos, no surprising structure.
> and apparently people like it.
That remains to be seen. The early plays were bought to get the recommendations. (Tens of thousands of plays, but all within ~100 of each other for the less popular tracks) We really don't know how many people listened to this yet.
- Supermancho 1y ago> Have you actually listened to this band and to Gorillaz? There's really no comparison The comparison is that they are both fictional bands. The received popularity of the music is irrelevant. Did you not understand the point of the GP?
- dmamills 1y agoThe Gorillaz are actually real people though? You do realize The Archies didn't write "Sugar, Sugar"?
- viraptor 1y agoGorillaz is not a fictional band. Having cartoon characters doesn't make it fictional. We know who their creators are. Neither does Daft Punk become fictional when they put on the helmets. (No, I didn't get what comparison was being made. It's so different I didn't realise anyone would do that)
- Supermancho 1y agoWhat you consider fictional and anyone else considers fictional doesn't have to align. The point was clear, when interpreted in good faith. I understand you disagree, but that doesn't change what I think about the nature of persona.
