Gorillaz-New Genius

[Thateabagking07]

this song would be alot better without that guy(not 2-d) saying jiz near the middle of the song.

[ASVHI]

I personally liked Gorillaz a lot better when they were just an animated band of outcasts who lived in a haunted recording studio and made kickass music.

[runlikehell55]

drugs, sex and gorillaz. oh wait................ gorillaz are the drugs

[Triforce505]

Perfect cure for a hangover... -_-

[TheNewMightyChalaza]

Gorillaz is my medicine! I used to always have stress and anxiety problems before I listened to them. But ever since I started listening to this album, I've become a lot more relaxed and chill. I love this band!

[Kmcmon88]

@TheNewMightyChalaza thats awesome man, music is the best drug. I have anxiety problems too so I know where youre coming from :)

[beanodonnell]

@TheNewMightyChalaza u should look more into musical therapy its been proven to improve ur mental state

[ForForm]

@TheNewMightyChalaza Maybe that's why I can't experience stress... I used to listen to his front to back at least 5 times a day for 6 months when I was about 12 years old. I've become too laidback because of it :O Fuck it, I like it xD

[Grimm124]

As an older brother, I want my little siblings to live by that fucking chorus. The world is a darker place than they will realize for a long long time.

[RSRatornra]

why the fuck is jeffree star in my related videos? DA FUCK OUTTA HERE

[exposivo18]

@rachel25lee  the album had the warning because Clint Eastwood has the f word in it a couple times, that's all really

[rachel25lee]

What the hell is the parental adivsory warning about? O.o What the hell would they bleep out??

[tkbaker420]

So good to chill to



[lick9152]

i swear i heard the oooh ooh ooh part in world at war

[27joeladame]

Tell me why this song makes me feel like a fucking Ninja

[Lopez01ism]

This is (in my opinion) an underrated song. Great song!

[ninphous]

someone needs to make a dubstep remix of this

[CocoWhy]

the beginning of the song always scares me xD

[Achu1995]

When I hear this song I feel like I'm watching the rain through the window... so peacefully

[hahu246]

Hehe "geep"

[FuNsIzEd467]

oh yea.....geep

[FuNsIzEd467]

lol my mom said her yoga teacher person played this song at her meeting thingy

[prejubb]

my soul is soo relaxed right now. Thank you gorillaz <3 peace from norway

[XxxEpicman3456xxX]

nice violen

[iamsosoaweome]

i was listening to this with headphones and the beginning was like BOOM! and I got so scared, great song though

[2Dswife459]

@iamsosoaweome that happens to me in the car XDDD

[PajamaHive]

This album was my first "non-christian" album I convinced my parents to get me. Thumbs if it's the best Gorillaz album.

[GeoMcEvan]

@PajamaHive What on earth were your parents reservations!?

[GeoMcEvan]

@PajamaHive What on earth were your parents reservations... well you know other than the huge sticker on the cd :(...

[CheeBreezy]

10 people thought the river was NOT deep.

wankers :)

[eel4tetodeNos]

Someone knows why Gorillaz didn't play this song live yet?

[gian6992]

the very beggining sounds like radio heads song reckoner...i think this is a sign that gorillaz and radiohead should make an album together

[Da1UHideFrom]

I was in the 7th grade when this came out. I listen to the whole cd everyday for about two months.

[luke4djojo]

I like the double bass in the end of the song

[puertoricankitten83]

this fucking song is awsome

[CocoWhy]

late*

[CocoWhy]

i wish i knew gorillaz sooner

born too soon and not enough connections.

;_;

[054khj2911]

this band isn't a new genius it's a old ;) but a true genius :D

[LexyAAA]

I remember this album when I was like in the 2nd damn grade I'm in the 11th now. Love the gorillaz!!

[ILOVEWAFFLEWATCH]

actually it's called new genious (brother

[nosegod18]

awesome song !!!!

this music is not for sell but for listening !!!!

( sorry bad English... I know u.u)

[otis547checkmeout]

playlist of its own so it replays over and over

[DangBetch]

@otis547checkmeout lmfao!

[xboxlivecise88]

its funny how i havent heard there songs in a long time but i still the beat of the song

[otis547checkmeout]

Playlist of its own....

[otis547checkmeout]

this song has a playlist of its own <3

[meshuggah6pantera]

I also remember getting this album. i had my dad buy it for me. i will never forget it because that day was 9/11. i still have this album, im 19 now, and its still one f my faves along with alice in chains and pantera etc+

[kwizz321]

@hindusound actually russel is a another real person

[TheObscureMind]

@hindusound Well the guy wants to experiment, sue him. Not to say I don't entirely disagree with you, my imagery of the band has faded since Plastic Beach, especially considering the creators decided showing their faces was a good idea. Anyway they've always been pretty versatile with the music, these days it's more electronic. It's not like real life bands haven't gone electronic.

[TheObscureMind]

@hindusound ? they were never a true band to begin with, it was always one guy and it was always a versatile music project.

[foreverstar1995]

@hindusound but this song still belongs to the old gorillaz

[Ilovefriesians]

I just love how Damon's falsetto fizzles a bit at around 2:10 <3

This song is pure win.

[TheObscureMind]

@hindusound What exactly are their roots?

[kwizz321]

@hindusound They change the style of their music every album...the 1st album was on Russel's style, Demon Days was Noodle, Plastic Beach was Murdoc, The Fall is 2D...I don't know if they will repeat the cycle,but each album has its strong, unique points that the others don't have.

Gorillaz: nice, complex rap beats that aren't plain in any way

Demon Days: uses a variety of sounds to create unexpected music like All Alone

Plastic Beach: has melodic, original tunes

The Fall: it was on a dam iPad!

[SonemonV2]

@kwizz321 I disagree, I think Demon Days was Murdoc's style and Plastic Beach was Noodle's style.

[thexlonelyxzombieZ]

@SonemonV2 dude.... demon days was all noodle she said she made it too in "rise of the ogre" o.e plastic beach was murdocs

[SonemonV2]

@thexlonelyxzombieZ K then.

[MyNameIsCircuit]

@thexlonelyxzombieZ: To be fair, A good portion of the book was rubbish. Extremely entertaining Rubbish, but it just isn't a reliable source of information about the real band members and their creative process. Unfortunately, It's hard to find such sources.

[MrLlkon]

@SonemonV2 Murdoc is the one who freaking led himself, 2-d and Noodle* to Plastic beach. And demon days was noodle except for O Green World and El Manana.

[kwizz321]

@SonemonV2 yah tru it depends on how you view their "personalities"

[JoshLuke864]

@kwizz321 hope the cycle resets. fist album was a new kinda genius

[kwizz321]

@kwizz321 o snapz do g i posted this five months ago....i didn't even know i got this many likes!!!!!! If u guys liked it so much maybe i should start uploading stuff...LIKE HOLY CRap I never GOT LIKES LIKe tHIS BeforE...i fthe caps annoyed you your welcome

[CoolConejo]

@kwizz321 and so the voting down and spam begins.

[nocturne811]

@kwizz321 Seriously..? Besides a bit of backstory (Russel's possession), none of that make's any sense.. The Gorillaz first concept album was Demon Days, and even then the songs' styles vary greatly. Personally, I can attribute songs like Stylo to the character of Murdoc (rough, grimy style; slick bass), or 19-2000 or Melancholy Hill to Noodle for the bright uplifting tones, or songs like Clint Eastwood or Dirty Harry to 2D for the downright funkiness.. But Ive never noticed any album trends..

[rhcphallofame]

@kwizz321 i sence alot of murdoc in "gorillaz" and "demon Days" and "plastic beach" but not "the fall"

[Sicpupyz122]

@rhcphallofame Part 1. Murdoc said in an interview that each of the members had there own "piece." Gorillaz was written by 2D and Murdoc, but Russel had a big part with the hip hop and reggae feeling to it, so Murdoc called it Russels. Demon days was written primarily by Noodle, as she was the only one in Kong studios for months before they all came back. It was "her vision."

[Sicpupyz122]

@rhcphallofame Part 2. Murdoc wrote almost all of Plastic Beach, because 2D and him were the only ones there, and 2D was held hostage. So this one was mostly Murdocs masterpiece. The latest one, The Fall, was form 2D. 2D said that he made this album from his iPad with different apps. He describes it as a road trip of America. The Fall was all 2D, none of Murdoc. I don't even think Murdoc knew about the album until it released under the Gorillaz name. I think he said this in an XFM radio thing.

[rhcphallofame]

@Sicpupyz122 tnx i knew some of tht stuff but thanks for filling in some of the details (I would know more but im not to far into "Rise of the Ogre yet"

[oliball123]

@kwizz321 and still sounded awesome like hell

amarillo tuched me

[catsmusic101]

Gorillaz are new to me but I love them now! XD

[flyingpiggyprincess]

i can play this song on guitar XD :D

[DoctorRainbow8321]

@flyingpiggyprincess Congrats, nobody cares. Yaaayh

[eric1988ism]

my 1rst tape was bto an def lepard, my 1rst cd hate to say was wallflowers but this was like 15 years ago

[RanKandiez505]

this song is toooo sexy!!!!!

[reknae]

For some reason this reminds me of mr. softy's balloon race...O.o

[xzombersx]

does anyone else think that it says "brother sister two do you hear my stew?"

[crashtester123]

@xzombersx brother sister too, do what you must do

[pampaton1]

is the title the name of the song or describing gorillaz as a band? or both? YES!

[datkid56]

@pampaton1 There is A deep Meaning in This song. Find it.

[pfenno]

This is THE Gorillaz song in my book(s).

[powerpuffMC]

mf DOOM!

[Lego2dTitan]

My first album was Demon Days, but all my good memories are with this album. And its kick-karapuss dub counterpart.

[ParagonCookie]

@Lego2dTitan whats the dub counterpart called?

[Lego2dTitan]

@ParagonCookie Mutant Genius

[RikoTakahashi]

One of my favs =_= Still.

[gltichydethklok]

My first album too! I was in third grade at the time and thought the cartoon guys looked cool. Changed my 9 year old life forever.

[YourHomieHenry]

i diggs.

[Squishlemonking2]

8 people have a low iq

[CommanderZylo]

When I listened to this song I heard the dog barking outside, and I thought for a few seconds that it was part of the song, but then I realized it was the dog and I went to shush him up. But it gave me the idea, that Gorillaz should make a song that sounds sort of like a back alley, bustling city kinda song. Like with cars makings sounds and dogs barking.

[raglfragloo]

@CommanderZylo were you stoned?

[CommanderZylo]

@raglfragloo Hmmm. No, not at the time XD

[1ui55]

news just in theres a virus rampaging america called biebernidus or known as bieber fever but dont worry scientist found a cure listening to GORILLAZ XD no more of this bieber shit

[newgenious]

This is my favorite song...ever...I'm sure you can tell.

[CrazyGrunt2]

Gorillaz are the only band I'll actually pay for an album

[1TheREALLYREAL]

YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

[eel4tetodeNos]

Love the melodica from 1:31 ...

[YROCKLINGER]

My friend says he is a gorillaz fan but he hates this song. I honestly think that you HAVE TO LIKE THIS SONG to call oyurself a gorillaz fan, i mean, its sooo good. What doesnt he like about it? Damons vocals? What the hell is that saying? THe melodica is amazing and i love the drums...I just can't believe he doesnt like it. i'm sorry but if you dont like this then something is wrong in yo head and u=ya nedd to get it checked.

[Charon2384]

8 people are new idiots.

[datkid56]

@Charon2384 people are entitled to there opinion I was litterly looking for someone to pick on for that...

so do the world a favor and stfu!

[TheSoggyStick]

Can anyone give me the enitre lyrics? I want to learn them but sometimes I think I mishear. And online there's two different versions of the lyrics...one of them's incorrect and I'm not sure which one. Plus they also don't have what he sings in the back during the chorus and such. x-x

I love this song and I love the Gorillaz <3 ._. Just last night I had a dream I was going to see them in concert. I wish! T-T

[angryslug1]

the guitar in the background just makes the song that much better...

[asthenia166]

Man every other house party I go to they bump some Hip-Pop industry shit or some pop music. Man they gotta bump the classics that's I roll when I roll lol

[cesar8888]

8 people would like to be a new genius

[PhantomAlxa99]

What's the meaning of this song?

[Necrypt]

@PhantomAlxa99 Not sure, could be about learning to be careful about who you trust in, therefore becoming a genius. You know, "brother, sister too, do what you must do, dont trust people you meet, they may promise you that the river ain't deep".

[PhantomAlxa99]

Can somebody help with this? I'm planning on buying an album, but I don't know which one I should get, so which one is better? D-Sides or G-Sides?

[karma756231]

@PhantomAlxa99 in my opinion id say d sides

[mcbad12]

@PhantomAlxa99 Good one. But I would have to go with D-side just because the song Hong Kong sounds so beautiful. But my all time fav is the album "Gorillaz", Then it "Demon Days"

[slums77]

no one understands that i'm a genius....

[TheyCallMeMoney420]

@slums77 are u a janitor that works at a college and sometimes u see a very complex math problem on the board and u go and solve it?

[robertbils]

i wanna see the the gorillaz and the monkeys fight.

[CROWMAN47]

"Brother, sister too, do what you must do, don't trust people you meet... They might promise you, that the river aint deep" this song reminds me not to trust chicks... I'm tellin ya they're scandalous...

[Gorillazfan98]

i remember when i was 3 i herd this song on the raido and forced my brother to buy me the cd and ever since, ive been a HUGE gorillaz fan :)

[Jaems1006]

@Gorillazfan98 same story here. Except!!! When i was 3, I heard Dare in a commercial and begged my dad over and over again to buy me the song on itunes. And since, I NEVER forgot about Gorillaz. In fact, I'm obsessed with them, and Damon's voice! *nosebleed*

[frieze420]

parental advisory???? theres no bad words in this song

[animeobsessed777]

rediscovering this band. dude, why the hell did i ever quite listening to these guys. i love them

[PhantomAlxa99]

8 people aren't the new genious.

[ScaryMonstahh]

Does anyone know why they spelled it Genius? Don't get me wrong I love the song, I just am wondering.

[legendkillermike]

@ScaryMonstahh

Eh? G-E-N-I-U-S is how the word genius is spelled.

[ScaryMonstahh]

@legendkillermike No, it's spelled Genious, that's how it's spelled on the album too.

[legendkillermike]

@ScaryMonstahh The English word which means "Extraordinary intellectual and creative power" is spelled as genius. "Genious" is the common misspelling of the word. You are correct about the album being spelled as Genious which to my guess is Damon's way of sarcasm.

[ScaryMonstahh]

@legendkillermike Ah, I see. Thank you, I learned something new today.

[TourettesSomething]

@legendkillermike Or... maybe "genious" is how its spelled here in Britain? Ever think of that?

[Slig77]

This was the first album I ever bought, and it changed my life. In 2001, at about the age of 11, I realized that not all newer music sounded like shitty Nickelback butt-rock, Brittany Spears diva-pop or 50-Cent poser-thug rap. I loved how every song on this album had it's own unique sound and style. Gorillaz 1st album was like a gateway drug into the world of Indie.

[ShowMeTheLoot]

@Slig77 Please don't.

[C00Lcat69]

@ShowMeTheLoot right on

[ChickenNggetMan]

@Slig77 spoken from one of the very many few true fans out there, i agree with u there brother

[Jannto]

@Slig77 Gorillaz isn't indie.

[ThisISHappanin]

@Jannto thank you! I was like....no...I can understand it being a gateway drug to Alternative and some Hip-Hop but it's not indie this album sold like 10 million world wide or something

[Pixelrelated]

@Jannto He said "like" saying that it is similar to indie. Indie generally means unique or different because most indie music is or even games.

[Jannto]

@Pixelrelated Indie means independent. As in unsigned to a label.

Nice job

[Pixelrelated]

@Jannto That's what I said... He said this is "Like" indie music and being "like" indie music means generally being unique. Indie means independent, but generally Indie music is unique or otherwise it wouldn't survive.

[Jannto]

@Pixelrelated Indie music is anything unsigned. You could say I make indie music. My music isn't very unique

[Pixelrelated]

@Jannto I guess you could say that, but generally indie music is unique or even indie games. Indie games are successful because they are unique, and indie bands generally only make money because they are unique such as Cut Copy or The Presets.

[Jannto]

@Pixelrelated Righto

[FriedChickenofDeath6]

@Jannto Then you be independent., not indie. Most people think both terms mean the same, but they don't.

[Jannto]

@FriedChickenofDeath6 Here's a quote from wikipedia

"Indie is a shortform of "independence" or "independent" "

[FriedChickenofDeath6]

@Jannto I know, but that only explains the origins of the word. Indie became a new culture, a new style, a new underground scene, not just an abreviation of the word "independent".

[Jannto]

@FriedChickenofDeath6 i do see your point, and i SORT OF agree.

But as for the original arguement, I still dont think gorrillaz is indie

[FriedChickenofDeath6]

@Jannto No, they certainly aren't.

[Foxata16]

@Jannto It is.. actually it's labelled to EMI lol

[Jannto]

@Foxata16 Yes, I know that.

I was replying to someone

[Foxata16]

@Jannto oh lol, just read it thru it. haha. lol.

[MsTunabob]

@Slig77 the gorillaz has this way of making me feel special, and I think if everyone looks hard enough, they all can find a song that touches them. Love them!

[x3lldanierallsanllx3]

@Slig77 i can totally relate with what your saying... when i saw clint eastwood on tv for the first time, i liked it soo badly that i asked for my 7th birthday this album... i'm glad i did... i'm 18 now, i have all three albums and i think this song is one of the best they ever made...and it made me realize that i didn't need to like what the others did, i could be true to myself and say "hey, i like this; this is way awesomer and deeper that whatever your listening right now".REJECT FALSE ICONS

[wafflekitty11]

@Slig77 totally agree!!!

[Str8upWizardCJ]

@Slig77 Same shit bro, I was was fuckin 10

[MeganDesiree420]

@Slig77 check out Aesop Rock man.

[rva1990]

@Slig77 Same here. 1st album I bought, and it's fucking amazing, every song is fucking amazing. Just rediscovered Gorillaz today. I don't know how I ever forget about them. Fucking stupid on my part.

[iizpoefi]

@rva1990 Good thing you rediscovered them again.

[zegh8578]

@Slig77 unusual first cd's = best ;D my first casette, when i was 5 or 6, was Chris Rea :D

[JDALIVETUBE]

@Slig77 tooooonami brooo

[CFFDan]

@Slig77 the same happened to me, i now consider you a brother of mine. ;_;

[juanpiskate00]

@Slig77 I liked your comment but 50 cent is sure as hell no poser, not that I like him or anything but I read his book.

[EraSeGraff]

6 people, has never seen a gorrila in real life.

[Dragon45348]

@EraSeGraff Or 1 person hasn't seen 6 gorillas... think about that one.

[PerWup]

Lol:P it's just a joke

[DominoKiddo]

[eboy1016]
