The world of Gorillaz is definitely fascinating. They may be digital, but their world is ever evolving, like when Murdoc spent some time in prison and the band replaced him with Ace from the Powerpuff Girls' Gangrene Gang. A lot of the music Gorillaz puts out isn't really "my taste," but I love the band itself.

Truly icons for how they have been able to do something unlike any other artist in music both visually and stylistically. For review recommendations, their well know songs Feel Good Inc, Stylo, or Dare. Lesser known songs: 19-2000, Plastic Beach, and Don't Get Lost in Heaven + Demon Days are all great songs in their own right.

I think he quite likes imagine dragons as well. Is there any music that Ren doesn't take something from

This was the first song I’ve tried to sing/ rap the lyrics too and got down pretty good. Love this song! Also love your reaction!!

I just happened to stumble onto your channel because of your reactions to Bo Burnham and I'm so happy I did. Your music isn't what I would consider my usual genre, I'm mostly a prog rock kinda person (my favorite bands are Rush, SOAD, and Twenty One Pilots) but I'm willing to give anything a chance and you are so talented. I also love how thoughtful your lyrics are and how passionate you are about creating great art. Love you man

"Sunshine in a Bag" is a reference/talking about Weed...and Clint Eastwood was a strain back in the early 2000's

You're a legit reactor. You've got multiple angles on everything you listen to. Respect.

The entire beat and tune are setting 'rock 1' on a 808, seriously. Damon Alban is another genius.

This was my intro to Del back in the day. I went on a ravenous hunt for all things Del after that. lol

Best frigging reaction to this song ever. I absolutely loved how you interpreted the whole lyrics from your writing skills 🦍

I am constantly surprised by how quickly you pick up on the undertones and abstract ideas in the music I love. Keep killing it man you're awesome.

It's almost like he might do some research and it's not really his first time listening...😮

No lie, I bought Gorillaz first album back in the day, and listened start to finish. I've never done drugs in my life, but that album felt like an acid trip!!

Wow..wow..wow that's why i love this channel i get to learn so much! Especially in rap..this song i don't really know what is the meaning of it..but now i know thank u Knox for explaining it.😊👌👌

First vid I've watched of yours.... Great breakdown of the potential meaning(s) of "sunshine in a bag" and of the 'villains'/'undead' that we fight daily.... Odd that you noticed 2-D's shirt said "virus" but missed that it was in a big red 'T' (think "Resident Evil"!!)-- may be back to see what you dissect in future... Blessed Be, & Peace! 🙏☮
