Top 5 Most Menacing Gorillaz Tracks
1. Rockit
I’ve always seen Rockit as the confrontation of a final boss in a video game and fighting hoards of minions before facing the final boss. The video even represents this idea well when in the middle of it there’s one big creature that comes out of nowhere and is like the big baddy that the hoards of monsters a guarding. And, the last part of the song could be like the boss being defeated and exploding, like a boss in a modern Sonic The Hedgehog game.
2. Carnival (2D Special)
This track is one of my top five favorite Gorillaz tracks because of how menacing and creepy it sounds. Anthony Hamilton kills it with his vocals on this track, he sounds like he’s under some sort of spell and the instrumentals for this track are like the theme song to a horror movie trailer. 2D’s part is also really good and builds on the menacing factor, with those “we have to wake up” whispers and the drum rolls it sounds like he’s trying to break Anthony Hamilton out of this spell.
3. November Has Come
Okay now, MF DOOM feels like a villain to me on this track with the way that he’s rapping. He sounds like he’s trying keeping you from getting to a certain area and then it sounds like he references kids doing drugs with the lyric “juiced of a junk treat”. 2D’s vocals also sound very worrisome in this track with his lyrics “Something is starting today, where did he go?” and it feels like something bad is gonna happen.
4. Glitter Freeze
I love the way Mark E. Smith sounds on this track, he does a very menacing pirate character. I can see this song as being him giving orders to his pirate crew during a battle and the alternate version of this track really feels like a battle to me. And then the outro of the track feels like the battle has finished and the enemy team has been defeated, they did a great job on this track in my opinion.
5. M1A1
This track sounds like the theme song of a villain gang in like My Hero Academia and it sounds like these villains could be driving down the street about to rob a bank. The intro is also really cool with the sample at the beginning and it sounds like a showdown is about to begin. It also a lot of the the Dark Prince from Clash Royale for some reason because it feels like he would just being running around bashing enemies with this song playing in the background.
That’s all, I have nothing else to say…
