Gorillaz iPad album, called The Fall, out now

As promised, the new Gorillaz album showed up online over Christmas, and it's available for download right now. The album is called The Fall, and you can listen to one of the 15 tracks, called "Phoner to Arizona," embedded after the break. The whole record was made completely with an iPad, and CNN has a list of apps used to make the album, including Amplitube, Mugician (written by a TUAW commenter), and Moog's Filtatron, among quite a few others.

I just gave "Phoner to Arizona" a listen, and it's ... weird. Weirder than I thought -- the Gorillaz are already pretty trippy, but this seems much more like an experiment than an actual album. Still, it's worth a listen, and it's an impressive feat to build a whole album using just Apple's iPad. Again, you can hear it for free on the Gorillaz' website, or join their fan club to download it yourself.

it is free. Free to stream if you subscribe to their newsletter, but still free.

More like it's free*.


*Will not work like ANY other music you have, in that you get to play it offline, on your regular non-networked stereo, etc.

$45 to join the fanclub and download? Wow, most expensive album ever!

The primary bummer is that they led the public to believe the download would be free.

Turns out it's $45 (price of fan club membership), which is not only NOT free, it's very expensive.

I really enjoyed this CD, I hated Plastic Beach, but liked everything before that. This album brings them back to making good music.

"the Gorillaz are already pretty trippy, but this seems much more like an experiment than an actual album. Still, it's worth a listen, "

So negative and opinionated...

Just because you don't get it, doesn't mean no one else will.

It's very clear where the line is drawn between bloggers and journalists.

Calm yourself...

He never explicitly said is was of poor value.

I consider "trippy" and "experimental" to be compliments, anyways.

Phoner to Arizona is sort of an intro track to the album. Listen to some of the tracks that actually have lyrics and you'll totally realize that it sounds just like The Gorillaz, in a good way. I love Revolving Doors, Booby In Phoenix, and Little Plastic Bags.
