Additional Information from Movie Mars. It is no great surprise that a group designed as a concept would eventually specialize in concept albums, so when Gorillaz abandoned the giddiness that fueled their 2001 debut in favor of dense dystopian dance-rock operas, it seemed logical and the transition was eased by Albarn’s cunning knack for sharp crossover singles. In this context, it is clear that the three singles pulled from Plastic Beach — “Stylo, ” “Superfast Jellyfish, ” “On Melancholy Hill” — didn’t reach the same heights as those from Gorillaz and Demon Days because they were cobbled by a certain dourness — a quality lacking from the singles from the similarly pessimistic Demon Days and from “Doncamatic” — yet they don’t offer a sour coda on this Singles Collection; instead, they indicate the complexity of this cartoon pop group, which means this compilation isn’t merely a good collection of hits, it’s a fine introduction to the multifaceted pleasures of Gorillaz. The Deluxe Edition contains a bonus DVD with the group’s videos (essential to the understanding of the group), a documentary called Charts of Darkness, two BRIT Award performances, and three trailers.
