But the next Gorillaz album, I don't know if you could really classify it as that." I really think this should be taken off the studio albums list and template as it would wrongly mislead people to think this is the fourth Gorillaz album, - Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.58.177.164 ( talk) 02:04, 6 July 2011 (UTC) Reply Merger proposal But in the conventional sense of a big commercial release, no, it's just a piece of music, it just continues a process, it keeps things interesting, and you know, for me, I discovered the iPad, fell in love with it, and made a record using it pretty much exclusively. And yes it's a diary of a journey, a sort of sonic journey around America. And I started at the beginning and ended a month later. Rocker10000 ( talk) 21:31, 27 April 2011 (UTC) Reply Damon Albarn said himself it is not the fourth Gorillaz album: "Well it's not the next Gorillaz album, I wrote a diary, I used my time on the tour in America to make music every day. I personally say keep it as a studio album. While the album was recorded on tour, none of the tracks on The Fall were live recordings. So can we get a consensus and make sure the "hidden" comment is as we want it - is it a Live album or a Studio album? - Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 20:40, 19 April 2011 (UTC) Reply Seems it's been added again - I'm happy to leave it there and see what people think - Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 22:03, 19 April 2011 (UTC) Reply It is definitely not a live album. There is some discussion above, but it is inconclusive. The content was recorded on tour, but it looks like it has had studio work done on it, and Gorillaz discography lists it as a Studio album. People have added The Fall to the Studio albums section several times, despite there being a comment specifically asking us not to, so I've removed it again. Mlillybaltimore ( talk) 02:54, 17 September 2011 (UTC) Reply Edit request from Natiscoo32, 11 April 2011 If alternative rock is to be included, there needs to be at least one reliable source describing the band as such. The current list ignores the large influence of electronic music on the Gorillaz, and should be modified to, as you said, "give readers an idea of what the music sounds like as a whole". This will not only give readers the (correct) impression that Gorillaz make extensive use of electronic instrumentation, but will also more accurately summarize their sound. Given the band's trend towards more electronically influenced music and their extensive use of electronic instrumentation on all of their albums, adding the nonspecific genre Electronica to the list seems appropriate. In fact, their most recent album's entry explicitly lists electronica as one of its genres. Rather, the band's more recent albums have been increasingly classifiable as electronica. While in general the heading should be succinct, and while I would agree with the above post if their electronica songs were distributed sparingly across all of their albums, they are not. Friginator ( talk) 18:21, 3 April 2011 (UTC) Reply I vehemently disagree. We can list them in the article itself, but the infobox shouldn't have more than a couple general terms to give readers an idea of what the music sounds like as a whole. We can't just add every genre that the songs have ever fallen under. The point of the infobox parameter is to keep it simple. That was part of why the article was protected-everyone wants to add there own genre. There's no point in opening this up to more genre-warring. contribs) 17:58, 3 April 2011 (UTC) Reply This has been discussed over and over and over again.Preceding unsigned comment added by Blt33 ( talk This is, of course, an extreme example as "The Fall" is the Gorillaz fourth studio album and their music has always had ample electronic elements. On the genre page heavy metal should still be listed.

If you are thinking that because most of these songs are on "The Fall" that they shouldn't be listed under electronica consider this a folk band puts out five very obviously folk albums then releases one heavy metal album. I challenge you to really listen to these songs then look up the definition of electronica. This was just a quick list as I am sure there are more. Here is a list of songs that should not be listed under alternative hip-hop or alternative rock and would be best listed under the rather ambiguous umbrella genre of electronica. I feel that this should be added as their newest album, "The Fall", was made primarily using synthesizers and drum machines not to mention that songs on their "Plastic Beach" album were also made using both synthesizers and drum machines. I recently made an edit adding electronica as a genre which was quickly removed.
