>>92461718Plastic Beach has some of the best songs of the discography but it definitely needed a producer to sort shit out as there are a bunch of questionable guest choices and unnecessary tracks
The Fall is pretty much a demo collection sold as an album, as Damon made the entire thing during the American leg of the PB tour. It has some good tracks but almost all of the tracks needed more work on them
Humanz is a "playlist" for the end of the world, a more upbeat and party-like album. It has some very good songs but the party like vibe and the more politically charged lyrics (like DD) are a topic of controversy. What everyone agrees on is while Damon appears on 11 of the 14 non interlude tracks, he needed to sing lead more.
All of them should be checked out if you are really interested
Regarding the characters, they still are unique. Russel and Noodle don't appear that much in phase 3 but have a bigger presence in phase 4.
The story is another issue. ROTG is really fun and should be checked out as it covers the bands origins and story up until phase 2. They really wanted to do something grand for Phase 3 but their parent label was dying and cut the budget for it halfway through. This ultimately led to the irl band breaking up after the converse collaboration. Phase 4 basically re-wrote the entire ending of Phase 3, along with having a new writer on board
