更新：正在听这张专辑。其中第三首HillBilly Man里竟然有中文Rap，把我吓了一跳。赶紧上传上来给大家听听。事实证明，这是个假档，详见这里

我们曾在之前的文章中提到过Damon Albarn正在用iPad制作一张新专辑，并打算用Gorillaz的名义争取在圣诞前夕免费发行。

这不，圣诞节到了，Gorillaz的官网专题页面如约发行了这张名为《The Fall》的新专辑。然而“免费”却并不完全。专辑的免费下载只针对Gorillaz的fanclub Sub-Division开放，而非会员则可以通过填写一张EMI的邮件表格进行在线试听。

Gorillaz官网在圣诞夜放出了这张专辑的先行单曲“Phoner to Arizona”的MV。

而在圣诞节则放出了整张专辑的专题页面。这张专辑被称作是Gorillaz巡演的原声音乐（the Gorillaz tour soundtrack）。因为里面所有的歌曲的大部分制作，基本都是Damon在10月的Gorillaz北美巡演期间，自己用iPad完成的。他把这当作是一种巡演的记录，而不是每天没有演出的时候只能发呆望着墙壁。官网还特地列出了每首歌的歌名和制作时间和地点，详情如下
