Amazon.co.uk Review
Drop an anvil at the recording of Demon Days, the celeb-packed second album from Gorillaz – the Technicolor front for Blur's Damon Albarn, producer Dan the Automator, artist Jamie Hewlett, and rapper Del Tha Funky Homosapien – and you'd probably have crushed a half-dozen B-list musicians, a couple of style icons, and the odd Hollywood star besides. Given that it's been co-produced by Dangermouse, creator of copyright-flaunting hip-hop epic The Grey Album, you'd be right to suspect many of these are rappers: Daisy Age legends De La Soul add zing to the tweaked disco-hop of "Feel Good Inc", while Roots Manuva adds a touch of brooding introspection to the juddering "All Alone". But there's some strange surprises, too: a cameo from Dennis Hopper, whose monologue on "Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head" is an eerie highlight; ex-Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder, who rambles along enjoyably on "DARE" – even though he never gets much further than announcing the song's title; or the welcome return of Neneh Cherry, who joins Albarn in song with a snatch of Salt N Pepa's "Push It" on the menacing "Kids with Guns". A dark return from these dedicated culture vultures, but thankfully, not at the expense of their cartoonish pop presence. --Louis Pattison

Customer Reviews

Prog Pop at its Best
This is a wonderful journey of an album. Dare I say it is a concept album? It can take a few listens to get past the wonderful singles but there are bits here that remind me of 'Spiritualized' or maybe Eels, both of which I love.Throw in the rap/dance and Gospel choir and this is destined to be a classic

Another original Gorillaz recording, loving every tune and beat from the first to last song. The only slightly disappointing track for me is White Light.

However its not terrible and I have many other albums from other artists with more than a fare share of iffy tracks. Go buy it listen to it twice and you wont get them songs out your head. Terrific stuff.

Solid album which holds up better to repeated playings than it's predecessor.
Cool album especially at this price, less throw-away than their debut which is good pop but to these old ears became a bit tiresome after repeated listens. Great guests vocals by Shaun Ryder and particularly Dennis Hopper on the great "Fire Coming Out of a Monkey's Head". Is there any bad song's with Monkey in the title? I have yet to hear one.
