Demon Days

I got this a while ago and it still works and looks like new , it came with no scratches and came in packaging that kept it safe

Purchased on vinyl from Reflexcd, played on a Sony LX310. Plenty of bad reviews for the vinyl edition, and out the packet the discs were both very dirty (photos attached before/after). Would recommend a thorough clean before use to avoid any long-term damage. Needle still picked up a lot of dust from the first play so certainly engrained!However all sides now play consistently with no skips or issues.

Not a single scratch. Varied moods of songs, rappers who actually CAN rap, good rhythm and a hefty heap of nostalgia.

I had the CD when it was first released.My 14 year old requested it on vinyl and it's as good as ever.

Damon Albarn might be responsible for some of the tackiest manoeuvres in pop (Country House, anyone?) but his side project now threatens to overshadow his day job. Credit where credit is due. 'Mali Music' and 'Think Tank' showed that whether in Blur, or not, Albarn is a very creative, original and inventive force, not content in relying on past sounds or approaches. Of course, '2D' (Albarn's alter-ego) is joined by 3 other protagonists - Murdoc, Russel and Noddle - who we know only through cartoon characterisations. Hiding behind Jamie Hewlett's animations gives the project such attractive possibilities. Certainly their videos, though dark, are a lot of fun to watch.'Demon Days' is constistently good, without ever reaching the heights of the debut 'Gorillaz'. It's relaxing in places (Every Plant We Reach Is Dead), childlike (Kids With Guns, Dirty Harry), or out-doing Morcheeba (November has Come).Superb single, 'Feel Good Inc.' recently became the first recording to enter the singles chart without actually being officially released, thanks to guerilla tactics of sending out 300 vinyl copies to shops. Its the rhythmic son of "Hey Ya", featuring laughter and the best use of the word 'windmills' since Noel Harrison.The album is produced by 'Danger Mouse', best known for 2004's illegal mash of Beatles and Jay-Z, the 'Grey Album'. Guests include Roots Manuva on the brilliantly schizophrenic 'All Alone', Shaun Ryder on the monotonous, but perversely intersting, 'DARE' and Dennis Hopper doing an odd 'Sunscreen' eco-rambling in the otherwise brilliantly titled 'Fire Coming Out Of A Monkey's Head'. Albarn has used dour monologues before, previously using Ken Livingstone ('Ernold Same' on 'The Great Escape').The most striking tune, however, is the simple Beach Boys/Polyphonic Spree-lite of 'Don't Get Lost In Heaven', which is typical of Albarn's experimental attitude.Despite the rumours, the reunion with Graham Coxon looks more unlikely than ever before.Investigate!

There are very few bands that can produce an album I'll listen to from start to finish even once without getting bored of the particular 'sound' of that band, not to mind one I can listen to on repeat and still love, but this is one such album. The Gorillaz have put more musical variety in one album than many bands manage in their whole careers. Also if you like rap sections from the Gorillaz' music, I strongly recommend the Deltron 3030 album since it's the same rapper.

Shake your prity little head like Silly if you've not got a copy by now. This was and still is the center peace of Cool, though 2005 was the year it came out. it may be that a good chunk of these songs will go to it final collections, but it to good not to leson to the rest. A wonderful blend of Manga music in the way we brits want it. The one that made The Gorillaz a house hold name.
