 Guardian Unlimited Arts | Arts critics | CD: Damon Albarn, Democrazy
It was difficult not to conclude that the reason fans completely ignored Albarn's excellent soundtrack to the 2000 Kevin Spacey film Ordinary Decent Criminal is because its composer made such a berk of himself when the cameras visited the recording sessions, throwing a ridiculous tantrum at a distinctly nonplussed-looking orchestra.

Some observers have suggested that reviewing Democrazy is unfair, as the music it contains was never intended to be heard by the wider world: the listener is being allowed to eavesdrop on Albarn at his most guileless.

  Damon Albarn - Democrazy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The really sad thing about ‘Democrazy’ is the fact that it really is the sound of a man running out of ideas; ‘Reedz’ is a single chord stretched out over a minute and a half, while ‘A Rappy Song’ features such cringe-inducing lyrics as “Correct me if I’m wrong/this is a rapping song”.
Damon himself puts it best on the last track, the imaginatively titled ‘End Of Democrazy’, as he sings in his cigarette affected croak: “This is the end of Democrazy/if you understand, I’ve been lazy/I’ve stayed up every night singing when I should be sleeping”.
Yes, Damon, you have been lazy not to finish most of the songs for the album, and yes, you should have been sleeping instead of troubling us with rubbish like this.
