	Gorillaz (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gorillaz is the self-titled debut album by Gorillaz, the virtual group masterminded by Blur frontman Damon Albarn and was first released in March 2001 (see 2001 in British music).
		The album is an Enhanced CD that includes a short movie and access to Murdoc's Winnebago via a download at murdocswinnebago.com, which is now acessible by just going on the Kong Studios online tour.
		The album was released in various countries in 2001.

	Gorillaz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gorillaz is a virtual band, comprised of four fictional animated band members: 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel.
		In the winter of 1999 Murdoc acquired the property of Kong Studios, a sprawling haunted studio with a rather shady history, situated atop a hill in the midst of a run-down cemetery and landfill in Districtshire, Essex.
		The visual element of the evenings was provided by Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett and displayed on screens on the stage, and the artists performed in front of the screens, with Damon Albarn in silhouette form for most of the concert (unlike previous concerts, where the musicians were behind the screens, with only sihlouettes visible).

	Gorillaz New Music Album Demon Days \| Gorillaz Mp3, Lyrics, Videos, Downloads, Pics, News
		The brainchild of Blur's Damon Albarn, the Gorillaz are: Noodle, 2D, Murdoc Nicals and Russel Hobbs.
		Gorillaz were first introduced to the world consciousness by Damon Albarn of Blur fame and Tank Girl creator Jamie Hewlett with the 2000 debut album, "Gorillaz," which went on to sell in excess of six million copies worldwide.
		Gorillaz was never meant to be anything more than an in-joke novelty act, a literal cartoon band that was supposed to let Damon Albarn and Dan the Automator goof off in the studio together.

		But 2005 is a much different year than 2001, and if Gorillaz exuded the heady, optimistic, future-forward vibes of the turn of the millennium, Demon Days is as theatrically foreboding as its title, one of the few pop records made since 9/11 that captures the eerie unease of living in the 21st century.
		It not only eclipses the first Gorillaz album, which in itself was a terrific record, but stands alongside the best Blur albums, providing a tonal touchstone for this decade the way Parklife did for the '90s.
		Gorillaz return after a few years releasing practically nothing except for some merchandise, but with their new album, Demon Days, everybody knows that Gorillaz are going to be around, and...

	BBC - Rock & Alt Review - Gorillaz, Demon Days
		Gorillaz return with a blisteringly good album that happily skips from genre to genre and looks set to be one of the most rewarding albums you'll hear this year.
		I bought this album in the hope that it would be half as good as the first one however they have tried to be too diverse and get an array of rap and choir singers that I dont enjoy.
		Gorillaz new album is top, feel good inc is superb and the annimation for the video is quality, Dare one of the best tracks there with Shaun Ryder sounding the best he has in Years, Adore this album and hope to hear a lot more.

		Gorillaz debuted in late 2000 with the Tomorrow Comes Today EP, which they followed early the next year with the Clint Eastwood single; their self-titled full-length debut arrived in spring 2001.
		Gorillaz was a massive worldwide success and achieved platinum-level sales in the U.S. The group's svengalis were quick to capitalize, and released the B-sides collection G-Sides, the Phase One: Celebrity Takedown DVD, and the dub-inspired remix album Laika Come Home in 2002.
		When he was ready to begin the next Gorillaz album, Albarn turned to Danger Mouse, the DJ behind The Grey Album, the infamous mash-up of the Beatles' White Album and Jay-Z's Black Album, and a host of other collaborators, including De La Soul, Shaun Ryder, Debbie Harry, Dennis Hopper, and Martina Topley-Bird.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Gorillaz
		This debut Gorillaz set was a slow-burner, but thanks to a succession of cool sounding singles, stuck around on the UK album charts for months and months and months, peaking at number three.
		Gorillaz are huge, yet still a good majority of the record buying public have no idea who is behind the band, let alone the fact that Damon Albarn from Blur is behind the band.
		Gorillaz took advantage of the new rule allowing legally downloaded singles to count towards the charts proper.

	Gorillaz - Demon Days: Album Review
		That first Gorillaz album was something of a runaway success, having sold more than one and a half million copies in the US alone.
		For me a good album is when you hear tracks like for a milion times, and then when you put on the CD couple of years later you can still get the goose flesh.Maybe the time will tell.
		Unfortunately, I don't think the album was really worth the money I paid for it as it is. Some of the ideas and experimentations on it are good, some should have been dropped, but they ALL could have been worked on and developed more than they were (yes, even 'feel good inc.').

	Gorillaz : Gorillaz - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Admittedly, Hewlett's edgy-cute characterizations of 2-D, Gorillaz' pretty boy singer (who looks a cross between the Charlatans' Tim Burgess and Sonic the Hedgehog), sinister bassist Murdoc, whiz-kid guitarist Noodle, and b-boy drummer Russel are so arresting that they almost detract from Gorillaz' music.
		And initially, Gorillaz' self-titled debut feels incomplete when Hewlett's imagery is removed; the concept of Gorillaz as a virtual band doesn't hold up as well when you can't see the virtual bandmembers.
		Musically, however, Gorillaz is a cutely caricatured blend of Albarn's eclectic Brit-pop and Nakamura's equally wide-ranging hip-hop, and it sounds almost as good as the band looks.

	GORILLAZ - Demon Days - The Final Word
		Gorillaz are different from everything I've been hearing on the radio and the telly, and to some people that would be a bad thing.
		And I agree with the lyric writing - on this album (not to mention thinktank or the 1st Gorillaz album or its TWO spinoff ripoff releases of recycled music - the dub album and b-sides release) he reduces the lyrics to the sheer state of words that rhyme.
		I would admit that the debut album was simplistic in nature, though catchy and genuinely moody with a good variety of seasonings and spices, and once again, unlike anything being done in pop music at the time.

	Gorillaz: Demon Days: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Fortunately, Gorillaz provides Albarn an outlet to vent his taste for sci-fi kitsch, and satiate his urge to break free from rock with guitars-- and it's a surprisingly successful outlet, at that.
		For most of the album, Danger Mouse & Albarn make like they're Dario Argento & Goblin, to the point that this Fangoria neophyte can't tell the difference between the sampled zombie-flick scores and the facsimile ones (I'm pretty sure "Last Living Souls" is the former).
		In fact, if the Gorillaz concept achieves anything beyond keeping Hewlett employed and producing some snazzy videos and websites, it's proving that Albarn can successfully wield the sonic toys he's mostly kept partitioned apart from his flesh band.

		As the ultimate experiment in manufactured image, the Gorillaz are a virtual, cartoon-character-based hip-hop band which bring together some of the wittiest, silliest lyrics and the most seriously talented musicians.
		Infectious old school hip-hop rhythms, rhymes and effects courtesy of Deltron 3030's Kid Koala and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien (Russel) are combined with Albarn's passion for chugging lo-fi and edgy melodies to create a seemingly raw but ultimately slick blend of styles which is all their own.
		This album is the one that made the Gorillaz huge, almost every song has catchy lyrics bass, drums and everything else.

		Gorillaz has really given him a chance to spread his wings, and let him experiment and try things he wasn't able to do with Blur.
		This album has grown and grown on me. I wanted to write about the first six proper songs forming the heart of the album and the rest being disposable, but it's really not true.
		You have to appreciate the perspective of the creators of this album, the supremely playful and simultaneously world weary affect of pop veterans, who have seen it all and yet still want to mess with the form and function of their music.

	gorillaz_news: Damon: "no new Gorillaz album for 2007/08, maybe no new Gorillaz album for 10 years"
		But I always thought that some day this album should be played live because it works by itself as a very complete piece of music, with many possibilities, not only as a pop record.
		You have to realise that Gorillaz is something that we work on as a collective and that there are many people constnatly introducing elements and bringing in ideas.
		A new album for 20007 would be too much effort for the visual team and we wouldn't have time to get ourselves sychronised [the visual and the musical sides].

	Gorillaz - Gorillaz : album review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The recent top 10 single, Clint Eastwood, was played to death by radio stations, who concentrated on a remix of the original, so it is with pleasure that we find the remix as a 'secret' track on this album, along with the wonderful original.
		The multimedia element of the record is perhaps more fully realised than any other record released so far, with a cartoon about one of the characters' winnebago, which leads you into a specially built section of the website.
		If Gorillaz fails anywhere, it is in the conception of a cartoon band.

		Before you even consider the sonic and melodic innovation paraded through the album there’s so much crammed into each of these fifteen songs (without any one of them sounding overproduced or cluttered) that repeated listening is a must.
		Granted, the world isn’t exactly better off since since the last Gorillaz album, but that doesn’t mean we need to be reminded of it by a loose collaborative outfit that will never be mistaken for the Clash when it comes to political or social consciousness.
		the gorillaz are 2 for 2, this cd is one of the best of the year without a doubt.

		Apprehension that the Gorillaz's sophomoric release would not be nearly as good as their first was the gloomy undertone to the talk of many the fan.
		When asked about the changes, Albarn just plays off the Gorillaz being a real band and says he has little to say in the direction of such things and that it was the collective artistic decision of Noodle, 2D, Murdoc, and Russel.
		Lyrically it seems that the Gorillaz had more of a social and political statement to make this time, or at least more so than they may have made in the past.

		It is strange to think that initially it had not been planned to release the Gorillaz album in the US, but when US radio and television started picking up on Clint Eastwood the album was released as soon as possible, with two 'purchase incentive' B-sides tagged on the end before the hidden track.
		When 19/2000 became successful in the UK and Europe, the album was reissued with the Soulchild Remix of the song, and the Ed Case Refix of Clint Eastwood was taken into the main listed tracklisting (although inexplicably it was the edit, not the full version of the song, that appeared on these reissues).
		More exotic versions of the album include the Asian two and three CD editions featuring much enhanced content, and the French double CD version which remains the only place the full version of 'The Sounder' was released commercially.
