Don't Get Lost In Heaven
Got off a plane to the countryside I drove to the mountain and a hole in the ground There was crack on the corner and someone dead And fire coming... See the rest of the song lyrics

    While not all of the remixes hit these heights, overall it's a fun set, and a good complement to the eclecticism of D-Sides' first disc.

    Crazy as a second Gorillaz B-sides album might sound, this rummage through the "Demon Days" cutting room floor is totally justified.

    It's not all killer, but some impressive tracks lurk within.

    Much of the album would've been lucky to appear on the flip side of a vinyl single back when people bought such things....Matters improve on a remix-filled bonus CD. [23 Nov 2007, p.73]

    Gorillaz' double-disc D-Sides, an extension of the hit "Demon Days," isn't as bland as that description suggests, but like 2002's "G-Sides," it lacks the luster of the studio album that inspired it.

    The remixes that constitute the second disc are less intriguing than the B-sides, but none of them are horrible.

    Unsurprisingly for a 2D project, it's all a little flat. [Dec 2007, p.121]

    Honestly, I've probably listened to this album more than "Demon Days", it's really that good. The first disc that is... the second disc isHonestly, I've probably listened to this album more than "Demon Days", it's really that good. The first disc that is... the second disc is mostly mediocre remixes. But the first disc alone is worth the 10/10 score. Highlights: "Hong Kong" "Stop The Dams"… Collapse

    Bill Murray is good. Hongkongaton is very good. People i prefer over Dare. We are happy landfill is an awesome track too. Actually the entire album is so good that you should listen to it if you have not or had already.

    To me, there is no better evidence of Gorillaz’s brilliance than this two-disc album- Albarn’s discarded tracks are as interesting,To me, there is no better evidence of Gorillaz’s brilliance than this two-disc album- Albarn’s discarded tracks are as interesting, stimulating, intoxicating as any premium EP released in today’s pop climate. For Pete’s sake, when tracks like “Hong Kong” and “Highway (Under Construction)” and “Stop the Dams” don’t even make it onto the original EP, you know this group is golden. The remixes on disc 2 are hit or miss (I particularly enjoyed the “Kids With Guns Hot Chip Remix”), but overall this is a must-own for Gorillaz fans and music fans everywhere.… Expand
