DrewNAug 20, 2005This album caught me by surprise really. After the first Gorillaz CD, which had a few good tracks, but not one of my favorites, I didn't expect much from this band. Boy was I wrong. After hearing "Feel Good Inc.", I felt I had to buy the album, and I wasn't dissapointed. Tracks that stand out: Feel Good Inc., DARE, Kids With Guns. Seriously buy the album.

VincentCAug 19, 2005Excellent. Funky beats, flows well. Loved the dialogue by Dennis Hopper

ChrisCAug 15, 2005Listen to this cd if you are a pre pubescent, filth monger which will soon inhibit the entirety of america. This cd is for people who don't care what they listen to as long as it has a crappy, i mean catchy beat. Please don't listen to this garbage

MackenzieFAug 12, 2005I think this CD is a VERY awesome CD. I got it and I listen to it every day. I have had to make a million copies of it for my friends!!!

MikeSAug 3, 2005Truly original..the video for Feel good Inc. is mesmerizing. The music goes on and on, and each time you listen to the record you pull something new.
-
-
JamieMAug 3, 2005Sure, it takes a while to get into, but eventually you realize that " Demon Days" is pure experimental genius. Best Song: Dare

jackaJul 31, 2005absolutely terrible. boring:-(

RoloRJul 24, 2005This album was the best one ive bought this year, far surpasing any sound created anywhere the gorillaz have done it again and will continue i hope!

CraigCJun 29, 2005Album of the year. It takes three or four listens (the best albums usually do) but once you "get it", you can't stop listening to it. I didn't know Damon Albarn was quite this brilliant a composer. Gorillaz first album provided glimpses but this is the real deal. This is the album the music industry needed as an anditote to all the wuss and crap rock being produced all over the world.

PatrickCJun 27, 2005This is the album of the year.

JenniferMJun 20, 2005I. Love. This. Album. So innovative and unique, but very listenable and unpretentious. My favourite track is Dare.

jwJun 19, 2005it might sound bad at first.. but once you get into it, it's amazing.
-
-
aaronlJun 18, 2005Lots of lame hipster indie bands (postal service, go find) try to incorporate hip-hop/electronica/a beat into their music and ultimately fail, mainly because they just don't get what makes a good beat. this record understands hip-hop and has the pop-sensibility necessary to make a record like this work.
-
-
jboyJun 14, 2005The brilliance in this CD is stunning....and the bonus track rocks also
-
-
MattJun 9, 2005A complete mess, in my opinion. The vocals don't even seem to flow with the music.
-
-
azJun 9, 2005I just want to do the monster to this whole CD.... it kicks ass.

CYRUSCJun 3, 2005Wow, this album is near perfection. I say near because a couple songs dont appeal to me very much, but aside from that, the creativity, and the flow of the other songs, cannot be compared with anything else. I especially like Fire Coming out of the Monkeys Head. Honestly that just might be one of the best songs i have ever heard. BUY IT QUICK
-
-
formerwowplayerJun 2, 2005This album is a much fun as it is smart and creative! A great listen and an BIG change in style since their debut. I can wait to see what Mr. Blur Frontman does next.
-
-
DavidOJun 1, 2005Listened to this several times and apart from Feel Good Inc there's not a single track that sticks in my head. What happened to the unconventional catchiness of the previous record? Hugely dissapointing follow-up....
-
-
GuillaumePMay 31, 2005Don't trust yourself too much on your first impressions. Its only after you'll have listened Demon Days 2 or 3 times you'll start to like it, then you'll love it and be careful, it becomes an adiction and the only word that can describe the way i see this record after listening 10 times is (love²+admiration).
-
-
RobAMay 31, 2005It took me a few listens to get into it, but now I'm there I love it!

IllyaZMay 30, 2005Not bad at all...
-
-
S@T@NMILTONMay 30, 2005Wow!!! First when I listened the CD, bad bad bad But after in a dark room, wow this album has every aspect of music I know lots of people don
-
-
zegaMay 30, 2005Accessible and cross-genre,good like Groove Armada, K.I.A. and other artists doing multi-vocalist hybrid-electronica (rocktronica, dubtronica...). And, unlike the first Gorillaz, has some emotional weight (Kids With Guns...). Would be a 10 but for the spoken-word song ("Fire Coming Out of the Monkey"); when will artists learn that talk-tracks are unlistenable after the first time?
-
-
GregBMay 29, 2005AMAZING!!! Best Record i've Heard in Years. Danger Mouse is on fire these days, and Damon Albarn proves he is one of the best songwriters of our time. BRILLIIANT!!!!
-
-
[Anonymous]May 29, 2005Brilliant. While not on par with the debut album, the material here is far from thin. Danger Mouse has done a great job producing this and has helped to create a great follow up.
-
-
JonathanTMay 29, 2005Its about time intelligence was brought to the 21st century. Futuristic with some elegant undertones just like Future Sound of London's ' Dead Cities'. A slightly apocalyptical post war undertone with the feeling of having your heaphones implanted through your brain. J'adore GORILLAZ c'est le meilleur album de cet decennie. Merci et continue !!!
-
-
FirstLastMay 28, 2005Less sporadic and, thus, more cohesive than the debut record. Very fun. Only thing I'd say is that some of the rapping sections - while completely credible - might be tricky to distinguish from standard mainstream hip-hop/krunk; something that never happened on the eponymous record.

EmiliaHMay 27, 2005Excellent! Damon is incredible, his voice is amazing. The rythms are so different between one another....... but it isn't a problem, all of them are combined perfectly!
-
-
AnthonyEMay 27, 2005the first gorillaz record was great, but this ones so much better.
-
-
matthewaMay 26, 2005There is definetely some filler here (O Green World, White Light) but most of is just toe-tapping brilliance. A step up from their last album.
-
-
VincentVMay 26, 2005This CD is much better than the first. I'm not saying the first wasn't good, but this is beter.
-
-
mariemmmMay 26, 2005Probably the worst album i ever listen to
-
-
alexmdMay 26, 2005its not music I would listen to. IT DOESNT REALLY SOUND LIKE MUSIC. Personnaly I gave it a 1 only the fell good inc song
-
-
JasonSMay 26, 2005Excellent album. the first three tracks are a bit of repetative filler, but the rest is gold. pure gold.
-
-
MaxMMay 25, 2005This is one of the best albums I ave heard in a long time, alhtough it is not as good as their original album which was my favorite album of all time! Very well done
-
-
EvilEMay 25, 2005good catchy fun beats and tunes, but is a bit boring at times. I do recommend it to anyone who liked the first album!
-
-
NofsGrrlMay 25, 2005Ahhhh... That is a sigh of relief in now knowing how good this album is. The first album was more mindless fun, whlle Demon Days is thoughtful fun. I will take my Gorillaz either way with a side of groove, please!
-
-
EdMMay 25, 2005An art-house Archies for the new millennium, Gorillaz seem less like a novelty act on
-
-
jbMay 25, 2005This is a serious grower. I found it rather flat at first, as I was expecting a jaunty ride - not a subtle odyssey, but havng listened to it a few times I'm coming around to the view that this is one of the best things Albarn's ever done.
-
-
jasonbMay 24, 2005new production sets this outing in the right direction...towards sonically soothing hip-pop
-
-
TylerFMay 24, 2005wow!!! I'm blown away. i liked the Gorillaz debut album but this one just blows it out of water. I mean, it's so damn catchy. I'm just hope I don't have to wait another 4 years for the next album.
-
-
GunnerMay 24, 2005This word may be cliched, but I think 'deep" is a good one to use as a description for the album. It delves further than thier first effort, and is definitely a creeper (a fast one though). Ilke one reviwer said, it has so many elements crammed in, it's really quite impressive. Wicked album!
-
-
ZachLMay 24, 2005I like how they strayed away from the poppiness (is that even a word?) that the first record had and went for a darker feel. However, I do miss Del a bit.
-
-
LucindaPMay 24, 2005I ove this album its the best I've heard in AGES!!!
-
-
JessicaBMay 24, 2005This CD is so much more than their debut. It is less poppy and more political message. Who can listen to Dirty Harry without thinking about Iraq?
-
-
FranciscusVMay 24, 2005Very lovely album. Great after waiting 4 years!
-
-
JamesMay 23, 2005Lacking alot, and boring as well.
-
-
jaymanMay 23, 2005A fun listen. I like the beats, and despite some early negative reviews, this may need a few more listens for some. Enjoyable off the bat for me...should be a great summer record.
-
-
LelaTVFMay 23, 2005An amazing CD, really. Excellent stuff here.

Awards & Rankings
-
UncutA dazzlingly clever record--great beats, brilliant production, top tunes and some of Albarn's best singing. [Jun 2005, p.106]
-
Demon Days actually is even better than its predecessor.
-
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.
