jwJun 19, 2005it might sound bad at first.. but once you get into it, it's amazing.
-

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.

ElfOzJun 8, 2005yeah!!!

bradcJan 10, 2006the gorillaz are 2 for 2, this cd is one of the best of the year without a doubt. It's a rare thing anymore to be able to put a cd in and walk away knowing that every song is good, hope they make a third one soon.

EdMMay 25, 2005An art-house Archies for the new millennium, Gorillaz seem less like a novelty act on

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

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!!!

SeamusSMar 31, 2006As a die hard BLUR fan I always cringe at the sound of Damon working on something that's not...well..Blur Self titled was good no masterpeice but good this this is something else a groundbreaking venture into the world of avanthippoprock and well I just dont know what to make out of the fucker Brillaint Heavy for sure Go Buy It!

SamMay 13, 2007Awesome, awesome album, any way you look at it. Passing over the obvious genius of hit "Feel Good, Inc." (and it is genius), DARE and El Manana are two other favorites. Check out the music video for Feel Good.

ConnorWDec 18, 2005Simply the best album of 2005!
-
-
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.
-
-
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?
-
-
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
-
-
[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.
-
-
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!!!!
-
-
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 !!!

RobAMay 31, 2005It took me a few listens to get into it, but now I'm there I love it!

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.

WesSep 14, 2005Great fucking album. I love every song, especially Every Planet We Reach is Dead and Feel Good Inc.
-
-
Noodle2-DSep 18, 2005WOW--what an incredible album. I can't stop listening to it. The variety of songs is exceptional. The beat moves from hip hop to techno to melodic ballad to early Pet Shop Boy-ish angst. Gorgeous compilation. Really. Get it. Don't be a loser.

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!
-
-
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!

Dec 3, 2010One of the greatest mix of music styles and imaginations - pleasant and disturbing, rough and smooth, apocalyptic and dreamy. Singles will make you feel fresh but whole album can leave huge mark on your attitude to modern music.
-

-
Dec 26, 2013The single most musically intriguing record I have ever heard, still stands up as my all time favourite album, ever. To describe it in one word, I would have to say that this album is "Perfect".
-
Dec 26, 2013Probably my favorite album of all time. despite the diversity of the music styles on the album, all of them are amazing tunes that I never skip should they arrive on a shuffled playlist.

Jun 6, 201310/10 is too low. But I can't go up to 20/10 so whatever.
Demon Days is The Gorillaz follow up album to their mega hit. Demon Days easily is better, which is a testament to just how good this album is. Feel Good Inc. and Dirty Harry are cult classics and help this album rise to Cult Classic status. -
May 22, 2015Instant classic, and even now, 10 years later it is still more modern than many many other artists. It is a timeless album, full of original arrangements, social critique and stellar mixing.
-
Aug 6, 2015Gorillaz's most accessible album and their most successful. They turn up the rock and hip hop while adding other elements such as trip hop. Every track is brilliant, with amazing singles and a three-part finale that tells an epic tale.
-
Nov 19, 2016This is the best album by my favourite band of all time, I love all songs, I never skip one, this album just makes me Feel Good when I'm All Alone over DARE at the Green World.
-
Apr 9, 2017best **** album ever i was 3 when this came out and i still love it! i don't see why people can not like it its great and better then gorillaz. LOVE IT
-
May 2, 2017Love it! A **** legendary album by Gorillaz and my fav album also! I really like the tracks, especially "Feel Good Inc.", "Kids With Guns", "DARE", "Dirty Harry" and more.

Sep 29, 2018Even after 13 years, Demon Days remains as good as it was when it first came out. I still have it on CD, and as soon as I get a record player, I plan on getting it on vinyl.
-
Jun 25, 2019Amazing album! A lot of my favorite Gorillaz songs are on Demon Days. If I had to list my favourites it would probably be most of the album...

Sep 12, 2021If iconic had to be put into two words, they’d be „DEMON DAYS“. Phenomenally produced & refreshingly demanding: This album stands out, even to this very day.
-
Sep 5, 2019One of the greatest albums releases in the 21st century. Completely ahead of its time. Masterpiece.
-

Jun 2, 2022A good commentary for it's time and great sounds all around. This is one of those albums I have absolutely no complaints with. I don't have a single problem with it. All of the features are fantastic, Damon's voice is on point, the beats and instrumentation are great, and MF DOOM is on this album, what is there not to love?
-
Mar 15, 2023A cult album, unique and exceptional. For me Demon Days marked the music industry.

FranciscusVMay 24, 2005Very lovely album. Great after waiting 4 years!
-
-
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.
-
-
VincentVMay 26, 2005This CD is much better than the first. I'm not saying the first wasn't good, but this is beter.
-
-
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?
-
-
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

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.

SaulVAug 25, 2005I think the Cd " Demon Days " has al kind of songs. I LOVE IT!

-
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!

HunterBMay 28, 2005

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.
-
-
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).
-
-
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

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.
