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.
-
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 !!!

shellibAug 25, 2005This album is the best album out for 2005, the gorillaz are tyhe best artists around at the moment! 5 stars!

-
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.
-
Jan 4, 2015Even though the album does get excessively weird for my taste, Demon Days is a great follow-up to their solid self-titled album. It's got great beats and some absolutely magnificent lyrics. This is one worth listening to.
-
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.
-
-
jackaJul 31, 2005absolutely terrible. boring:-(
-
-
MattJun 9, 2005A complete mess, in my opinion. The vocals don't even seem to flow with the music.
-
-
MikeAug 23, 2005this is one bad album. where are the melodies? just noise!
-
-
Dec 9, 2011I'm really surprised by all the negative reviews for this excellent sophomore record from the Gorillaz. So many great lush pop songs that will make your head spin. There are a few fillers, but for the most part it's a killer release.
-
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....

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
-
-
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
-
-
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.
-
-
JamieMAug 3, 2005Sure, it takes a while to get into, but eventually you realize that " Demon Days" is pure experimental genius. Best Song: Dare

LelaTVFMay 23, 2005An amazing CD, really. Excellent stuff here.

FranciscusVMay 24, 2005Very lovely album. Great after waiting 4 years!

KellyOOct 11, 2005This album might be better than its predecessor.......but what C.D. isn't?!
-
-
Feb 25, 2013This CD is unique... but that doesn't make it better. I listen to many music style ranging from jazz to metal and passing by opera. That is among the worst album I ever listened to. I can't see how critics can like it so much (except that it is unique...)
-
Mar 29, 2021this album is a 10 this album is a 10 this album is a 10 this album is a 10

LeonardoFJun 6, 2005Damon at his best.
-
-
JasonSMay 26, 2005Excellent album. the first three tracks are a bit of repetative filler, but the rest is gold. pure gold.
-
-
IllyaZMay 30, 2005Not bad at all...
-
-
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.

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.
-
-
BobRJul 21, 2007ridiculously hip... you'll fan over this band

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

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!!!
-
-
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!
-
-
samuelsSep 10, 2005this cd is the best cd in this year it is wicked
-
-
DaneCSep 3, 2005Most of the tracks are fine, but its the collabrations that make this album great. De La Soul, one of the most respected groups in rap, and Mf Doom, one of the most respected artist in underground rap, appear on this album and make the usually unused repeat track button on your cd player so nesserary.
-
-
LeviJan 7, 2006Brilliant. Not perfect, but brilliant.
-

DominicCFeb 11, 2006Amazing...... WE LOVE GORILLAZ!!!!!!
-
-
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!
-
-
LachlanWApr 5, 2006A very strong album. Some tracks are filler, but for the most part, the CD is a fantastic accomplisment. 'Dare' is one of the coolest songs that I will ever hear.

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.
-
-
DanAJun 24, 2007Better than anything else Gorillaz has put out, which says something.
-
-
JasperBNov 13, 2005This CD is the epitome of cool
-
-
ReyPNov 4, 2005The first half of the album is fantastic, but it really drops off from there. "Kids with Guns" has one of the best grooves of the year.
-
-
ConnorWDec 18, 2005Simply the best album of 2005!
-
-
joeblowDec 3, 2005Good album, but it would be better with less rapping.
-
-
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.
-
-
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?
-
-
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!
-
-
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
-
-
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.
-

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.
-
-
[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.
-
-
RobAMay 31, 2005It took me a few listens to get into it, but now I'm there I love it!
-
-
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).
-
-
jboyJun 14, 2005The brilliance in this CD is stunning....and the bonus track rocks also
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
PatrickCJun 27, 2005This is the album of the year.
-
-
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

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.
-
-
themouseSep 30, 2005one of the best cds i own i love DARE and feel good inc.

-
-
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!

jasonbMay 24, 2005new production sets this outing in the right direction...towards sonically soothing hip-pop

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.
