100Get past the dark stuff and Demon Days reveals a stash of songs that are more fun than a Hong Kong Phooey marathon.
-
[Albarn's] sad, plaintive vocal presence elevates near-filler tracks like "November Has Come"... [and] sub-par tracks like the experimental "White Light" and... "Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head" all but beg for Albarn's persona to return. [#10, p.111]
-
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.
-
Surprisingly, Albarn's vocals, phoned-in and incredibly flat, weigh the record down.

VidM7An improvement over their debut. There's some really good stuff here, but there's still a ton of crap to sift through to get to it.

Matt1A complete mess, in my opinion. The vocals don't even seem to flow with the music.
