Nov 24, 2021Certified hood classic. Every time I listen to this album I fall in love listening to the band again. Very good enjoy.
-
Sep 23, 2021Great album, one of the first albums I fully listened to. every song is good but not perfect, not their best by 2 albums but still great.
-
Sep 12, 2021This is how you enter the world of music. The debut from the fictional band „Gorillaz“ is exemplary to say the very least. Memorable, varied and very creative. Who doesn’t know Gorillaz by now!?
-
Aug 23, 2021Some of the "official" critisicm is hilarious. Loops in pro tools, come on now... Album is not perfect. But man did this album age well. Gorillaz keeps innovating and mastering the alternative genre in music. This debut album is top-notch, close to a masterpiece.

Jan 31, 2021Great album. Flawed, in the way that it could've ended after about track 11. But the those first 11 tracks are fantastic. And there are still some likeable things with the tracks that come after the eleventh track.

Jun 1, 2018Very good album that was the world's introduction to a very good band ! ! !

Feb 18, 2018Gorillaz's debut album Gorillaz is one of the best albums I've listened to recently. I especially loved the fact that their music is essentially genre-less. The songs are catchy and are pretty good. The album is great and I'm gonna give it a solid 8.5/10.
-
Jul 26, 2017Amazing soundtrack! If you listen to it over and over they sound even better as you notice the background sounds or something. Truly this album is genius and if you have not yet listened to this album all the way through you should. My favorite is Sound Check (Gravity) as it has a depressing guitar and vocals. Better than pop music believe me.

Nov 19, 2016Gorillaz is to me the best band ever and they did start by Rocking Clint Eastwood's House 19-2000 times, not their best album, that would be Demon Days, but definetly their 2nd best.
-
Sep 3, 2016It is an impressive work, being their first album, they did something incredible, bth energetic and easy-listening is one of the best albums of Gorillaz has made, with his "dark pop" or "zombie hip hop" they did something amazing, the history of all the songs, with all their videos, all the lyrics. It ends up being an album that should not be ignored at all.
-
Aug 20, 2016An intriguing blend of various styles, genres and moods and it contains elements ranging from deep heavy sounds to playful melodies. This album does a good job of linking up different genres.
-
Jun 20, 2016One of the greatest albums I have listened to. I would recommend listening to every Gorillaz album. Also the music videos are great as well. I give this 10/10
-
Apr 26, 2016I am a long-time fan of Gorillaz. Gorillaz does really fascinating modern alternative rock that can change it's whole generation forever!. This album is really good!. The songs are really catchy. I highly recommend new Gorillaz fans this album.
-
Jan 26, 2016I Love so much this album! :D
When I bought this album in 2001 I running in my house, I put the CD in my CD player.
Then I looked more similar bands to it (Deltron 3030)
And now I listen to this in 2016!!! ^_^ -
Aug 6, 2015Great for a first album. Some excellent classics here as it combines alternative rock and alternative hip hop with a gorgeous dub feel! Other than one or two "flat" tracks, it's a great album.
-
Jan 4, 2015The Gorillaz first album is full of very trippy and funky tunes. Quite a few work, yet there's a chunk that doesn't. But still, this is one of the most original sounding albums out there and it's definitely worth picking up.
-
Jul 8, 2014This is a terrific album because in each song you get a different genre and you can tell thay they experimented with trip hop. And they get really imaginitive with the songs espicially with "Clint Eastwood.".
-
Jun 6, 2013Although it took me 12 years to listen to it, The Gorillaz debut with the former Blur star is a huge hit. Most notably Clint Eastwood helps carry this amazing album to a decade great.

Jun 11, 2012There's something for everyone in this album. The album covers genres from pop to funk to punk to hard rock. Definitely worth the money if you're ever curious.

Feb 3, 2012Some songs in this album make it great to listen but some without a doubt do not belong in it. Many people will think that for a few songs this is ''crap'' but to me it's genius work from Damon Albarn and the other people who did this album. Before making any critics people have to understand the world around Gorillaz because this music is amazing.
-
Dec 9, 2011A rocky debut from Damon Albarn's self-titled side project. Even though some of the LP feels uneven in a few places, the record contains some of the best pop songs you'll here from the past decade. Clint Eastwood is a classic.

Jan 5, 2011Amazing CD. It contains almost anything good that could be on a CD. Creative lyrics, a sound like no other band out there. Definitely one to buy. 10/10.
-
Nov 6, 2010It's a little weak compared to the likes of Demon Days, D-Sides and Plastic Beach, but the debut Gorillaz album is still great. Some of the tracks are a little boring in my eyes, unlike the Phase 2 and Phase 3 albums that were awesome pretty much all the time. I still know all the lyrics for Clint Eastwood :P

Oct 1, 2010A very innovative and amazing album by Gorillaz. If you like rock, pop and hip-hop, then this is a must-have. Once again, Damon Albarn does a great job at bringing something new and fresh.

VadamercaNJul 27, 2007Both energetic and easy-listening, this CD brought together so many fans and listeners, the world could even be saved from global warming. If your looking for pop, rock and hip-hop all in one album, this is a must-have.

FistfullofPeanutsJun 14, 2007This album is a perfect mix of everything! I never get bored of it. I got bored with demon days kinda quick because there were too many rap songs and demon days just didn't contain as much originality as this one. Also there were a few songs on here I hated at first now I only hate 1! =)
-
-
TurkRocksNov 15, 2006Amazing! Not their best, but some of the best! It doesnt quiet fit as a 10 but it definatly is worth a bit more than a nine ; but since there is no '9.5' rating available - I give it a ten to maybe raise it up a few :P Enjoy life, and enjoy the gorillaz. Gorillaz - original, beautiful, wonderful

JonathanGarciaASep 27, 2006The best band ever along with Deltron 3030! The music is just great and it also reminds me of good time! :)
-
-
T-demonJul 22, 2006The josie and the pussy cats of this century my foot. This band may just revolutionize the way people look at music. From its thought invoking lyrics to it's curious way of presenting people, I'd say this is a must have CD. After all, even though only two people started them, over 50 people are behind them, and it's all wrapped up in an animated ball.

randompersonMay 25, 2006Greatest Cd EVA !!

dreJan 30, 2006well....just like demon days....the album does sound like absolute rubbish when you first listen to it....but when you begin to know the lyrics and listen to it second time around...you realise that this is one of the maddest albums ever!!!!! =)
-
-
EirinjasJan 26, 2006Not impressive. Also, the term band tends to connotate people who actually play instruments. This is just sampled crap.

PaulJun 21, 2003When I first heard and saw the video for Clint Eastwood, I had to get this album. The Gorillaz are a genre of their own. 2D is the coolest cartoon I ever saw. I could just go on and on about this album.

AndrewE.Dec 9, 2001This CD is good, except you need to listen to it a few times before understand the mood of it. When you understand the whole 'mood' you'll like this album.

Alternative PressWhereas the Beckster tends to wriggle cheekily along to his funk, and Badly Drawn Boy does his own thing in spite of it, Gorillaz don't give a rat's ass about acting funky; they just are. [July 2001, p.68]
-
A couple of tracks flounder around South of no North but as a whole Gorillaz, should be pretty pleased with what they've been able to achieve, considering the high risk concept involved.
-
Taken only for what it is, Gorillaz is an engaging, if not entirely arresting, journey through sluggish mood rock and jazzy hip-hop. Taken for what it aspires to be, though, it's more disappointing than awe-inspiring...
