    This was excellent. I believe this is the best cd I heard in the past week and I am suprised at how much I like it. Everyone you likes rock/rap should listen to them.

    When 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.

    This album is an addictive drug that combines many elements of hip hop, dub, and zombie rock. It is an eerie mixture of creative and dynamic music that takes you to another world.

    Amazing! 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

    The 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.

    This is my all time favorite album; period. I love all of the music on the album. The first time I listened to it I thought "What the heck is this crap?" But I started to appreciate it more and more. I strongly suggest this album.

    This 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! =)

    Both 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.

    With the blend of so many musical styles, this flowing album bounces from high energy beats (punk, M1A1), to some chill songs (5/4, re-hash), to laid back melodies (starshine, slow country), to some mashup raps (clint eastwood, rock the house), sprinkling in some mixes of each genre (left-hand-suzuki method).

    Whereas 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...
