Drop an anvil at the recording of Demon Days, the celeb-packed second album from Gorillaz – the Technicolor front for Blur's Damon Albarn, producer Dan the Automator, artist Jamie Hewlett, and rapper Del Tha Funky Homosapien – and you'd probably have crushed a half-dozen B-list musicians, a couple of style icons, and the odd Hollywood star besides. Given that it's been co-produced by Dangermouse, creator of copyright-flaunting hip-hop epic The Grey Album, you'd be right to suspect many of these are rappers: Daisy Age legends De La Soul add zing to the tweaked disco-hop of "Feel Good Inc", while Roots Manuva adds a touch of brooding introspection to the juddering "All Alone". But there's some strange surprises, too: a cameo from Dennis Hopper, whose monologue on "Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head" is an eerie highlight; ex-Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder, who rambles along enjoyably on "DARE" – even though he never gets much further than announcing the song's title; or the welcome return of Neneh Cherry, who joins Albarn in song with a snatch of Salt N Pepa's "Push It" on the menacing "Kids with Guns". A dark return from these dedicated culture vultures, bu...
 Amazing, 2010-06-08
Love it, love it, LOVE IT!
It's one of those albums that have to be on full blast to appreciate the base, the drums and Damon's voice and there isn't a single song I'd skip.

Wonderful, Must Buy Album, 2010-07-18
Plastic Beach is my favourite Gorillaz album to date. Like some other reviewers, I had to listen to it a few times to really get to love it, but some of the songs are truly beautiful, both musically and vocally. Some of Damon Albarn's vocals are really great, as are ones from Little Dragon singer Yukimi Nagano, who has a beautiful voice.
As with previous Gorillaz albums, I did not find all tracks to my liking, but this collection contains some truly great music. My favourites include Stylo, Empire Ants, On Melancholy Hill, Broken and To Binge.
For me, Gorillaz get better with the release of each album, Gorillaz being my least favourite, Demon Days is good, but Plastic Beach is great, and is amongst my favourite albums of all time.

The Gorillaz claim to have found their motley crew of cartoon characters sleeping in Leicester Square, but Blur's Damon Albarn (a.k.a. 2-D) and cult cartoonist Jamie Hewlett (Murdoc) are not fooling anyone. As the ultimate experiment in manufactured image, the Gorillaz are a virtual, cartoon-character-based hip-hop band which bring together some of the wittiest, silliest lyrics and the most seriously talented musicians. Infectious old school hip-hop rhythms, rhymes and effects courtesy of Deltron 3030's Kid Koala and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien (Russel) are combined with Albarn's passion for chugging lo-fi and edgy melodies to create a seemingly raw but ultimately slick blend of styles which is all their own. This is nowhere more evident than on hit single "Clint Eastwood", which is carried along by the sound of 2-D's slurred voice and a bluesy harmonica melody interrupted by Russel's punching rhymes. But the surprises do not stop there: Ibrahim Ferrer's appearance on "Latin Simone" could have come straight from Buena Vista Social Club but for the obvious Blur-influenced piano style, while the spooky intro to "M1 A1" wouldn't sound out of place on Michael Jackson's Thrill...
Fantastic debut album, 2006-07-27
Being new to the scene a lot were expected of cartoon band Gorillaz and they delivered in a way which was unbelievable with this fantastic debut album.
They came into the market having not a lot of success but were able to deliver in the form of their first single `Clint Eastwood' which reached number 4 in the UK charts but probably deserved higher with its cool style and interesting choice of lyrics.
The songs are very different from your average rock band. Because their mode of address is very unusual it struck a cord with a wide range of people. The video for Clint Eastwood showed the band dancing and the drummer being turned into a monster. The funny elements and amazing graphics were great but the whole music concepts are enough to win the hearts of any audience.
Using guitars, pianos, mixing sounds and great singing the band are able to deliver a new and different style of music. The music can and should be listened to at any time of the day, whether you wish to dance or chill out it is highly useful and beneficial
With singles such as `New Genious' and `double bass' it shows a varied and complex style of music. The songs are all different. From the fast paced `Clint Eastwood' to the slow based `Tomorrow comes today' emphasises the fact that Gorillaz are able to explore different styles and give the viewers different ideas as to what music should be about.
A personal favourite of mine is `Sound Check' the slowness combines beautifully with an upbeat rhythm. The pace and slow style of singing is enough to gain the audience's vote. The DJ's backing scratches are superb to. The different singers also combine to create an atmospheric style of music.
Both albums produced by Gorillaz(self titled and Demon days) are absolutely fantastic. With using different components such as piano, drums, violins etc and using these in ways to create such songs as Sound Check, Man Research and Clint Eastwood its no surprise that Gorillaz are my favourite band - to explore difference with emphasis into beautifully composed music I recommend this album or Demon Days above any other

Perfection is impossible when catering for all. But Plastic Beach isn't far off., 2010-04-26
I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this, but first things first this album is magnificent. The music industry has needed this kind of forward thinking shake-up for quite some time. It has something for everyone, soaring and diving through genre boundaries relentlessly.
The extras for the experience edition are really only for hardcore fans. I guess only the said fans will purchase this edition anyway though. As a long time Gorillaz follower, I could not be happier with this purchase.
The highlight of the extras is the 'Making Of' DVD which gives a great insight into the production of the album. If you want a fantastic album, buy the normal edition. Anything more, this is your boy.

So, the Gorillaz have hired some space monkeyz to remix their album? Right... The official story behind Laika Come Home is that it's the product of an intergalactic odyssey apparently undertook by D-Zire, Dubversive and Gavva, all descendents of the first chimps sent into space. And what does a lonely simian listen to in the dark coldness of space? Why bone-shaking dubscapes with enough reverb to transmit their message to the outer edges of the universe, of course. Re-editing and producing a dub version of an album might sound like a pretty self-indulgent affair and to a certain extent Laika is. Whilst Gorillaz sounded original, it was a pop project with all the constraints that went with it – can you imagine the 6 minute remixed version of "Clint Eastwood" making it onto MTV?. But that's exactly what makes Laika so good. Listen to the "De-Punked" version of "Punk" with its meandering, decayed trumpet and computerised tweaks-- hardly recognisable as the original--or the swinging old-school ska that crops ups on "5/4". The two-tone skank of "M1/A1" (with Terry Hall) sounds like it should have been the original version, while the real killer tracks a...

A collection of B Sides (Sorry, G Sides) from a band with only one album to their credit should be an exercise in lowest-common-denominator barrel-scraping. But Gorillaz' G Sides, as befits a band whose "live" performances take months of preparation, is an exercise in careful planning that actually manages to outstrip this near certainty. It's by no means a work of lost gems. "19-2000" features as a more uptempo mix, and "Clint Eastwood" reappears as the more chunky mix performed on the BRITs with Phi Life Cypher, and as a CD-ROM video. Other tracks, such as the closer "12D3" come across as 13 era Blur on autopilot. Unsurprisingly it's not hefty either, weighing in at a fairly paltry 37 minutes and 10 tracks, but overall it provides a fairly good companion to the album, and is better than it has any right to be. --Chris Blenkarn
 Great as always, 2008-05-24
This is a fantistic Cd and deserves to be bought. The only problem is that they put on two songs that they have on Gorillaz[UK]:
'19-2000 (Soulchild Remyx/Remix)'
and
'Rock The House'.
Even though on the CD, they put put on a '(edit)' at the end, i think, that they just cut out a possible swear word.
Despite these setbacks, all in all this is a great album.
