The new Gorillaz album is so godamned good.

I think it is one of the better things to come out this year.

I agree with both of you.

I bought it. Then I realized everyone had, and I felt uncool. But I still love it.

What others say about boorite!

Well Roots Manuva and MF Doom are good but what about Del :(.

---
Batman created by Bob Kane

Yeah, what about Del? To make matter worse I seem to have lost my Deltron 3030 album.

My mp3s are right where I left them !

Batman created by Bob Kane

I have listened to it at least once a day since buying it...sometimes three or more.

Jim Norton's cd "Trinkets I Own Made From Gorilla Hands" is good also.

Batman created by Bob Kane

Yes, I think it's very very very good. It's probably one of my top 3 that have been released this year.

I was just saying the other day that it's kind of amusing that my favorite hip-hop album of the new millennium was made by a British guy who, 10 years ago, was a virtual Ray Davies impersonator.

I has a flavor!

I would hardly call Demon Days a hip hop album. Only like 2 songs have anything even resembling rapping on them.

I'm not really sure about their whole pretending to be comic characters thing, but this album is really good. I liked the last one better, though.

I liked the last one better too. This one is a little to whiny for my tastes. Its still pretty good.

That "comic characters" thing is entirely necessary; Gorillaz is not a band, it's Damon Albarn collaborating with as many people as he wants/can. It'd be dumb to just have him because it's not just him in that same sense. Plus, it's neat. Sometime next year he plans on doing shows with holograms.

It's hip-hop in spirit. Built on loops and rhythms, and awash in sonic experimentation. It's hip-hop in the same way DJ Shadow is.

---
I has a flavor!

It's certainly electronica, but I wouldn't call it hip-hop for the most part.

This signature has performed an illegal operation and has been shut down.

Gorrilaz have been playing live gigs behind animated screens since about 6 months after they first started. While Damon is the instantly recognisable lead vocalist, it's not a solo project.

Yes, I know they've been playing using projection screens, but they're going to start using actual holograms.

And you're right, it's not a solo project, it's quite the opposite. Gorillaz is essentially a superband, one like The Reindeer Section; the both of which when, at recording time, have a LOT of members, yet the only constant members of each band were the vocalists; Damon Albarn and Gary Lightbody(respectively). In the case of Gorillaz, even the producer was changed between albums, going from Dan the Automator for the S/T to Dangermouse for Demon Days.

In the studio, "Demon Days" era Gorillaz had 20 members, "S/T" era Gorillaz had 24. I could list them if you'd like.

I never forgave Albarn for forcing Graham Coxon out of Blur.

Gorillaz aren't obvious lesbians.

No, they are secret lesbians. Don't out them, for christ's sake.

Lesbians? Do they really need anymore gimmicks?

Does the band throw poo?
