Details: Amazon.ca A side project doesn’t usually hit gold, especially when said project is a quirky virtual collective fronted by cartoon characters. But the first, self-titled album by Gorillaz–the brainchild of illustrator Jamie Hewlett and Blur frontman Damon Albarn–actually hit platinum and turned into a surprise worldwide hit. Naturally expectations were a lot higher for Gorillaz’s sophomore effort, but Demon Days actually is even better than its predecessor. With producer Dan « the Automator » Nakamura gone, Albarn, a.k.a. 2D, has paired up with DJ Danger Mouse (responsible for the infamous Grey Album that illegally mixed the Beatles and Jay-Z) to steer the musical ship, while a whole new slew of guests enlivens the proceedings. Albarn has described Demon Days as being darker, but there’s a real kooky dance-party vibe coursing through the CD. Despite its somber tone, « Kids with Guns » is lifted by a killer bass line, for instance, while the catchy first single, « Feel Good Inc, » is augmented by an appealing contribution from De La Soul. Other noteworthy guests include Roots Manuva and Tricky collaborator Martina Topley-Bird on the dubby « All Alone » and Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder on the bouncy « DARE. » And yet it’s a 69-year-old actor who gets to deliver the most baffling contribution–just listen to Dennis Hopper’s spoken-word narrative on « Fire Coming Out of the Monkey’s Head. » Elisabeth Vincentelli Product Description The 15-track « Demon Days » is the follow-up to Gorillaz’s worldwide smash self-titled debut, which has sold more than 1.54 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and six million worldwide, according to Virgin. EMI. 2005.
