D-Sides Reviews: Good mix of songs  2009-11-02 - This is a pretty good compilation of Gorillaz songs, and most of the remixes are good. I didn't like the Jamie T. remix of "Kids with Guns", it ruined the song. I listen to the second disc more often, but the first one has good songs like "Highway", "Rockit", "Hongkongaton" and "Spitting out the Demons". "People", "Bill Murray" and "68 State" aren't too good IMO, they don't really have any direction lyrically, just kinda slow and repetitive. I paid less than the current price, and wouldn't say this set is worth $22.
Love this cd!  2009-04-28 - Gorillaz D-Sides is a great collection of songs and remixes that will rock your sound system - great value and I really liked it.
It's OK  2008-11-02 - If you really like their song, Dare, than you'll like this. The rest of the remixes are ok.
D-Sides Gorillaz  2008-09-03 - I absolutely love this CD. It's very mellow mixed with some reggae with a dash of hip hop. It is exactly what i need to relax to. The music of the Gorillaz has always been a favorite of mine, but D-Sides has some of their mixes along with a few new songs that are really good as well.
I Like This Album Over Demon Days Any Day  2008-08-23 - Being a Gorillaz fan since 2001, I scarf up any chance to hear new material from the "band". Seeing as the project may move away from music and into feature film, I thought we might not get another proper full-length from this lot. When I heard Danger Mouse was producing the 2nd album, I thought they couldn't have chosen a better producer, then I heard Demon Days. Although the reviews were better than the first album, most of it left me flat. I felt they had moved too far way from their hip hop/electronic/reggae/punk roots to something that sounded too generic. While there were standout singles Like Feel Good Inc, DARE, and El Manana, there was too much filler for my taste. Once the singles for Demon Days started appearing on iTunes, I had the chance to hear the stellar lineup of B-sides that were recorded during those sessions. Many of them were better than the tracks that made the album, so I bought the ones available, and "acquired" the rest to burn on a compilation. Then D-Sides showed up, with all those tracks and a few more mastered, normalized, and in much better sound quality than the digital releases. This should have been the 2nd album, IMO, along with Feel Good & El Manana, it would have almost been the perfect Gorillaz album. I love the sound Albarn has cultivated, with said hip hop, punk, and dub roots that make Gorillaz such a unique sound. The remix disc has some excellent cuts as well, the DFA remix of DARE, and Stanton Warriors' mix of Feel Good are my favs. Overall, an excellent long-player, and a worthy final chapter in Gorillaz' sound, if indeed that's what it is.
