Description of Gorillaz:
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) aren't fooling anyone. As the ultimate experiment in manufactured image, the Gorillaz are a virtual cartoon-character-based hip-hop band who bring together witty, silly lyrics and talented musicians. Infectious old-school hip-hop rhythms, rhymes, and effects courtesy of Deltron 303'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. This is nowhere more evident than on the 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 don't 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 Thriller. Backed by Jamie Hewlett's death-wish character on bass, Cibo Matto's Miho Hatori (Noodle) on guitar and occasional hyperactive vocals, and produced by Dan "The Automator" Nakamura, it's hardly surprising that Gorillaz is marked both by a sense of playfulness and a passion for experimentation. --Caroline Butler
Gorillaz Reviews:
GORILLAZ ROCKS 
2008-02-08 - This CD is one of the Gorillaz' best CDs! Every song on here is awesome and muszt be played over and over again. The songs don't get old and are very original. Make sure to check out the hidden track on M1/A1. After the song is over there is a long silence of about 3 mins, then a clint eastwood remix comes on... very cool! Check out G-Sides, also, if you like their remixes.
1st Gorillaz CD
2005-10-27 - Great condition with the extras. This was just what I was looking for at a reasonable price.
Original concept backed with killer hooks 
2005-10-05 - Being a major Blur fan, I went nuts the first time I heard Clint Eastwood. What an awesome song - definitely one of the best songs of the 2000's. The idea of a band with all-cartoon characters combined with funky vibes and an old-school party atmosphere was such a cool, novel idea - how could it not succeed? Many of the songs just invigorate you - challenging but catchy as hell. The type of songs that can't be denied no matter how "outside the box that is pop radio" these songs can be. Gorillaz isn't perfect - I think at 71 minutes it's a bit too long and takes a while to get going (which in my opinion is a concern that Danger Mouse fixes for the even-better Demon Days). Dan the Automator should've probably cut a few songs out. But once it gets going, you see why it went platinum and was considered one of the best of 2001. Worth getting just for Clint Eastwood but I also really love the work with Ibraham Ferrer on Latin Simone. All in all, a really cool CD and a really great direction for Damon Albarn to go with his music - even if indirectly caused Graham Coxon to leave Blur. Check it out.
If you kno the band you know what your getting.
2005-10-01 - It's worth the money if you really enjoy the band and its work.
Aside from that Its just yet another cd to add to the collection.
eh 
2005-09-25 - the only song that is good on here is clint eastwood. i'm very mad at the moron who decided to remix such a good song. u suck person.
