Description of Laika Come Home:
Sure, Gorillaz sounded original, but it was a pop project with all the constraints that went with it--can you imagine the six-minute remixed version of "Clint Eastwood" making it onto MTV? But that's exactly what makes Laika Come Home so good. It's a reimagined collection filled with bone-shaking dubscapes and enough reverb to transmit a message to the farthest edges of the universe. Listen to the "De-Punked" version of "Punk" with its meandering, decayed trumpet and computerized tweaks--hardly recognizable 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 as if it should have been the original version, but the real killer tracks are those injected with dancehall vibes by DJ U Brown and Earl 16. Who says "you don't get paid for doing what you love?"--not Damon Albarn. --Caroline Butler
Laika Come Home Reviews:
love it 
2009-09-14 - this is a great album indeed. of course a little ganja doesnt hurt to enhance the nature while listening. i listened to it over and over while traveling over to England (7 and a half hour flight.) it's simply relaxing and i found this by chance with a friend @ borders book store for about $20, so to buy it on amazon you will get a good deal. damen's voice is absolute, with no comparison. i bought this album and loved it, now you buy it and love it.
DON'T DEAL WITH the seller any_book under ANY circumstances! 
2009-06-16 - any_book is the worst seller i have had the displeasure to deal with . EVER. its a month later and still nothing. i haven't even gotten a response from them. avoid at all costs!
cloudy with a chance of gorillaz
2009-03-30 - Prompt and well time my only complaint or question, is there some sort of chocolate or maybe some other food substance melt onto the jewel box.
Blur meets Mad Professor
2008-06-02 - I slept on this album when it came out. MY BAD! This a dub version of the gorillaz first masterpiece. I'm a trueschool dub, hip-hop, electronica head. When the gorillaz hooked up with the Automator it was a dream come true. Making a dub remix album was the only thing that could possibly top it and they did it. Any fans of Dr. Octagon, Blur, or Mad Professor will love this album.
Wow. 
2007-12-06 - Okay, I don't have the album, but I listened to the previews or samples or whatever you wanna call them, and I couldn't even reconize some of them! The guitar on "Come Again" told me "Oh, this is 5/4" but instead of the spiky electric guitar, it reminded me the acoustic guitar on Feel Good Inc! It's amazing how you can take a bunch of tracks like "Punk", "Man Research", and "5/4" and create something softer, more laid-back. This is kind of a "California Beach" record (or at least that's what I think). I really like it, but once again, I don't own it, so I can't say for sure. It still makes a good impression on me.
