Free Music Notes for Demon Days
Free Music Review: also watched the concert on TV......
Hit: 5 Stars
..........and was blown away by it.
This band to me was all about "Clint Eastwood". I'd heard the whole CD and was sort of into it. It was a little too heavy on the hip hop side, so I thought I knew all about what the band was.
WRONG!
The concert, first and foremost, made me see a whole new side to the group. There were strong musical, rhythmic, and lastly melodic stuff in here. And despite the darkness of the lyrics (of some of the tunes, not to mention the mood of the animation being pretty dark), there was an overall joy to the proceedings. During both Dirty Harry and Demon Days, a " musical conductor" was giving a "gospel bounce" in time to the music.
Kind of makes you want to dance. Me, anyway.
And there was a bit of humor, as puppets 2D and Murdoc were throwing popcorn on the audience from the balcony.
So I buy the CD first.
This thing has it all. Sparse mood music, trip hop, an almost gospel feel, light rock, and rock rap. Sometimes in the same song.
The melodies are VERY strong, the rhythms move (tell me you don't want to "snake" to "Dirty Harry"), and the band rocks, even on the more trippy tunes.
I'd advise not only the CD, but also the DVD at the same time.
It's just that good.
Free Music Review: The Best Album of 2005
Hit: 5 Stars
A friend of mine bought the CD and told me I had to listen to it. I borrowed it not really expecting much. My only exposure to Gorillaz had been Clint Eastwood, which I think is an awesome song. I took the CD home, didn't listen, then I popped it into the CD player on my way to return it to him. I had not heard any of the songs on the radio at this point. I was compltely blown away. Not only do I now have the CD, but the concert DVD as well. An excellent piece of music and much better than anything from the treadmill of music we have to listen to these days.
Check it out.
Free Music Review: Watched the concert on DirecTV - now, getting the CD
Hit: 5 Stars
first of all, Mikey's lil angel "lp_streetz_soldier" has no class - you can ignore that post.
I'll be getting this CD very soon, what an awesome concert it was, and only to have it all on CD is so much better...awesome.
Free Music Review: DO NOT BUY THIS CD!
Hit: 1 Stars
When I first bought this cd it was for one reason and one reason only...to get feel good inc. And it was a good song, that along with dare and dirty harry. But beyond that this cd sucks. The music is all either depressing or puts you to sleep. Its quite pathetic. So if you really want one of their singles just download them, but dont buy the cd.Free Music Review: Slow burn makes the attraction compelling
Hit: 4 Stars
When I bought the CD, I was familiar with their three releases - Feel Good Inc, Dare, and El Ma?ana. And the first time I listened, I was disappointed that the album didn't sound more like the releases. I waited a few days and gave the album another shot and some of the other songs started to build a rather peaceful and hypnotic attraction to the volume that gives it a real coherency. It's not just a collection of songs - it's an overall production intended to be heard as it is. The other songs that started calling to me are Dirty Harry, Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head, and then Kids with Guns. They broke the ice and now I can just enjoy the volume in it's entirety.
