first album I bought was the college dropout by Kanye. That was the album that impacted me the most. I know a lot of people don’t like Kanye or think he’s overrated or whatever but I always thought damon albarn and Kanye west were both like super geniuses because I really loved gorillaz first album and demon days probably even more and I kinda wish they made a project together because to me, they were both super geniuses and I remember one of my friends was super into danger mouse and mf doom at the time. Damn, memories lol

I’m honestly surprised people don’t realize how much money it takes to build the world around Gorillaz; the album, the tours, promo, animation, merch, it can’t all be done by Damon and Jamie alone, even if they are owned by Warner.

Gorillaz effectively died because EMI wouldn't pay out. I had to wonder how on earth it ever came back, when I heard Warner bought EMI out, it clicked.

I love how the lore behind Gorillaz is just as interesting as the actual Gorillaz lore.

Feel Good Inc is actually the reason I got into being a musician. It made me learn bass, I then moved onto guitar, now I'm in a band. Thanks Gorillaz

First time I heard Gorillaz was when I was four. I finally began to seek them out when I was 14. Their attitude really affected the way I chose which artists and genres to listen to. It's always nice to see people talking about them :) Can't wait for the video to premiere.

I see a lot of parallels to my life here. Demon Dayz came out when i was around 14 and its made a huge impact on how I take in music. Down to Danger Mouse being my favorite producer of all time who helped produce Demon Dayz, and later went on to produce from everyone from Asap Rocky to The Black Keys. Really opened my eyes to what people can do with different genres blended. That's really the spirit of Gorillaz.

First time I heard Gorillaz I was about 24 😢

I remember going to Target to get this album as a teenager. My moms boyfriend took me. Told him, I wanted Demon Days because of Feel Good Inc. He said, you want one cd for one song? I said yes. (Back in those days, I didn't know how to hear the rest of the album without purchasing the entire thing). My moms bf at the time said I was an idiot for getting the cd for one song. Well, Gorillaz are now one of my most favorite bands of all time. I know you called me an idiot, Tony, but you still bought me the CD. Thank you.

However, the songs may be written by Gorillaz but that doesn't necessarily mean they own the songs. EMI owns the rights to the songs and the decision to bid it off to Apple for use in their commercial could have been made by EMI and not Gorillaz. At the end of the day EMI is a company, a business, and they have a responsibility to their owners/shareholders regardless of if they are publicly traded or privately owned. The decision could have been made without Damon/Jamie's input at all.

You crushed this. Well formulated and executed. Learned a lot about an album I was playing on repeat left and right in ‘05. I was all over the debut so this one was highly anticipated. Feel Good Inc was my jam instantly. It was so unique and had spectacular tempo shifts. I was relentlessly trying to put people on the Gorillaz with it. Thx for the video.

Finally talking about a record that I have in my collection myself. Gorillaz will always have a special place in my heart. First "band" I ever fully called my favorite. Ever since I was a kid, and the cartoons caught my pee brained attention span.

Very thorough and well done mini-doc on the album and related info. GREAT JOB!

Demon Days is one of the best albums of all time, in my opinion. It's just so insanely good. One night I dropped acid alone in my house, and I listened to it beginning to end, and it was one of the best nights of my life. Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head is a standout track, along with Kids With Guns. The production is so tight, Danger Mouse really deserves some credit on this one. The music almost has a voice of it's own, like on O Green World, when I was tripping the beat itself took the form of a monkey who was silly and whimsical. The notes sounding like the mischevious monkey was laughing at me. I can still hear it if I listen to it now.

You have made a perfect road map for me to follow, on how this album came into being. Very informative and well done. Thank you.

Excellent video ! I used to listen to Demon Days on loop back when I was working for Virgin Megastore in Beirut. Still listening to it today and ripped the audio from the DVD's of concerts recorded in Manchester and Harlem.

I was 9 years old when this album came out and I instantly was in love. Still one of my favourite albums to date! Im 23 now

recently fallen back in love with gorillaz and blur, basically anything to do with Damon albarn - what a talented guy 💓

i remember seeing the video for Feel Good Inc. on MTV when i was 13 and having the chorus and animation instantly burned into my brain. this album is a landmark in music history. thank you for this well-made and informative video

I remember I picked up one of their cds back I'm the day where u could scan a CD at a station in store and hear some tracks play. I loved it so much but was told not to listen to it by my mom, but heard them again later when I was 15 or 16 and never stopped listening or following them since. Gorillaz are my #1 favorite always!

This is my favorite album of all time, and I loved how much I learned. I had no idea other names were almost chosen or about the movie. Absolutely phenomenal video! If you’re looking into other topics, you should look into something on Spiritualized and Spaceman J

And there you go, you knocked it out of the park again with this video. Excellent stuff man!

Awesome record and great vid as always!! Gorillaz is one of my favourite bands ❤️

Love this insight on the album, amazing job!

This is so cool and ironic. I was listening to this album getting dinner tonight and walking back to the gym. It is so iconic and one of my favorite albums of all time. Thank you guys so much for doing this video Damon Albarn and Danger Mouse really created a masterpiece with this work. Definitely my favorite Gorillaz album, one of the few albums that I remember buying the day it came out and I didn't know what to expect. I was completely blown away and it still captures that feeling on every single listen.

Excelent video! Really really well explained! Thanks for doing it!

It's DAAAAAAARREEEEEE!

Your degrees and experience paid off , this was a very well made video. Your 60s/70s set is perfect, as well as your line delivery and imagery. The only negative thing noticeably apparent is you kept saying "THE Gorillaz" instead of Gorillaz.

I love when you do 2000's vinyl reviews and stories. Such nostalgia.

Outstanding content dude, such a shame this a criminally underrated channel. Keep it up, you'll blow up in no time!

Man you're work is amazing!

I'm actually just now starting to get into Gorillaz. I grew up with "Feel Good Inc." And always thought it was a pretty cool song, but I never realized how much of a backstory there is behind the discography. Listened to "Demon Days" for the first time today, and I was blown away. When I heard that MF Doom feature, my jaw dropped. There wasnt a single song on this album that I didnt enjoy, and I am excited to learn more about this group and dive deeper into their music. "Every Planet We Reach Is Dead" is hands down one of the best songs I've ever heard, PERIOD.

Amazing video, keep up the good work 🖤

Demon Days was a huge inspiration for me to start creating my own music, and diving into the realm of recording and layering tracks. That album and Think Tank

Yasssssss please do more Gorillaz on the future! Nice job

One of my absolute favorite albums to this day

Never knew they ever played Fire Coming Out Of The Monkeys Head live, much less that they ever did it with Dennis Hopper there. You always make super informative videos.

The album changed my life. When I first heard feel good inc I listened to it like 6 times that day. Now every time I listen to Demon Days I have to listen to it all the way through, and it brings a smile to my face.

One of my favourite KZread channels discusses one my all time favourite records, love it 😊 Another great review.

great insights and look at a classic album.. thank you

Amazing insight. Well done. Adam from San Diego. (We hung out at Kessler’s going away party)

This album was the first one that really challenged my ideas of what music could be and that emotion could be fully articulated through it. First and probably only album that has made me cry, no lie.

One of the best album ever in my heart, cried during live

3:57 - 2D and 3D together.

Demon Days was pretty much my entire high school experience. I went to school and then after school I'd listen to Demon Days. i know the album front to back and it's amazing. That being said even with all that it's still not my favorite Gorrillaz album. Amazing song writing and production though. Love November Has Come and Every Planet.

By far my favorite Album they created, so many memories as a child!

i excpected the facts to be interesting, but youve exceeded my expectations. Lovely video, thouroughly engaged

Phenomenal video!!!

This album is easily one of the best of the 21st century

I said it for many years now that Damon Albarn is the David Bowie of this generation, a musician who will go down many different routes and doesn't churn out the same album twice. From Blur, to Gorillaz to The Good, The Bad, The Queen to his solo work to his work as a film composer. The guy's a genius, not many of those around today. I think Demon Day's is probably his masterpiece, along with Blur Self Titled or Modern Life is Rubbish. I think follow up Gorillaz album Plastic Beach is every bit as great. The following albums aren't as strong but still got some fantastic stuff on them.

About the same time for me, funny enough, even though I liked the first album, I never heard Demon Days except for the singles for years. Listened to the whole thing for the first time in 2014 while I was tripping alone on acid. One of the chief experiences of my life. I will never forget that night, or this album, or how it had me absolutely transfixed. To this day one of my very favorite albums.

Great and informative video!

One of my favorite albums of all time.

Good stuff, man!

Gotta say, I still love the first album the most. It's always been a harsh competition, but the rawer, less pop-inspired sound with harsher instrumental tones just makes it for me. Much more unique. Got it when it came out and I was only a nipper at 6. Fucking incredible and it's never left me.

Demon days envelopes itself in detail and eclectic nuance. It unravels with time and maturity. A GREAT ALBUM.

I've always felt this was their best album because of the way that Damon Albarn and Danger Mouse worked together, it's definitely the most successful album after the first one. The way the compositions were arranged by Danger Mouse was amazing, especially on songs like "Kids With Guns". He also became one of my "producers to watch" after The Grey Album dropped because that was one of the best mash-ups (production wise) ever created. I'm a fan of later Gorillaz albums, as well as other Danger Mouse productions, however I still think that this might be both artist's best effort to date.

I love this video!!!!

Great Video!
