Negative review on Demon Days

     Demon Days by Gorillaz is the most bland album that anyone would here in this day in age. The lead singer of this album has no felling when he is sinning the lyrics, also the words in the song do not make sense. When comparing this album to one of Disturbed, they talk about how people should not give into anger and other stuff. But in Demon Days they mostly sing about stuff that is hard to make out and it sometimes doesn't make  sense which can be a real pain in the neck to understand.
     Another thing that is bothering is how the music is formatted, at first they would play some guitar music then in the middle of the song they would have a different person singing a completely different genre of music. One of the things that you may have notice about this band is that the members of this group are cartoon characters instead of live people. The type of theme that the artwork is based upon is a gothic feel to it. It might be interesting to others but gothic type artworks can be strange and feel creepy from time to time.
     Although the idea of having a cartoon based band is kind of cleaver it can also be a problem because in most bands they have their members with back stories that people can relate to or that is similar. But if the members of the band are cartoon or not real than nobody can look up to them or relate to them because they are not real or are not given a back story. Also the artwork of the music video is hard to understand because most of the times it is hard to make sense of whats going on in the video and with the lyrics to the song doesn't help that much either.
     In conclusion Demon Days by Gorillaz is just another strange album that does not need to be bothered with. If you wanted to hear a song that make sense and has a good beat to it, then do not listen to this because it doesn't deliver both.

  1. It's interesting that you bring up their artwork for the band members. I'm not sure how relevant that would be to their actual sound, but maybe if you added a review of a music video of theirs to this it would mean more.

  2. I think bad mouthing the band as a whole because of their cartoon characters is a solid part of your review. I found myself wanted to know more about the lapses in the music.
