This album is definately not for everyone. It's for all the jaded people out there who are sick of the typical pop songs and stuff that are playing on radios nowadays. Since I'm one of them, it's refreshing that Gorillaz are doing something out of the ordinary.
If you hate this album, I suggest you stick with N'sync or Britney Spears for bubble gum pop. (or whatever that fancies you)

This CD is the perfect combo of great songs. Clint Eastwood is probably the best, followed by 19-2000, Rock the House, and 5/4. The songs are a perfect blend of todays music styles. Hip-hop, rap, alternative rock, punk, disco, and even latin(!). The edited version doesn't change anything that much. Except bleep out a few words (duh!). Overall a very good CD. A must have!

I cant believe all these people gave this CD a good rating. I bought it thinking that all of the songs were going to be like " Clint Eastwood", you know with a little rap, but some singing. Well let me tell you that this was soon to be found out not to be the case. A lot of the songs are weak, and its more sound FX than song, and the singer just wails in a lot of the tracks. The only relatively good song on this album are, "5/4", "Clint Eastwood", "Double bass"(Although its all instrumentals, and keeps repeating itself), "Rock the house", and "19-2000". So if you asked me if you should buy this CD I would say NO.

Despite what one reviewer here might have you believe, Damon Albarn, co-creator of Gorillaz and singer of Blur, is not anti-American. He disliked it for a while, sure, because Blur had bad experiences in the early years with their record company. And those "quaint songs about men chasing women" and such are meant as satire of English stereotypes, not glorifying of them. Well, I'm off point here. That was then, this is now...and after six albums from the terrific Blur and only one US hit (that fact makes me very sad indeed...) Damon's finally hit the big time with this project. This is a very diverse record, fairly rambling at times but with some great tunes. There's something here for just about anyone...if you were attracted by the funky groove of "clint eastwood" you may well like 5/4, Tomorrow Comes Today or 19-2000. If hip-hop or rap is your thing...say, the rap is your favourite part of CE, Rock the House is for you. There's pretty, blissed out slow songs like Slow Country (a personal favourite, if only for the way Damon sings "whatchoo doin'?") and more driving rockers (M1A1, Punk) that recall some of Blur's earlier, punky material. A few weak moments keep this from getting a five, but overall an intriguing listen. And if you're like me and aren't fond of profanity, this edited version is a good choice...not much is removed, since there only appear to be two songs with any cursing.
