Summary: Awesome CD!
Comment: I think this is the Gorillaz' second best album!! I love th "Hot Chip Remix" on the second CD, and I think it's one of the best remixes I've ever herd. I really recommend getting this CD, I'ts worth your money!

Summary: JSNM (Just Starked Naked Magic)
Comment: D-Sides (Deluxe Edition)
When I got my first credit card I said to myself: whatever of Gorillaz stuff is released, I will not look for it in local shops - I just know it isn't there. Well, except CDs and DVDs, but you know, Russian distributors would rather churn out a lot of illegal poor-looking-and-sounding copies than spending their precious money on BLEH! LICENSED ONES! I got pretty fed up with that, and I gave up coming to local music shops. My chums have no experience of on-line shopping at all and are sure it's so damn expensive they can't afford it; therefore they say I'm crazy. And you know what? After getting D-SIDES I got convinced I'm obviously not.
The first thing I saw when I removed the cardboard, was hard black CD-sized box, wrapped in film that had a sticker with the description of content and a picture of 2-D, sneering at me. What was inside? First of all, a set of 4 charming badges picturing Gorillaz-related symbols every experienced admirer of the fantastic four must have seen. 4 stickers of fantastic four, finally, to attach to your forehead and let the world to see you love the biggest band in the world. Then, a sew-on patch with a picture of Pazuzu. 2 CDs, of course, as promised. Need I say about musical content? DIVINELY. The only question is: why on Earth didn't they include Mr Softy's Balloon Race?!
I can't help saying about two art prints, also included, as I think those are the cream of the set. Anyway, looking at the marvellously done pencil drawings, a bit grey and smeared by Jamie's hand, makes my day. For me, to get them was like to get a desired gift on my birthday. It's a lot like meeting the author in person. It's a living art. And these pale sketches are much dearer for me than hundreds of coloured.
And a booklet of some already familiar artworks. :)
Feels like Gorillaz possess kinda recipe of success behind the doors of KONG, otherwise how do they manage to organize their stuff in the way it literally shines with pure, naked magic? Maybe the answer is they do what they're supposed to do, and love what they do. Damon rocks. Jamie is genius. Murdoc is God. My advice: if there's no place in your town where you can buy Gorillaz stuff, if you want a piece of something real, a REAL THING spending your money on which you'll never regret, if you highly value works of an author - do add D-Sides to your cart and proceed to checkout. You'll thank me.

Summary: Demon Nights
Comment: While Gorillaz previous B-Side album "G-Sides" was underwhelming at best, "D-Sides" is an authentic and sound glance at Gorillaz. Not every song on the CD's are necessarily amazing, truth be told a few are downright annoying, however the majority of the tracks are standout and some should've made it on "Demon Days". The Deluxe Edition includes stickers, album art, a patch, a few buttons and a whole hell of a lot of fan service. This isn't any ordinary b-side, its basically Demon Days 1.5

Summary: More than D-Sides
Comment: This set is leaps and bounds above any other "collector's edition" cd's I've seen. First of all, the D-Sides album is incredible. Aside from a few lackluster tracks, it's a complete album comparable to Demon Days. Disc 2 is one of the best remix albums next to Laika Come Home. The packaging is the real winner here. The two disc digipak cd comes in a black box inluding 4 pins, 2 sketches of Gorillaz, a patch, stickers and a booklet. If you're not convinced yet check out Hong Kong or Stop the Damns - some of the best Gorillaz tracks thusfar produced. Disc 2 highlight is Kids with Guns (Turn to Monsters) - a completely new take. Forget the basic edition and pick this up.
And be prepared for a third album. Demand it in fact!
