Search - Gorillaz :: G-Sides

Sweet but short.

"G-Sides is a nice remix album and if you are a fan of the original Gorrilaz album, you should definitely pick this one up. If you aren't, you probably won't like this one and if you have never heard the Gorillaz, you should check out their first album before you buy this one as it provides a richer and fuller base from which to judge their music.



G-Sides contains only nine tracks. Two of them feel somewhat sub-par next to the others (the Wiseguys remix of 19-2000 and Ghost Train), but several of them are fantastic (the Soul Child remix of 19-2000, Latin Simone, and the Phi Life Cypher remix of Clint Eastwood). The Clint Eastwood remix is essentially unrelated to the original once you move past the bass line, but it is still a fantastic song, so who cares. The rest of the album is solid and 12D3 especially is almost hit material."

Not bad for only 9 tracks...

"For Christmas of 2005, I got Demon Days, by Gorillaz(which I reviewed also on Amazon)and loved it. I met friends at school who liked Gorillaz too, so I have a music library at school, making me almost look forward to school. I'm disappointed that this only has 9 songs, (6 less than Demon Days;7 less than Gorillaz) and also that Gorillaz didn't remix Rock The House or Tommorow Comes Today. But Clint Eastwood Phi Cypher version and 19/2000 (the first song, not the other 19/2000 remix, which is kinda boring) make up for it."
