Gorillaz - D-Sides

Gorillaz D-Sides CoverJust a quick review this one. When I originally saw that the 'Rillaz were releasing another "b-sides" collection to accompany their Demon Days album (similar to 2002's G-Sides, released after their eponymous first album), I decided that I was going to buy it. Then I forgot to.

Then the other day, I was browsing through the iTunes Store on my iPod Touch (which was nice), and I saw it, and bought it immediately (actually my first ever iTunes Store purchase, believe it or not).

It's a much better effort that G-Sides, which contined only a couple of new tracks alongside a few remixes and additional tracks. D-Sides features, in the main, a pile of brand-new tracks and original versions that went on to become tracks on Demon Days, alongside some remixes, the Hot Chip remix of Kids With Guns being a standout track among them.

I'm not going to do a track-by-track analysis, I'll just say that I've been listening to it in the car and in work for the past couple or three days, and it's becoming a favourite. A bit like the way Demon Days took a few listens to warm up to, before becoming one of my all-time favourite albums, this is taking several listens to get into its' groove. My favourite track? It's gotta be Bill Murray.
