Great Album. Unfortunately, it's the only one I have by EBTG, but it's remarkable. I bought the Japanese version, with some bonus tracks but – I admit – driven by missing. Then I understood many things. Congratulations on your choice, you've reviewed perhaps one of the best club/dance albums of the '90s.

If it helps, the topic: Albarn is a great artist because 1. he contributed to the birth and development of the brit-pop genre, advancing the English musical journey towards new solutions while celebrating and updating 30 years of great British rock 2. he introduced England to the beauty of the American indie/lo-fi sound, blending it with his Beatles/Kinks roots 3. he rediscovered ancient, tribal, and forgotten music like that of Mali, creating a project to bring the greatest talented African artists here (I even saw them and I have to thank him) 4. he had a blast jokingly inventing the Gorillaz, forming -first on earth- a multimedia group worthy of its time, so much so that the toy became such a musical phenomenon. Yes, Blur was MY band of the '90s. But this is a title due to emotional value, do I need to explain it? I didn't say they were the best band of the decade (even though they come close), the one that made me cry or the one that saved my life, simply the one I'm most attached to for my own reasons. On the other hand, I like the Gorillaz because Albarn, feeling that he had nothing to lose with them (unlike the great reputation and responsibility he carries with Blur), feels free and light, as if he can do whatever he wants without the weight of judgment. He can be silly, letting loose both irony and hip hop or dub, and a pure and playful freedom to create is a precious thing these days.

In my opinion, you’ve lost your minds... or you have nothing to do from morning to night to waste your time like this... and then you both messed up: maybe we should create a Frankenstein from the union of Francis and Alexander... it might turn out to be a normal guy (?)

This is a great album. If I had known you were going to trash it like that, I would have written the review myself. Damon Albarn is an extraordinary artist, and the effervescent creativity of this album proves it. If he’s a genius, only time will tell. But after Think Tank I was worried about his musical health, and Demon Days brought back my smile. And if Blur was MY band throughout the '90s, well… if they keep it up, Gorillaz could become my band for all my '00s.

My aim was to provide a compendium on the Smiths to the two existing reviews, as if now, together, they were all complementary. I hope I succeeded and have put a small seal on Morrissey & co. Anyway, I have defined the Smiths as a cult band in comparison to the colossal stories of their contemporaries like REM or U2. Even in England.

I have the album by Can The Can, with a different cover, in color, with her in the center, even fiercer. One of the great women of '70s euro rock, the Abba were just softies compared to her.
