I've been a fan of this compilation since 2007, but I'm really disappointed with the packaging for this version. It looks poorly designed, with the old logo and no Demon Days font (Century Gothic).
I've been looking forward to giving this a spin on vinyl since my high school days when it first dropped on CD. Back then, I was all about it. Sadly, it hasn't aged quite as gracefully as I'd hoped. Listening to it now, with more seasoned musical tastes, it's clear why so much of this ended up on the cutting room floor. Trying to slot any of these tracks into the Demon Days lineup just doesn't work. It's not all bad, but some bits do clash with the aesthetic of Demon Days. Most of the music is intriguing enough to warrant the album's existence, but there are a few duds that aren't worth anyone's time unless you're into that sort of thing. As expected with a B-sides collection, most of it lacks the polish and production quality of DD. Not much here is worth revisiting. "People" is basically a weak, early version of "Dare" without a catchy hook. "Rockit" feels unfinished, judging by its "lyrics". You can sense its potential, but something's missing, and most tracks here are like that. "68 State" is decent but clearly unfinished, lacking lyrics altogether, and Gorillaz don't usually do instrumental tracks. It was obviously meant to have lyrics, but they probably didn't think it fit with the rest of the album. "Hong Kong" is fantastic but almost twice as long as any other DD track, so I get why it was dropped. A seven-minute track in the middle of an album full of three and four-minute tracks would disrupt the flow no matter where you place it. Most of the remixes are forgettable, except maybe Jamie T's Turn to Monsters Mix, which is the only one that does something unique or original enough to be interesting. I doubt I'll ever give the third disc another listen. Even though it's a bit rough, D-sides serves as a great reminder of how perfect Demon Days is. There's some solid music here, but a lot of it feels incomplete. Knowing a track like "Stop the Dams" wasn't good enough for them has given me a greater appreciation for the care and consideration that went into the composition, track selection, and arrangement of Demon Days.
This was pretty much the final piece I required for my Gorillaz collection, and I gotta say, it’s truly a fantastic record, possibly one of the best quality Gorillaz records I own. My sole gripe is that the cover is pretty worn out but that’s kinda my fault, the seller I purchased it from wasn’t all that great.
I couldn't agree more with those who said this record is an absolute masterpiece! It's fantastic in every way. My copy is completely silent and sounds incredibly amazing!!!
This album is amazing, and I'm thrilled it's finally available on vinyl. The audio quality is incredible, and I'd definitely suggest it to any Gorillaz enthusiast out there.
