If I had the vinyl version of the new Gorillaz album, Demon Days, it would be worn out already. I have been playing it on iTunes almost nonstop since I downloaded it on Wednesday. `FeelGood Inc.` is dark and infectious and infinitely replayable, but the album works well as a whole (unlike the cartoon band`s previous releases, which were basically a collection of singles and b-sides). I don`t understand people who prefer the old sound of the project (put together by Blur`s Damon Albarn) over the new, DangerMouse-produced feel. I even like the Dennis Hopper spoken-word bit, “Fire Coming Out of the Monkey`s Head“ (though it is probably the least listenable track on the album).
