Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 76.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

I grew up with Gorillaz (starting with Demon Days,) and working backwards has been strange. That album is definitely more accessible, but this isn't Demon Days. It's more ambitious, in that it isn't afraid to try all kinds of different sounds that still work with one another really well. Damon Albarn gets his hands everywhere. He mastered britpop and rock, he kicked it with Massive Attack, and now he made a kind of hip hop that no one else makes. Damn amazing.

Truly remarkable how Damon Albarn can go from Blur to this. Much like Radiohead, he was able to blend genres to create a new, attention-getting sound. Most kids from my generation can recite the lyrics to Clint Eastwood with ease, and reasonably so. Great debut.

A pretty solid first album that combines a lot of hip hop and alt rock. A lot of catchy, memorable songs make it stand out, however its somewhat overshadowed by what Gorillaz would do in their second and third albums.

Favorite tracks: Tomorrow Comes Today, Clint Eastwood, Sound Check (Gravity), 19-2000, Latin Simone (Edited)

Not as remarkable as Demon Days, but it's a great album all the same. Its lack of polish makes it a whole other experience; one you may or may not like. Clint Eastwood, 5/4, and Latin Simone (¿Que Pasa Contigo?) still compete with Gorillaz' later stuff, while Sound Check (Gravity), Re-hash, and Rock The House create an atmosphere that makes listening to the album as a whole a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Still highly recommended, but Demon Days is a masterpiece.

Thankfully, the second half of the record holds up just as well as the first. With "Gorillaz", Albarn has tapped into the quirky side of him and created a memorable album with some brilliant tracks ("Clint Eastwood", "Tomorrow Comes Today"). Capable of being both exuberant and dark whilst juggling genres, this is an interesting record that holds your attention throughout.
