    The first disc of this double album set is evenly split between sketches and absolute gems.
  2. Uncut
    60
    Gorillaz' second round-up of offcuts, noodles and sketches still has an excellent strike rate. [Dec 2007, p.84]

    For simian disco, electro-pop remixes by DFA and Hot Chip stand out amid Disc 2's uneven DJ fodder. [Jan 2008, p.98]
  5. Drowned In Sound

    Trouble is, B-sides have never exactly been Albarn’s strong suit, thanks mainly to his incurable dilettantism and aforementioned onanistic tendencies.

    40
    Unsurprisingly for a 2D project, it's all a little flat. [Dec 2007, p.121]

Hong Kong is so good. Stop the Dams is so good. Murdoc is God is good. Spitting out the demons is good. The Swagga is very good. 68 State is very good.
    Bill Murray is good. Hongkongaton is very good. People i prefer over Dare. We are happy landfill is an awesome track too. Actually the entire album is so good that you should listen to it if you have not or had already.

The first disc that is... the second disc is mostly mediocre remixes. But the first disc alone is worth the 10/10 score. Highlights: "Hong Kong" "Stop The Dams"… Full Review »
