...Demon Days...
...Gorillaz Demon Days; $13.49 Very few good albums make as bad a first impression as Demon Days. The cartoon characters on the front cover, the irritatingly meaningless track names (Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head) and the menacing prefatory oboes (oboes!) make it seem like a concept album about global warming for kids.

In her story, Chamundeshwari Devi resoundingly defeats the strong and relentless demon Mahisha in a 10-day battle, during which Mahisha transforms from a man to a tiger to a bull. In the fast-paced opening scene, purple, orange, and magenta costumes ran across the stage. Eight dancers with plastered smiles, kajol-lined eyes, and waist-length hair extensions wore the full...
