Book Reviews of Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre
Book Review: A must have. Period.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book floored me. If you consider yourself a fan of Gorillaz, this book is an absolute treasure. The sheer volume of artwork revealed upon every turn of the page is, by itself, more than worth the price.
The song by song insight into the original Gorillaz albumn and Demon Days is by far my favorite part of the book. I listened to the albumns through earphones to catch every detail as I read along. I will never forget the feeling.
And in the exact middle of the book, there is a great chart. It looks like a New York subway map, and shows what each bandmember has listened to. It is a guide to the musical influences of Gorillaz. And it is a great way to see what music you have listened to, and what music you should.
I give "Rise of the Ogre" an easy 5 stars.
Summary of Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre
The graphic novel meets the salacious rock and roll celebrity tell- all.Gorillaz-bass-player mastermind Murdoc Niccals, hip hop hardman drummer Russel Hobbs, Japanese girl-guitarist Noodle and spiky blue-haired singer 2D-have lived the rock & roll life that other stars can only dream of-rife with demonic possessions, underworld dealings, amnesia, prison terms, and jaw-dropping stupidity.
Conceived by musician Damon Albarn and comic book creator Jamie Hewlett, Gorillaz have reconfigured the musical landscape, uniquely encapsulating the creative spirit of the digital age. In Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre the Gorillaz put mouth to paper, revealing the complete story of this groundbreaking band from inception to fame-and all the depraved misadventures along the way.
