Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre

Product Information

From the tongue-in-cheek description of their inception by the band 'members', to the sly commentary by both Hewlett and Damon Albarn, great stuff. I do wish they continued with the audio book though, because I really enjoyed reading along with the voice actors. Feel free to contact one our staff team members for help, or visit our Discord server for more information. The book was a little difficult to trek through at times and I found it occasionally somewhat boring because I don't read autobiographies, but the entertaining characters and stories kept me going.

And there, while Maazu was distracted by a heated bout of 'Drink While You Think', she lopped off its head.

Originally named 'Gorilla', the band underwent some changes before settling on their current lineup. followed him to his car, which drove him to West London, where he was reunited with Murdoc, Russel and Noodle. Russel became the country's biggest attraction, and 'I survived Pulgasari' t-shirts became the nation's fastest selling fashion item.

Unable even to catch crabs (which was more Murdoc's forte), 2D had no option but to eat his former host. Whether you're a long time fan of Gorillaz or just having discovered them, this is a excellent book to read if you're willing to know about about the character's backstories, the interpretation of the songs, and the creative process of how the Gorillaz came around. Even though it tells the tale of the beginning and rise, fall, and second skyrocketing rise of the band, it is written in a way meant to be read by die hards. If the idea of reading the fake biography of a fake band wasn’t intriguing enough, then what about what about reading the fake biography about a fake band that included awesome illustrations?

Small lower rear corner tear to jacket with small nick also to top front corner of DJ spine, light rubbing to DJ and usage only, internally VG+ and unmarked. The motion and the atmosphere in some of his rough sketches is stunning; the examples that come to mind are the D-day storyboard and the El Mañana storyboard. But he stayed the rest of the year anyway, until he got sacked from his job weaving friendship bracelets. Russel Hobbs had always put on weight easily, so when he grew sixty times in size swimming to Plastic Beach, he thought it might be his thyroid.

The way Noodle described her isolation during the writing of Demon Days was so good and gave her a sort of depth and drive her character really lacks usually. The book is funny and very well written, and the characters show tons of personality (and the crazier side of me still wants to believe this virtual band isn't so virtual) as shown through their interviews.

They are a work that is imperfect in the make as much as in character, and there is a sense of the creators (rightly) being in this for their own satisfaction which kind of hurts the narrative; when you learn on the internet that they've taken time apart out of differences and that they're sometimes tired of Murdoc, 2D, Noodle and Russell, that is the reason, and similarly, the times when this book is a hit off are so because you want to treat them, you have been made to treat these characters like characters, not masks, so the fact that they can be pulled off disconcerts and feels like a deprivation. Unfortunately, my phone screen is much too small to be able to read the damn thing without zooming in and out an infinite number of times. The art style was the same as the art from the Gorrilaz music videos and the visuals as well as language work very good together.

Gorillaz have seriously impressed me with the levels that Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett have gone to to NOT take credit for the band and to make the four characters seem real. Written in promotion of Demon Days back in 2006, this “autobiography” focuses on the lore behind the band members, what brought them together in universe and the inspiration behind their music via interviews and narrations. While I can only recommend this book to hardcore Gorillaz fans, I can definitely say it should show a little bit of insight into the offbeat nature and musical style of the group to nonlisteners and a look into Jamie Hewlett's great art. Celebrating 20 years of Gorillaz, this latest Z2 partnership sees Hewlett expand the band’s collaborative vision to fellow visual artists in The Gorillaz Art Book, a stunning visual feast of 288 pages. The regime's Glorious Leader declared that he'd captured Pulgasari, the legendary North Korean Godzilla.The book also pays homage to many of the legendary stars that have worked on the first two records and reminisces on the many difficulties they had to put up with early on in the project (for instance, live performances). Celebrating 20 years of Gorillaz, this latest Z2 partnership sees Hewlett expand the band’s collaborative vision to fellow visual artists in The Gorillaz Art Book, a stunning visual feast of 306 pages.
