Usually the listener comments bring out more negativity than warranted by a song's ranking, but it is the opposite here.  I would expect Demon Days to be ranked higher than 6.5.

Love that rich harmonic, wall-of-sound sound of Gospel choir vocals!  Gotta be where Phil Spector got the idea...

I bought that CD a while back.  TOTALLY creative and very unpredictable album.  Kind of a mash of 8 different styles.

The beginning of the song (before the gospel choir) is totally channelling Prince. In a good way!

This always puts me in mind of The Friends of Mr Cairo.

Oh, Nicholas Cage. Scary thought. Perhaps we should best leave that one be.

Gorillaz - Demon Days
Broken Bells - Your Head Is On Fire

I'm continually amazed by both Danger Mouse's and Damon Albarn's uncanny command of rock idioms and their ability to quote them seamlessly in a new work. IMHO both "Your Head Is On Fire" and "Demon Days" are fine examples. One wonders what a collaboration between the two would produce.

Saw Gorillaz live two weeks ago and they wrapped the show with this song.  Unbelievable show!  Don't miss them if they come to your town.  Damon Albarn is a friggin genius.

The fuzzed out sound at the beginning of this song is just horrible. Same sound my old vinyl records used to make when there was dust on the needle.

Really?  I can't get behind the first several tracks on Plastic Beach.  Love the rest tho.

My favorite is still the original album.  But I'm a huge fan of both Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Dan the Automator, and also the album feels more cohesive to me - like I'm listening to an actual band instead of Damon Alburn and his ever-rotating roster of guest vocalists.

Just a guess, but from some of the comments, I think that the album cover may be a bit off-putting to some of us listeners. This is not one of my favorite RP songs, BTW, but it's okay by me.

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.

SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:
Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:
Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to 'ave to get up out of shoebox at twelve o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongue. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two wit' bread knife.

FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:
Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

IMO, one of the greatest pieces of live music I've ever seen.  The fact that the DVD lost that years grammy to Springsteen makes me ill. 
 

watched it the other night...finally saw it from beginning to end (before i had seen it on tv on the 101 channel and missed its beginning.

so much fun. really great performance. has some cool extras on the dvd, too.
