4.0 out of 5 stars About the extras, November 27, 2007

By	Pen Name? "fluxus" (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews

I've already just written a full review of the album under the regular release listing, but to comment on the extras that you'll get with the deluxe set I will post here.
In the deluxe set you get a nice black box package, with a stamped lid that comes fully off to open the package. Inside there is a cardboard, 2 disc slip case with the discs included and a track listing on the back with the times of each track. You get the booklet, which is likely the same as the regular edition, though I can't be certain. There is a sheet of 4 stickers with 1 of each of the Gorillaz. There are 4 buttons which have Gorillaz related designs, though they aren't "Gorillaz" badges or buttons. There are 2 Gorillaz art prints that are pretty cool (I don't know if different ones are inserted in different sets, or if everyone gets the same ones.) There is also a sew-on patch relating to the album artwork. And that's all. So, while I like the box and am pleased with the extras, I'm sure most fans won't necessarily want to pay extra for buttons, stickers, a patch and a couple art cards. So, assess how devoted the fan you're buying for is before making your decision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yay!, December 5, 2007

A Kid's Review

This album is amazing. I love the songs, especially "Hong Kong", "Dirty Harry (Chinese New Year Version)" and "Feel Good Inc (Stanton Warriors Remix)". I was thrilled when I read about it on Wikipedia, and I think the extras are worth it (yay stickers!). There are some songs I don't like (Jamie T's Remix of "Kids With Guns" should NOT be listened to by anyone under 13, woe is me), but otherwise this album is great. It balances out soft, mellow songs with loud, rocker ones. This album is a great addition to the already awesome story of Gorillaz, and I hope that they come back with more great stuff for all the Gorillaz fans out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than D-Sides, February 28, 2008

By	Ryan Lewis "Ryatan" (Bay Area, CA.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This set is leaps and bounds above any other "collector's edition" cd's I've seen. First of all, the D-Sides album is incredible. Aside from a few lackluster tracks, it's a complete album comparable to Demon Days. Disc 2 is one of the best remix albums next to Laika Come Home. The packaging is the real winner here. The two disc digipak cd comes in a black box inluding 4 pins, 2 sketches of Gorillaz, a patch, stickers and a booklet. If you're not convinced yet check out Hong Kong or Stop the Damns - some of the best Gorillaz tracks thusfar produced. Disc 2 highlight is Kids with Guns (Turn to Monsters) - a completely new take. Forget the basic edition and pick this up.

And be prepared for a third album. Demand it in fact!
