Demon Days is the second studio album by virtual rock band Gorillaz, released in 23 May 2005 through Parlophone Records (in conjunction with Virgin Records in the US).It was a considerable New Sound Album with more emphasis on pop music, which resulted in more hits than their previous album. The art style and packaging were also upgraded, with Noodle being re-modeled as an older teenager with a less stereotypically Asian caricatured face."DARE," "Feel Good Inc." and "Dirty Harry" were released as singles, each respectively reaching #1, #2, and #6 on the UK Singles charts, with "Feel Good Inc." going on to become not only one of the band's Signature Songs, but one of the most popular songs of the 2000s.The album peaked at #1 in the UK (where it went sextuple platinum) and #6 in the US (where it went double platinum); it made several lists of the best albums of the year, and went on to make more lists for the best albums of the entire decade.Preceded by Gorillaz. Followed by Plastic Beach. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Demon Days (Album) (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: This album is bleaker than the band's self-titled debut, with lyrics about death, despair and gun violence among children. Even the album cover illustrates this. | |

Only Sane Man: Invoked in-universe - Noodle penned the song "Last Living Souls" out of the feelings of isolation she gained from hearing the dreadful state of pop culture at the time. The song itself deals with the idea of being the only compassionate beings left in an increasingly cynical world. | |

A Day in the Limelight: The videos for "DARE" and "El Mañana" focus on Noodle. The other three made cameos in "DARE"; Murdoc is the only one with lines and speaks only a sentence. Noodle says in an interview that the reason 2D and Russel were WTFing during the video is because she didn't warn any of them that she was going to record the clip. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Demon Days (Album) (Music) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: When 2D starts singing in "Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head", it transitions from a nice fairy tale to a song where people are dying due to greed, though said message ultimately parallels what happens in the fairy tale. | |

| Demon Days (Album) (Music) / int_aa4a4c57 | comment |
Kids Rock: A school choir sings the refrain of "Dirty Harry": "I need a gun / to keep myself from harm." The kids seen in the "Dirty Harry" video are apparently based on the children from that choir. | |

Perfectly Cromulent Word: In "Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head," Dennis Hopper describes the eruption of The Mountain Called Monkey as "a castrophany." Presumably, this is a portmanteau of "cacophony" and "catastrophe." | |

Shout-Out | |
| Demon Days (Album) (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The album cover is a homage to the one on The Beatles' Let It Be. Inside the album's booklet, the pages for "Every Planet We Reach is Dead" has another shout-out in which the band members strike poses that mimic the album cover of Help!. "Kids with Guns" quotes from "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa. "Dirty Harry" is a titular reference to Dirty Harry, continuing the Clint Eastwood imagery that started with the song "Clint Eastwood" on their first album "Gorillaz." The image on the musical single is a helmet, referencing the poster of Full Metal Jacket. The music video of "DARE" shows the statue of Pazuzu, a reference to The Exorcist. Ryder's head being kept alive is a shout-out to The Brain That Wouldn't Die and Russel's newspaper has the line "Cannibal Massakren," the Danish title of Cannibal Holocaust. The zoom on Noodle's eye is a reference to TheRing. | |

Peace & Love Incorporated | |
| Demon Days (Album) (Music) / int_ca4e05a4 | comment |
Peace & Love Incorporated: "Feel Good Inc." The Nightmare Fuel-filled video depicts the male band members apparently trapped in one of these. It's not clear what Feel Good Inc. actually does, if anything, but the building is a tall tower set in a dystopian wasteland, with creepy red lighting in the tower and TV screens showing film of people laughing insanely. The atmosphere inside, with most of the guests lying around in stupor, implies a brothel, nightclub or drug den, perhaps all at once. 2D kind of brings up that Gorillaz are the ones who made the tower in the first place, so it's like they were wallowing in their success until it, for lack of a better word, fermented. | |

Russel's creepy look at the camera while driving the car in the music video of "Dirty Harry." The colossal face without a body in the music video of "DARE."

War Is Hell: "Dirty Harry" is set in a desert with Bootie Brown appearing dressed as a soldier. At the time the war in Iraq was a hot topic and it's difficult not to interpret the song being about this, especially seeing the band previously criticized George W. Bush's invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. A direct reference to Bush's televised speech in 2003 in a flight suit after Iraq had been conquered and Saddam Hussein driven away, when the president declared his mission accomplished. | |
