It's really a piece unlike any other and it is such a shame there's no sequel (even if the Gorillaz Almanac seems to be in a somewhat similar vein).Just as the Gorillaz interview and press material has always been, this is a mix of fact and fiction. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2001, and their success landed them an entry in the Guinness Book Of World Records for Most Successful Virtual Band. Most singers and bands nowadays always seem to focus on appearances rather than putting out good music.

The band's first album, 2001's Gorillaz, sold over 6 million copies and earned them an entry in the Guinness Book of Records as the Most Successful Virtual Band. Getting an inside view on how the live shows for a virtual band were first envisioned and executed, and reading about the reception from the public was also extremely interesting, being a completely new concept back in the day.Addeddate 2023-04-01 03:20:10 Identifier gorillaz-rise-of-the-ogre-scan Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s292q30qb5v Ocr tesseract 5. Rise of the Ogre is pretty much everything that a fan could wish for, and it just reaffirmed my deep adoration and admiration for the art that Damon and Jamie were able to create.

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. A fitting tribute to the first two phases of the career of the world's most successful virtual band, and highly recommended. The story of Gorillaz from the beginnings (pre-band, members' origins) and their collaboration work through the first two albums, along with the mystery behind "El Manana" video. It's gets weird, funky, and incredibly personal on some parts, but if you have a love for the virtual band and Hewlett's amazing art, you'll probably love this back story gem. 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 book is filled to the brim with beautiful artwork by Jamie Hewlett, and it provides a lot of background information on even the tiniest things related to the band and their origins. The band has shot to popularity in the UK following their debut album, Gorillaz, and have been named "World's Most Successful Virtual Band" according to the Guiness Book of Records. However, the visual book itself is definitely the primary way to fully experience the visuals - promotional illustrations, magazine covers, concert stills, storyboards, especially the visuals that are referenced in the text, so I guess one kind of does have to open the visual book eventually.
