Heard this song at a nightclub on Saturday night,and it's now my new favorite song! Am I late? Has this song been out for awhile?? I don't anything about the band,but I'm thinking about buying their CD.

Am I the only one who's digging this track?

No you aren't. It's been out a couple of months but it's still great. It's funky without even trying to be. I love it, I think it's better with a good pair of headphones.

your defiently late, its been out for months now. but i agree it is really great, one of the best songs this year. there new song DARE is really great too, although when i first heard it i didnt like it but it grows on you. ive heard some songs from there album and their pretty good. they came out with a cd about 4 years ago, and although ive never heard the whole thing, the singles were really good. its a cartoon band made of gorilla/human looking people, i think damon albarn from blur created them and came up with the idea. im very surprised youve never heard of them before, although i guess it depends what country you come from, but there pretty big here in australia.

Have you heard their new CD? How does it sound?

It's a cool song that sounds GREAT in a nightclub,played really loud.It sounds retro and modern at the same time.

"Feel Good Inc." is fantastic!

I was not really a fan of Gorillaz before although I loved the 2 singles from their first album. I took a chance and bought Demon Days (from which "Feel Good Inc." comes) and I fell in love. It remains my favorite album of 2005, ahead of new albums by already established favorite artists like Franz Ferdinand, Depeche Mode and New Order. Demon Days is a bit of a concept album depicting the way of life in a post-9/11 world. It is at once paranoid, sinister, inviting and beautiful. Pick it up!

thanks for the review! I will definitely pick this up.

Love it too, but "Dare" is better.

And those two are the only good songs on their album I'm afraid. IMO of course.

i dont think there the ONLY good songs, but they are the BEST songs on the album, imo

what about their first album? Is it worth checking out? Is there anything like "Feel Good Inc" on it?

DavidEye said:

I don't have their first album.

minneapolisgenius said:

me neither, ive never heard it. only the singles from the album and they were pretty good.

hellomoto said:

I've probably heard the singles from that first one as well, but I can't remember any of them.

It's a great song. Reminds me of a Prince song, actually, especially the background synths.

hellomoto said:

Yeah you're right. I'm listening to it now and "Demon Days" is pretty cool as well as "Don't Get Lost in Heaven".

AND...

Kids With Guns
Last Living Souls
Dirty Harry
O Green World
El Manana
Every Planet We Reach Is Dead

The first album is decent as well. Many think it's better, although Demon Days gets more critical acclaim. I like the first album- it's very cool. "Clint Eastwood" may be their best song. The video was revolutionary. However, the first album seems to be merely "cool" and doesn't seem to have the cohesion or the message of Demon Days.

If you love this, then find the second single called "DARE" Turn it up loud and dance yourself stupid!!!

I LOVE Gorillas. "Feel Good Inc." is one of the songs often on repeat in my car. I love the whole album, but I like their first one, Gorillaz, better.

I must say I was addicted to this song too a little while back. I think the gorillaz first album is better than demon days, but feel good inc. is probably their best overall song.

check out thier site

www.gorillaz.com

I seen the Gorillaz out on tour for the 1st cd, Dan the Automator opened. I've been a core Blur fan since the 1st cd and I have followed Damon (Blur, Gorillaz) and Graham Coxons (guitaist for Blur) work post Blur. The show itself was amazing, tons of screens with animation, lots of lights. Very Wild! They are working on another tour but it will take them a couple years to get the technology for the Gorillaz to be in 3d.

I think the 1st cd is good but the second one is just more polish. Outstanding revolutionary idea a cartoon band.. Gorillaz.

If you need any hard to find Blur or Graham stuff, send me an orgnote.

That's probably why I like it so much

I've never heard it. How does the song sound? I mean, is it retro funk, house, disco, or a combination of styles?

It's very retro-funky,sounding like it's from the early 80s.On their official site,one of the bandmembers describes it as "part "Billie Jean",part Rockwell" and that kinda sums it up.The lead singer's vocals sound like a sample from an old 70s hit,but I don't think it is.The song also includes a rap from De La Soul,which gives it a "modern" feel.I love the drums and the bass.I think you would dig this track.

It was sounding good till you mentioned the damn rap part. I guess it's OK as long as it's only a small rap part.
