Look, I know it took me a billion years to read this, but I swear I loved it. It's Gorillaz. I'm contractually obligated to love it.

one of the things I liked about this book, was the in depth look into the characters,one important revelation, that I had already theorized, was that 2-D is sometimes quite smart.So on the surface it's a biography of one of the greatest bands of our generation, but ends up taking you for quite a trip. The highlights for me were the storyboard art and the character writing. Like, seriously stellar stuff on both accounts. Getting some of the rough pencil storyboard stuff from Hewlett is lovely, and the way he used to illustrate stuff was beautiful in its weird, ugly way. The motion and the atmosphere in some of his rough sketches is stunning; the examples that come to mind are the D-day storyboard and the El Mañana storyboard.

I listened to the audiobook version of this for the first few chapters, before locating a PDF for the rest of it - I wish more chapters of the audiobook got recorded! I liked the voice acting! 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. The original idea for the book was to be a compilation of all press interviews with Gorillaz from phases one and two.
