David Browne is EW's music critic and author of ''Dream Brother: The Lives & Music of Jeff & Tim Buckley'' (HarperCollins)
To his credit, Blur's Damon Albarn — the auteur behind pop's finest cartoon band since the Archies — didn't want to rehash the sardonic sleepy-time dub of Gorillaz's 2001 self-titled left-field hit. With Grey Album producer Danger Mouse at the knobs, the follow-up — Demon Days — is spookier, blippier, and more on edge. It's also not as cohesive. Some of the guest turns (De La Soul on ''Feel Good Inc.,'' Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder on ''DARE'') work; others (Dennis Hopper's narration on ''Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head'') are one-listen experiences. Tailor-made for iPod pruning.
