GORILLAZ (ALBUM)

'''Gorillaz''' is the self-titled debut album by Gorillaz, released in March 2001. It includes the singles "Clint Eastwood", "19-2000", "Rock the House" and "Tomorrow Comes Today". The album reached #3 in the UK, and was an unexpected massive hit in the U.S., hitting #14 and selling over 6 million copies.
Throughout the album the band experiments with many combinations of genres, including hip-hop, rock, latin, punk and reggae. Their next effort, ''Demon Days'' would be a more unified project.
''Gorillaz'' was released as an Enhanced CD that includes a short movie and access to Murdoc's Winnebago via a download at murdocswinnebago.com, which is now accessible by simply going on the Kong Studios online tour.
In 2004, the album was packaged with 2002's ''Laika Come Home'' in a limited edition box set as part of EMI's "2CD Originals" collection.
