But yeah, I loved it, it’s very much a new favorite, but if you aren’t a Gorillaz fan you might wanna skip this one. Gorillaz have always been as much about the visuals as they are about the music, and the autobiography will be a feast for the eyes. The book details the life-stories of the band-members: Murdoc Niccals, 2-D, Russel Hobbs, and Noodle.Most singers and bands nowadays always seem to focus on appearances rather than putting out good music.

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. Murdoc, undoubtedly, but you should really pick up the book to read the details of his incredible powers.

The new art is complemented by many exclusive photos from live gigs, rehearsals, recording sessions and video shoots. Murdoc’s cold-hearted wise-cracking schtick gets old after a while, especially in earlier parts of the book where he butts in too much. I plan on finishing this when I can get a solid copy, and if I can't I might decided to finish it on my computer. While I can only recommend this book to hardcore Gorillaz fans, I can definitely say it should show a little bit of insight into the offbeat nature and musical style of the group to nonlisteners and a look into Jamie Hewlett's great art. You’ve gotta be deep down the rabbit hole to get much of anything out of Rise of the Ogre, as much of the humor that comes from it is due to direct references to Gorillaz songs, albums, promo art and music videos.

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. Just as the Gorillaz interview and press material has always been, this is a mix of fact and fiction.

Published in 2006, GORILLAZ RISE OF THE OGRE details the stories that brought the four band members together, their collaboration and rise to stardom, and the strange occurrences along the way.

It contains previously unknown secrets of the band, such as future plans of the movie, new and rare art by Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett, the "low down" on Kong Studios, their headquarters, and the story of the truth behind the " El Mañana" video. It was first released as a B-side track to the single Rock the House and later as the seventh track of the band's first compilation album, G-Sides. If you're a true Gorillaz fan, then you will love it, but you will have to go deeper into the history for the true story of the band, for this is the crude, funny, coincidential, deep, freaky, and artsy story of the band's animated characters.

They've reconfigured the musical landscape, innovating and entertaining with each and every turn, ruffling feathers, pushing faces, confusing and enthralling in the process. Gorillaz is a virtual band, composed of four fictional animated band members: 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel.
