Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:41, 20 October 2008 (UTC) [reply]Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)
- Nationality of band or band members?
- "The band's music is a collaboration between various musicians with Albarn being the only permanent musical contributor."-->The band's music is a collaboration between various musicians, but Albarn is the only permanent musical contributor.
- "Their style is broadly alternative rock, but with a large number of other influences including hip hop, electronica, dub and pop." I think "with" should be "has".
- "Gorillaz has released two studio albums, both on the Parlophone and Virgin Records record labels: Gorillaz (2001) and Demon Days (2005)." Source?
- "Gorillaz has received only one Grammy Award, which was in 2006; they received the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals award for the song 'Feel Good Inc.'"-->In 2006, Gorillaz received their only Grammy Award—the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals award for the song 'Feel Good Inc.'

- Try to link the publishers in the references. (MTV, Allmusic, etc.)
- Otherwise, sources look good.

Review by SrX
- Comments
- Gorillaz are a British virtual band created in 1998 by Damon Albarn of alternative rock band Blur, and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. - wouldn't it be "is" and not "are"?
- Raise to prominence? [you know I got to do this :)]--SRX 20:55, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "are" is for British bands. Check Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, etc. I added some background info. Gary King (talk) 21:02, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Why not a picture? There are plenty of Albarn, at the least.
- "The idea to create the band came to Hewlett when he was watching MTV and said . . . " doesn't make sense. I think the whole prose needs a spruce up: "Gorillaz has" (BritEng--should be "have" throughout).
- I think you need to distinguish between fiction and reality a little bit here. "The band is composed of four animated band members: 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel."? That's only according to the fictional back-story. I suggest mentioning in little more detail how Gorillaz are different from other bands.
- Alternative rock is not a "style" but a very broad music genre, so that statement is not very clear. indopug (talk) 14:09, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
