Gorillaz – Humanz

I don’t own this so I can’t really say but I think this is a super cool release, and actually almost worth the money and I genuinely feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t entirely hate it from what I’ve seen of it? The bonus songs are a bit of a mixed bag but there are soooo many gems that are exclusive to this version

what a waste of plastic wow ???? ? ? ?

"Initial copies sold exclusively on Gorillaz official website include this book signed by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett."
Anyone know how many of the HAND SIGNED editions actually exist out there?

Going for a TON at auction on Ebay. Listing just ended at auction for a signed sealed set for $500 (USD).

Okay this boxset is often trashed for the price of it and I will join in saying if you pay full freight for this box set you are an idiot. However, Amazon often heavily discounts this boxset and if you can get it for less than 200 AUD it is worth the pick up then. I have a standard copy of Humanz on Vinyl, the deluxe album CD and this box set. Am I happy with this boxset? For the price I paid yes very happy but had i paid the more than double price commanded for RRP no I would have been absolutely livid. This boxset should have been made available for no more than 200 AUD from the get go.

On to the music, I was and still am a big fan of this album it is by no means the best work of the gorillaz but i still love the music and the story behind. The artwork included with this boxset is something else and I thank this boxset for introducing me to little simz who i absolutely adore now and was lucky enough to get to see her live before covid in Australia. I quite like a lot of the bonus tracks to be honest and feel that add to the atmosphere that Gorillaz were going for in this record in terms of its concept. Remember as well these tracks are not available anywhere else bar here so if you are perfectionist or want the full set this is the only way to get these extra tacks. I am disappointed though that they didnt include the bonus tracks found on the deluxe CD version especially the apprentice as I love that song so much. So push comes to shove yes it is a little tedious to get up for every song but it forces you to listen to each song on its own which is something you dont really do otherwise and can lead to songs just becoming background noise. This boxset as well i believe is a critique of how ridiculous it is for people to be so absorbed within consumerism that they will buy something even if it is inherently inconvenient. For a comeback album after their hiatus, this setup Gorillaz for the Now Now and Song Machine series which I am glad happened.

TL:DR if you can get it for a good price (Sub 150 USD) pull the trigger just dont pay full price it isnt worth that. The additional songs are no where near as bad as people make them out to be and I quite enjoy them

I'm really wondering how some sellers can offer this for 200 bucks as the official retail price was around 320 EUR!! At least this was what I paid for the first press from the official store.

I appreciate that some records from this set are being individually sold as if they were singles, since there are a couple that I really want to own without buying the whole set (mostly Hallelujah Money/Phoenix on the Hill), unfortunately the shipping from the Netherlands to the USA is a deal breaker for me. Some of these B-sides are really excellent additions, I still listen to them digitally from time to time.

Almost pre-ordered this as an speculative investment before it came out. So glad I didn't, although I could probably use the exercise of walking over and flipping an album after every song. Bought the standard edition for listening and an artbook version as an investment that is worth less than I paid for it. My future as a flipper is grim.

Up to £299 on amazon now, you needed to be quick to get it at £87.
As for all the quibbles about price, songs per side ,12'' not 7'' etc. This set is not just a box of vinyl its a work of art in its own right.
What price art?

350$ I knew it was too much. This box was in my amazon basket since a year. Sometimes it’s good to be patient. Now 135€ on Amazon Germany, still 320€ on official Gorillaz online store. So yes for 135€ I order it ! I will not be disappointing like a lot of fans who paid 300€.
I don’t care for the future value I just wanted to have it for a great price. Waste of money ? 300€ YES, but 135€... NO, not for the b-sides or demos but only for the packaging and the item hitself.
