GNARLS BARKLEY
Gryff:
I am seriously digging St Elsewhere. Crazy is pretty much the best song, but the album is really good nonetheless.
Danger Mouse can do no wrong it seems.
jcknbl:
Super. Another awesome album I really want to buy. I HAVE NO MONEY TO BUY ALL THIS MUSIC.
Do we think the government would be chill with me spending welfare checks on Alt. Hip-hop records???

--- Quote from: Johnny C ---that defies analogy. It's an incredible pastiche of neo-soul, hip-hop and mental illness, raw and furious but still wry and occasionally subdued

If you're looking for something analogous, the Peeping Tom album comes out next week.

Yeah, was just thinking that something like Lovage fits Johnny's description much more closely, to my mind.
I'm happy something like 'Crazy' was both all over the charts and getting critical props, instead of backwards looking poo, but don't particularly like it. I used to listen to Cee-Lo Green's old crew, Goodie Mob.. they're OK too, not something I miss hearing, though. As for Dangermouse... he just seems pretty irrelevant to me. Relatively speaking, he's not a great hip-hop producer and he's not an inventive outsider type either. cf. Cee-Lo's last solo album, produced by big hitters like Timbaland.

I like Gnarls Barkley. The single Crazy caught my brain and held it hostage for a while but now I've listened to the whole album, it's not my favourite song. It's all so... well, I would say raw, actually. And open. I like 'Just A Thought' at the moment. It's harsh and introspective. Wonderful.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
I like St. Elsewhere, but I think perhaps the hysteria is a bit overblown. In my ears it is not a masterpiece, but a fun collection of songs that go from really good, (Smiley Faces, Crazy, Go Go Gadget Gospel) to mediocre(Gone Daddy Gone, The Boogie Monster, Who Cares).
Basically it is good but not that good, I am a bit tired of it to be honest.
