Review by ethan May 18, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
How the hell do you classify this CD? One review has said "psychedelic soul" or something that Marvin Gaye would record if he were still alive in 2006. For now, I'll go with that. The Cee-Lo/Danger Mouse pairing may be a bit weird for some; and this CD confirms it. 14 tracks clocking in at less than 38 minutes - but, man, is there a lot crammed into that short a timespan. Both members take their own unique styles (the cartoonish, dark, deftly-layered textures of Mr. Barton; the at-times-frenetic, jovial, beautiful tenor of Mr. Calloway) and create something even more individualistic. Hard to classify; even harder to ignore once tracks like "Transformer", "Just A Thought", and, of course, the history-making "Crazy" (BTW, have you SEEN the video?), are imbedded in your brain. A critics' top 10 pick for 2006 for many, and deservedly so. Now, about those "Clockwork Orange" photo shoots.....
