Review by Billy_binoculars Oct 31, 2008
No offence Ibbjamin, but according to me you're writing complete nonsense about this very good album.
I think it's one of the best post 2000 albums overall!
Necromancing, St. elsewhere, The boogie monster, Crazy, Just a thought and especially Who cares are my favorite tracks, even though there are no fillers on this LP. Cee Lo's voice is superb, just like Dangermouse production skills. 5 on 5 for this neo-soul / hip hop project.
I wish I can witness them live once.
Rated 5/5

I argue, in direct contradiction to 'ibbjamin', that this album is well-worth the purchase. While is only short (less than 40 mins?), it has such a huge, eclectic collection of songs that you won't even notice (i only noticed because someone else mentioned it, it had never even occured to me prior to that).

There's the dangerously catchy, and love-at-listen-loveable 'Crazy' (you've probably heard it somewhere), the WEIRD 'Necromancing', the brilliant and slighly laid-back, but oh-so-beautiful 'Who Cares?' and one of my favourites, the simple, progressing and bouncing, "Gone Daddy Gone"

This is a seriously hard album to classify; the mix of genres is incredible. Crazy is kind of Nu-Soul
Necromancing is verging upon Abstract Hip Hop (or 'Trip Hop')
Gone Daddy Gone is verging upon Big Beat (as in modern, Palookaville*-esque Big Beat)

Give this album a go, odds are you'll find something to your liking.

*Palookaville is Fatboy Slim's latest album, with a much warmer and more relaxed Big Beat sound (on the whole) than some of his other works, or others of the genre.
Rated 2/5

Purchase the Crazy single; there is nothing else noteworthy on this LP. Regardless, Crazy will be in contention for track of 2006; instant classic after 20 seconds of hearing it the first time. Some of the house remixes of Crazy are great as well.
