Gnarls Barkley "St Elsewhere" Album
It's already the UK's album of the year, and I'm betting this'll do better here than most Brit musical darlings.. we shall see come May 9th.
reposting my words elsewhere:
"Could this album's buzz be any buzzier? I've listened to 7 or 8 tracks, and I'd say it's the best project Danger has done so far. I thought the Grey joint was nicely crafted but missing a certain oomph, and felt the same about Dangerdoom.. Doom is in my top 5 but he's far from the loudest or most energetic on the mic, so Madlib's filthy dirtyness was a better complement to that low-key flow.. Danger's beats didn't serve that role quite as well.
But that "cleaner" sound that falls a bit short under Doom is the perfect backdrop for Cee-Lo's monsteriffic vocal presence, leaving just enough space for his guttural gospel growl to add the grit and soul. I hope it does as well on this side of the proverbial pond.."
