This pair, Danger Mouse & Cee-Lo, have put out a strong sophomore effort that is deservedly receiving attention and rave reviews. To be honest, in my humble opinion, this album doesn't really contain any standouts (as opposed to the freshman effort which had "Smiley Faces", "Just a Thought", "Who Cares", and of course, the world-renowned "Crazy"), though it is a thorough and solid effort that deserves a listen it just doesn't have anything REALLY special like the first album did (but don't let that take anything away from what they have done here it is really daggone good). It is an excellent effort with all of the desired qualities that made the first effort so wonderful. ![]() It really isn't that there is anything wrong with this album. That being said, this is not the first release by the duo and so, they must contend with the stunning success of their damn-near-perfect St. It has a good mix of mo-town grooves with a modern spin that gives it an edge that is very desirable (just like their first release) in this day of regurgitated crap that all sounds the same. ![]() Were this to be the first release by Gnarls Barkley, I would give it 5 stars.
