wrong. great album. cee-lo’s voice alone is incredible, let alone the unbelievable depth of the production. and the lyrics are brilliant night, day, whenever.

You, critic, you have failed to realize that together Cee-Lo Green the Soul Machine and Danger Mouse are transformers. They optimize into Gnarls Barkley. But let me ask, what’s the best follow up album you’ve ever heard?

I’ll check this out regardless of the lackluster review (AMG panned the shit outta the new Architecture In Helsinki, not entirely unjustifiably, but I still liked it a thousand times more than the reviewer despite those flaws with which I agree) - that said, it’s nice to know one man’s opinion going in. (3, if you count the previous comments despite their brevity. ^_^)
Rones (nonsense spoonerism, super!) raises a fun point, though! I liked Hot Hot Heat 2, Elevator, considerably better than Make Up The Breakdown (discounting the original garage mess, natch)…Thinkin about it, In Case We Die was pretty much an all around better Architecture record than Fingers Crossed… but is it the ‘best follow-up’? I’ll have to think about it and check back. >_

After repeated listens I find this to be a solid record that plays well start to finish, and has some of their strongest material. Gnarls Barkley seem to cement their style with “Odd Couple” and “Who’s gonna Save My Soul” is gnarls doing what they do best. Despite this review give this album the respect it deserves.
