Anybody got the St. Elsewhere cd? I want to pick it up. Is it any good? I wasn't really feeling C-Lo's solo debut but I do like this "Crazy" song.

Re: Gnarles Barkley
I like Crazy also, I havent listened to anything else from the CD, I'd like to know if its good myself. -
Re: Gnarles Barkley
It's Gnarls Barkley.
And the album is a classic. Enough said. Any further discussion would just belittle the tracks.
edit:
That being said you have to have a certain understanding and appreciation for Cee-Lo. He's a different kind of artist. The album works because DJ DangerMouse is a different kind of producer. They both have a ridiculous sense of humor that either flies over your head or hits you smack across it.
If you like Crazy a lot you'll like this album. That's my opinion. That's not to say every song is like Crazy. But, if you understand how Crazy sounds and what it's saying (rather than just thinking of it as a mainstream track that's grabbing attention) then you'll vibe to this album and realize it deserves Grammy consideration.Last edited by CMH; 06-10-2006, 08:54 PM."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: Gnarles Barkley
This song is okay, but there is a remix of this song by Richard Vission for you house music lovers out there and the mix is awesome.
The performance of this song on the mtv awards was a little weird though.Comment

Crazy is their only good songComment

Re: Gnarles Barkley
I like a lot of the tracks, but it seems like the ones I really enjoy are painfully short. Just when you want Cee Lo to kick one more verse, the beat starts to fade. I would recommend, mainly because its fairly enjoyable and originalComment

Re: Gnarles Barkley
have to say I really get into this album, which is quite surprising to me. Im typically a rock guy with rare rap album; this however is like a fusion of rap & r&b that works well. There are at least 5-6 songs that I can listen to continually. When I first got the album, my r&b loving gf got mad because I played it too much.
Its worth it IMO but to each his own; you're spending your money.Comment

Re: Gnarles Barkley
A classic in my book.
Ste Elsewhere
Smiley Faces
The Boogie Monster
Just A Thought
Who Cares?
are the real gems on the album. Give me this one over The Love Below anyday.Comment

Re: Gnarles Barkley
I first heard Crazy on Ron & Fez, bought the album when it came out. I love it's probably the best one I've bought in the last few years. It's very different from anything I own, which is one of the reasons I'm liking it so much. I do agree with a few others though, it is a love it or hate it album.I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!
