Product Description
Gnarls Barkley: St. Elsewhere
Amazon.com
In 2006, Danger Mouse is King Midas of the music world. He has an uncanny knack for creating jagged, dense, frenzied beats and odd, eerie, vivid soundscapes that never compromise the music's natural flow. Meanwhile, rapper and singer Cee-Lo, a veteran of Atlanta's Dirty South scene, has never been one to be constrained by hip-hop conventions, and is a willing partner in adventure. The result is an intrepid psychedelic blend of pop, hip-hop, soul, and rock that consistently challenges and delights. It's no wonder that "Crazy," with its modest riff, irresistible hook, and disarming opening line ("I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind") became a worldwide Internet sensation a full six months before the official release of St. Elsewhere. But that relatively simple soul-pop gem is the tamest track on this wide-ranging, often dark and introspective collaboration. (In fact, the duo considers Gnarls Barkley to be a wholly new creation, as opposed to a collaboration of existing artists.) "Everybody is somebody, but nobody wants to be themselves," Cee-Lo croons on "Who Cares?" He and Danger Mouse try very hard not to be their old selves as they creatively and confidently break down boundaries, but the brilliant cores of their musical personae--Cee-Lo's eccentric spiritual soul man and Danger's bold sonic explorer--remain. --Marc Greilsamer

 Glad to have found it! October 12, 2008
Great service and quality of CD; only wanted 1 song on the album so was happy to be able to get it!
Gnarles Barkley- St. Elsewhere September 20, 2008
Another good album by the duo artists of alternative hip-hop with an soulful tune in all of their songs.
perfection August 27, 2008
This is an amazing album, plain and simple. It's low points are still far better than 90% of the music being produced commercially today. Frankly, I find it to be a perfect album and would recommend it to anyone.
A nice little album August 21, 2008
It's a refreshing, fun album, with no really weak songs and quite a few that are really catchy. It's not for everyone, granted, but I enjoy it a lot.
 not a fan July 31, 2008
i bought this based on the reviews, thinking that i was going to like it. maybe i need to give it a good listen, but i've tried twice and i just can't get into it.
