The Odd Couple
Warner Music
Outkast is usually my favorite ensemble of two black dudes
making funk-meets-rap-meets-electro. But I'm here today to
admit that Gnarls Barkley is closing in on the top spot, especially
after the March release of their second album The Odd
Couple. It's rare to find an album I truly like beginning to end.
However, Cee-Lo and Dangermouse lay it down and floss it
out for 13 tracks of neo-soul flavor bites that are melodic and
infectious. Now let's all cross our fingers that it's doesn't
become the summer’s most despised due to over-play. I loved “Crazy” off of 2006's St. Elsewhere,
but after three months of non-stop rotation, hearing it made me want to vomit.
