I've only heard Crazy, and I think it's amazing, I would crap if the rest of the album was that good, should I purchase St. Elsewhere? I enjoy their dressing up everytime they perform...here they are on Letterman:

I'm annoyed by what little I've heard, including "Crazy." Just not my thing. I was very amused when Of Montreal performed Crazy in their encore in Mpls a week or so ago.

Well, I only know "Crazy", and itīs one of these songs where I KNOW it is good, but don't FEEL it.

I've tried listening to "Crazy" a bunch of times trying to figure out what all the fuss is about it.  I'm not hearing what others are I suppose, but it just doesn't do anything for me.

I think "Crazy" is pretty good and a heck of a lot better than most of the R&B I hear today.  It kind of has a classic feel to it.  Can't speak for the rest though.

I just like Danger Mouse...he did a little fun project in his computer and ends up being an all star producer. Good for him, I hope he keeps workin it!

The album is pretty damn amazing. Not mind-blowing, but still pretty damn amazing. The production is great, the songs are a little over-reliant on minor key but feature some terrific singing and melody-writing, and overall I'd give the album a solid B with lots of promise for future projects.

I have tried and tried to listen to Crazy and find out what everyone is going so nuts about but I just don't hear it.  I heard the majority of the record and it just does nothing for me.  Most of the "summer anthems" of today sound like sh*t to me though.  Outkast's Hey Ya is the exception.  Now that was a damn good song!!  Gnarls Barkley is way overrated.  They were getting mega hype before most people had even heard the song.

My sister has that stupid song on her cell phone and I feel like chucking that phone out the window everytime I hear it.   Ahhh!

I'm with 'Old Rake' on this. The album is pretty good. Crazy is definitely the standout track but there are a couple of other solid songs on there. I think it's worth checking out, for sure. It reminds me of early/early Outkast stuff (probably b/c it's Goodie Mob, sort of) and a little bit like Jurassic 5 in an intellectual hip-hop kind of way, only with singing.
