Title: Gnarls Barkley, thoughts? Post by: punkinhead on August 18, 2006, 08:58:26 AM 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:

Just not my thing. I was very amused when Of Montreal performed Crazy in their encore in Mpls a week or so ago.

Title: Re: Gnarls Barkley, thoughts? Post by: Chris Brown on August 19, 2006, 02:22:00 PM 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.
Title: Re: Gnarls Barkley, thoughts? Post by: Rerun on August 19, 2006, 03:43:30 PM 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.

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.

Post by: CosmicDancer on August 21, 2006, 12:03:53 PM 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.

Title: Re: Gnarls Barkley, thoughts? Post by: andy on August 25, 2006, 11:00:10 AM 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.
