Free Music Notes for The Odd Couple Album
Free Music Review: Best of 2008 So Far, But Less Than I Expected
Hit: 5 Stars
From their collaboration on the song "Benzi Box" from the Danger Doom album, it was easy to see that Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo had incredible potential. In their first album, "St. Elsewhere", they took the world by storm with "Crazy", winning Best Song of the Year in 2006, and the world has been eagerly awaiting their second album.
Well, it's here now, and it's as amazing as could be expected. It doesn't blow "St. Elsewhere" out of the water by any means; it's easily apparent it wasn't meant to. "The Odd Couple" is a step in a different direction, with a more relaxed approach. Instead of the constant, break-neck tempo of their first album (although it's certainly still present in the single "Run") they've opted to go with a more natural sound. This could prove to be a wise move, as it makes it harder to think of Gnarls Barkley as part of a single genre. Despite the varied styles of their debut, it had an indisputable high-gloss polish that would lead some to label them as 'pop'.
The new sound is composed mainly of bass, hand clapping, and backup vocals, giving it a sound that many would describe as nostalgic. The good news is that it's still fresh, and I guarantee you haven't heard anything even remotely like it in years.
Unfortunately, although this is a great album and probably will prove to be the best of 2008, there doesn't seem to be a candidate for Best Song on "Odd Couple". However, the songs "Going On", "Run", and "Surprise" should be enough to satisfy fans. I also enjoy "Blind Mary", "Charity Case", and "Who's Gonna Save My Soul".
Overall, I would give this album a well deserved 5 stars, although no song stands out like "Crazy", the whole provides more than enough to go around. Watch and see as this album proves to be the best of 2008!
