Not on sale in the U.S.: http://www.bestbuy.com/si...id=1534164

$12.99 is a good price too.

Don't let that stop you from buying it the day it drops! haha

CinisterCee said:

I did buy it. It's currently cued up after D'Angelo in my stack of CDs today. Can't wait!

Love it

although it took me a few listens to get into it

The crazy samples , the vocals , the weird lyrics , it's

It's gonna take me a few listens to really get into it also. It's different and sounds very cool initially, but I'm not jumping for joy yet.

OK
I like the fact that it's all samples , very innovative since it's not regualar hip hop and the vocals are great

I just love the round mound of funk rebound that is Cee Lo Green. I think this is a special album. Especially for him as it really showcases his voice and lyrical talents.

This has easily been my most enjoiable album of the year.

Ok , yeah his vocals are great indeed

If Crazy stays #1 in the UK again this week, Gnarls Barkley will join some elite company.

Very cool.

"Crazy" is a great song, but the video is work of art!!!an instant classic.

The visuals are so perfect, above and beyond better than any video ive seen in years!the director and artists involved in this are some serious bad asses.


Im talking about the black & White one with the ink splatters.

What's the album actually like? Is 'Crazy' indicative of what the overall sound is? To be honest, if I hear that goddamn 'Crazy' song again I think I'll penetrate my eyeballs with steaming hot pins. Maybe it's shite, maybe it's overplayed, but I sure as hell cringe every time it is on. It's weird - I didn't actually mind it first time I listened, and was kind of interested. Now, though...

Funnily enough, I grabbed a phone from some stranger the other day 'cos the fool wouldn't answer it and kept the ring tone chiming - guess what the tone was... I gave it back, after the song stopped.

Yeah the worst thing you can say about it - "too hook-y"

Here is a link to some live links that they put up on their myspace site.

Yo! I've been trying to promote this man since the beginning - I think his first album Cee-Lo Green and his perfect imperfections was a work of genius - it's not only the music but his lyrics are creative and meaningful!
Then when I thought that was it - he produces Cee-Lo Green is the soul machine - I have no idea why this was ignored I never skip a song on that CD - Next thread why doesnt radio like GOOD music?

that shit is FIRE!

but i have always loved cee-lo.
this is some beautiful stuff.
