Gnarls Barkley

[Moderator1]

I know this is a bit of a d_b because we had a similar thread a while ago but I'm too lazy to go look so I'm starting another.

I was given the CD St. Elsewhere as a promotion and just listened to it and really liked it, though as I told my daughter I have no clue how to describe/categorize the music.

Is this just another case of my old ass being way behind the times?

 

[Overrated]

I'm with you and I'm young enough to be with it. It's just different.

 

[Lucas Wiseman]

Gnarls Barkley rocks.

 

[Moderator1]

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Especially at the price.
Does that make me crazzzyyyyy?

 

[Trey Beamon]

Overrated is right. It's all over the place, and a difficult album to categorize.

 

[imjustagirl2]

It's like weird trip-hop experimental stuff.

Love Crazy. Can't get enough. The rest? Not so much.

 

[Moderator1]

Crazy and Just A Thought are my two favorites.

That's how I was, too, until I went on a road trip and listened to the whole thing a couple of times. All their stuff got catchy to me.

Did I hear correctly that they've already broken up?

Really? Well, that didn't take long.

Interesting fact (via Wikiedia): "Crazy" topped the UK singles chart for NINE weeks.

I thought the group was a side project to begin with.

 

[Moderator1]

It is a group and not some individual?

Crazy was blaring from a myspace page for some dude on Big Brother that IJAG was going gaga over a few months ago. I had heard the song, but didn't know anything about Gnarls Barkley. I like upbeat, blaring music when I exercise, so I downloaded the album, figured I'd give it a try. Not sure how to categorize it, either. Kind of like Wham meets Outkast meets Coolio. Don't really listen to their stuff when I am not exercising, but it's decent workout music.

It was, I just think it's weird they're completely done with each other after the success of their first collaboration.

The front man is Cee-Lo from the southern rap group Goodie Mob. The band is Danger Mouse.

 

[imjustagirl2]

Danger Mouse is not a band. He's a DJ/producer.
