gnarls barkley- the odd couple.

I didn't think music made in a modern context could be so good. it's fucking beautiful.

Sure there are some stinkers on this one, but the diamonds outshine the rough. My absolute favorites are "My neighbor", "whos gonna save my soul" and "a little better"
The modern context thing could be debated though, this album is definitely 100% soul, but dangermouse's drum loops keep it from being TOO much of a throwback.
Cee lo has grown better by leaps and bounds, both in voice and lyrics. I didn't think dangermouse's production could get better, but honestly it has...this album is astounding.

avoid "whatever" and "would be killer"like the plague though.

P.S. damn it, I think "going on" is a fav as well.
