I have it and I love it.Its very soul sounding at times and just has a upbeat vibe. Good summer music.

yeah, if you dig "crazy" you'll dig the whole album... however, their rendition of "Gone Daddy Gone" really blows, the song irritates me so much ( I love the violent femmes version though)

bought it yesterday. gave it a quick listen to while driving around.
i like it so far. i would say that most of the songs are good. there are a few that completely suck though. overall, it is a very schizophrenic album. but in a good way. the rest of the songs dont really sound like "crazy"
oh yea, got it at best buy for 10 bucks

I honestly thought the lp was dissappointing. Crazy was the only good track imo.
It's weird how much buzz this is creating though. I keep hearing people talk about it in weird places.

I was similarly disappointed. It's fine, but the hype and reviews made me expect something outstanding.

 album
oddly enough I have it on right now.
This is a pretty solid album -- but if you're not use to Cee-lo Green then you probably won't get into this album that much. His voice is...unique to say the least.
Luckily I'm a big fan of Cee-lo!

I'm a huge cee lo fan actually, but mostly the stuff he did with goodie mob back in the day. I just think dangermouse's beats on this gnarls barkley album left something to be desired.
you all should check out the goodie mob albums soulfood and still standing. Cee Lo is very extremely on point for those two lps.

Soulfood is a classic album, back when the ATL was on point.
Black Ice is also a sick ass song.
Goodiemob did a song w/ Esthero back in the day, but I can never find the single for sale anywhere, anyone have it?

The video for Crazy is easily one of the best I've seen all year.
