• I keep seeing stuff about these guys, but haven\'t really heard anything from them yet.  All I saw was like the last 45 sec of a video on VH1 the other day, I def liked what I saw (very cool video) and heard, but is the album worth the buy?

• Check out my IMHO This Is Great For So Many Reasons Thread, right here in the TFA forum.  
  It\'s a Gnarls Barkely performance you might like.
  
  Overall they remind me of Al Green.  It\'s a soul album mostly.  I like it, good variety for my otherwise heavier collection.

• TKA dl\'d a copy of their album... "Crazy" was the only song I really enjoyed - every song sounded identical to every other song on the album.  The guy\'s got no vocal range, and it\'s all repetitive synth sounds.  if u want it, u can have the copy he burned for me. :thumbsdow

• Danger Mouse=mediocre at best producer
  
  i love true soul and hate modern R&B so its cool to hear a more classic soul sounding voice in popular music.  i listened to the album a couple times and thought it was cool, but im not hooked by any means.  but i dont feel too many of Dangermouses beats ever, and the grey album blows my ****!

  CHARLES BARKLEY says he\'s "flattered and honored" to be the namesake of Gnarls Barkley, the hip-hop/rock duo comprising Danger Mouseand Cee-Lo.
  
  The Round Mound of Rebound says he has their CD "St. Elsewhere," and "it\'s pretty good, an interesting mix of rock and rap."
  
  "I\'m excited for all their success," Barkley told us yesterday.
  
  Gnarls, who blend hip-hop, rock, funk and soul, and who performed their hit "Crazy" while dressed as "Star Wars" characters at the recent MTV Movie Awards, are getting serious, and well-deserved, acclaim for "St. Elsewhere," their debut CD.
  
  Despite the obvious homage to Barkley in the band\'s name, a Chuck Klosterman story in Sunday\'s New York Times Magazine says the duo just thought the name sounded cool (which it certainly does) and aren\'t necessarily huge basketball fans.

  THE pair have dressed up as film characters including Superman, Freddy Krueger, the Wizard Of Oz and the droogs in A Clockwork Orange

• We\'ve had the Gnarles album in steady rotation here at Club Newton (my house) for the last 4 months.  Definitely buy this album, you won\'t be disappointed!  It\'s one of the better hip-hop albums to come out in the last 12 months.  (If you want the best hip-hop album of the last 12 months it is Ghostface Killa\'s "Fishscale".  This is not debatable )
  
  Here\'s what I wrote in the other thread:
  "I was blasting the Gnarles album at my party the same night he was on MTV, causing some ser girl-on-girl action in my living room.  That CD turned my party out...and sometimes that\'s all that matters. I\'ve played a lot of stuff at my parties over the years and Gnarles\' album has just the right mix of funk and soul to groove the halfway-bewtween-pop-and-headdy-crowd. I actually shuffled it with Michael Jackson\'s "Off The Wall" album (an all-time can\'t-miss party classic) to make sure that the new stuff I was debuting (Gnarles) was mixed with some sure shots. Female:male ratio of dance party during shuffle: 15:2. Ser stuff."
