Please dude, theres some great songs on those 2 records. And any shortcomings were due to the producer on those projects, not Cee-Lo.
Not to say there wasn't some really un-listenable garbage as well, but overall i think those albums were solid.
I wouldn't hesitate to say dude has plenty of classics under his belt - which is why I wouldn't touch those albums w/a 10 ft pole, based solely on the singles.
See this was my thought as well but mainly because this song screams out mid eighties Stevie to me. Sounds like something off In Square Circle/Woman In Red. Not unpleasant but not really blowing my mind. Will no doubt sound better in the summer.
Ah, like the orchestral bit near the end though.

Now this is what's up. I remember this hitting the net about three years back when Gnarls Barkley was blowing up, and the only reason I can imagine for it not coming out at that time was that Gnarls took priority. There was another song, "Gangster Boogie", which was good too.
It's been American Idol'd. I haven't bothered checking out the new album as I'm running low on bitterness reserves at the moment and, off the back of Fuck You, expected it to be a longplayer full of this kind of over polished poop.

I really hope a good version of the OG surfaces sometime. I'd be happy to pay for a white-label import!
Anything actually decent on there?
I really hope that version surfaces on the internet.
seriously.
that's a disgrace.
Did sample-clearance kill the OG?
