    1) First off it is way too confusing to listen to. Like pick a style and go with it! Don

    This record is severely crappy. Cee-Lo is usually hit-or-miss, and this is a big miss. Danger Mouse is whatever. People who like annoying garbage like MC Paul Barman and The Grey Album will love this. Everyone else will listen to the new Ghostface album and be glad they have good taste.

    This record is for people with eclectic taste, but who's eclectisism only covers bad music. People who say things like,"I'm into all kinds of stuff. Y'know like late Pink Floyd, Black Eyed Peas, and Raffi." People think this is avant garde pop, but it's just bad. I guess today's record industry churns out so much garbage that people are happy just to hear anything This record is for people with eclectic taste, but who's eclectisism only covers bad music.

I guess today's record industry churns out so much garbage that people are happy just to hear anything that sounds remotely different. And for the record...Club DJs: "Crazy" is NOT a good dance song! It's got an awkward beat and a chorus that makes me want to shoot myself in the face.… Expand

    Ear piercingly bad! I understand that Cee-Lo is quirky and adorable, but these songs are just terrible! Also, why is Danger Mouse wearing a "Vote for Pedro" shirt in the promo shots? I saw them selling that junk at Mervyns. If you think quoting Napolean Dynamite in your daily life is funny, then you'll like this record because you're an idiot.

    Both artists have stepped outside their regular roles to make what feels like a genuinely instinctive, love-fuelled record that zings with an enthusiasm for all spectrums of music.

    Although this isn't a flawless album, it will undoubtedly be a huge hit and keep many people company through the long hot summer months ahead.

    You certainly won't hear much else at the moment as inventive as this.
