    From the beginning till the very end, every song caught me by surprise as to how beautiful (see i said Beautiful not catchy or fun, though it was those too) each song was.

I love this album and I basically favorited all the songs on the album on Spotify. that's how good it is. Keep doing what you do Cee Lo. We love you even if the rest of the world are too blind to see how good you are.… Expand

    It was a breath of fresh air to hear Cee-Lo Green's smooth, soulful voice on British radio stations, dominated mainly by the indie, rock and alternative scenes; which was probably one of the main reasons his songs achieved such a huge success in the UK.

    Overall it is an enjoyable album to listen to and a great advert for the neo-soul genre.    … Expand

    Way overplayed, and the songs that are overplayed ("F**k You, and Bright Lights, Bigger City) just plainly suck. There is absolutly nothing catchy about this album. The songs dont even deserve to be on the Bubbling Under The Hot 100, or the album dont derserve to be on the Billboard 200. Would be in the top 10 worst albums ever, and several songs on the top 10 worst songs ever for me

    This is an album of complete soul. Its somethings thats been somewhat missing from the industry in recent times. From start to finish it was enjoyable to listen to and definitely an album i would recommend especially if you are a soul fan. Great album.

    Groovy beats combine with Cee-Lo's sweet, sexy voice to craft one of the best albums of the year. As a fan of Gnarls Barkley, I couldn't be any happier with his album. BTW Did anyone notice he sung the credits from Kung Fu Panda?

    A brilliant album and my favorite of 2010 so far. brilliant vocal skills shown by Cee lo and this makes a great album which goes down as a great soul album. this album also brings what i feel certain new artists are missing which is a fantastic voice from green.

    Surprisingly there is more to this album than just the extremely catchy F*** YOU. My fav track is Bright Lights, Bigger City. It kind of has a Michael Jackson feel.

    The album is something like what we have been missing, soul. It may not be the most heart felt, or Al Greenish kinda soul but he moves with a style and form that I have not heard since Ol Mista Black Joe Lewis of last year. Easy to recommend as it is to listen to.

    Cee-Lo delivers the earth shaking, funky masterpiece that modern Pop Music has been waiting for. It's a breath of fresh air coming from an artist who is not only deeply grounded in our collective roots yet still pushing music forward in a way that I feel is what we need right now.

    He's keen to please, but what's remarkable about The Lady Killer is that he manages to avoid all the bubblebath boudoir-soul cliches that litter most R&B albums.

    The Lady Killer doesn't have the same tightly focused future-soul sound as Green's other project, Gnarls Barkley, but that gives the singer a chance to show his wider ranging musical appetites with elements of vintage R&B, irresistible pop and even a couple of sleek spy-movie riffs.
