    Odd Couple is every bit as musically inventive as "Elsewhere."

    Solid and safe fun perhaps.

    Boring grooves that last a couple of minutes before ending abruptly just don't cut it. What a letdown.

    Awesome. There's only 2 or 3 tracks really worth complaining about (examples; Would Be Killer, She Knows), all of which I feel were great concepts that would have been astoundingly good had they been fully realized. Unfortunately, they are a little too repetive (for my taste, anyway). The rest of the album is amazing, though. I've listened to Open Book and Going On both many times, and I still get chills everytime I hear the chorus of either. Whatever is just annoying and whiny enough to be hilarious and somewhat addictive. A Little Better's lyrics/vocals are beautiful and eerie,perfectly sealing together and drawing to a close the somber feel of the album. Definitely worth a listen.… Expand

    Not nearly as good as St. Elsewhere, and quite frankly a huge disappointment. With his incredible voice, I wonder if Cee-Lo still has a few gems left in him. Only time will tell.… Expand

    The guy can't sing. The music is nothing more than sampled experimental computer BS.
