GMoneyJul 20, 2009This album is an almost surreal fusion of great music. The Beatles samples don't overpower Jay-Z, they instead give him a rousing echo that can't be found anywhere else, but the halls of Danger Mouse's studio.

DanManManManManJun 23, 2007Great, though not quite on the level of The Black Album and The White Album on their own.

ZachSSep 10, 2006Incredible! Loved it from the beginning to the end. The only song I was partial to was Allure (track nine). 99 Problems is great and Dirt Off Your Shoulder is fantastic. If you don't have it I strongly reccomend searching your favorite (legal :p) P2P network.

KulayMJun 19, 2006one of the most underrated, unreleased albums in hip-hop history. this album marks the ingeniousness of Danger Mouse, who would later go on to team up with MF Doom and form the group, Danger Doom.

GaryBSep 20, 2005As a major fan of the Beatles and a minor fan of Jay Z, I thought this work would be just a cheap rip off. How wrong was I. Dangermouse has made an enchating album which works incredibly well. I wish you could by this in the shops. It deserves to make money its sooo good!

mattaJul 11, 2005Incredible. There is only one track in my mind that doesn't really work, the rest is pretty much perfect, overall, better than the original Black album(but obviously not on par with the White Album). The second best rap offering of the year(just behind madvillainy).

CarlosTJan 17, 2005This Album took balls to pull off. Danger Mouse must carry his testicles in a wheelbarrow

jamsJan 9, 2005Very nice, with some so-so cuts. Not as good as the White Album, not as good as the Black Album, but still good enough to warrent an...ahem...purchase.

DanCSep 7, 2004The fact that anyone can mix Jay-Z and the Beatles and pull it off is worth a ten!

KenSAug 31, 2004This album is absolutely brilliant. It's not nearly as good as the White Album, but it destroys the Black Album. This is a wonderful mix of r&b with all the old favorite Beatle songs. Download this now, especially "Helter Skelter/99 Problems". It is a little unnerving that the Beatles are put second to Jay-Z, but its a great album regardless.

MichealPJul 23, 2004This musical collage is a wonderful amalgamation of cultures and color. It dissipates racial lines and brings a common truth to light: music brings people together. It's a brilliant effort regardless of commercial intent and content.

DjChainZApr 6, 2004Unbelivible best Jay Z album

WarrenMar 25, 2004The mixes were extremely clever and inventive. I haven't enjoyed a Jay-Z album in years, but I certainly could sit through this entire production with an assist from those four guys of Liverpool.

bobMar 2, 2004It's creative and a fun listen. Instant classic? Not quite, but it opens new doors and raises new questions about the nature of "new music".

Dangermouse's actions have breathed creative life back into a 35-year-old record while inventing a completely new work of hip-hop art.
-
SpinWhile the novelty factor alone makes it worth the download time, it works as a cohesive album long after the initial shock wears off. [Apr 2004, p.91]
-
The diversity of the mixes on The Grey Album also is a testament to how carefully Danger Mouse has cut and pasted together his unauthorized sonic pastiche.
