In theory, this collaboration has great potential. The rocking guitar-laden chorus is fun, while the cheesy keyboard samples and beats give the track a boost of humor.

Producer Danger Mouse (Gorillaz, The Grey Album) and former Goodie Mob singer Cee-Lo Green may use futuristic tools to attain their sound, slicing up beats and juxtaposing contrasting samples with freeform glee, but their main appeal lies in the neo-soul that roots these songs in a Sly Stone-Curtis Mayfield.

However, “Gone Daddy Gone” is a great cover of the Violent Femmes’ original. Gnarls Barkley St Elsewhere Full Album 21 is the debut album of the American musical duo Gnarls Barkley, consisting of singer CeeLo Green and producer Danger Mouse. Their choruses utilize multiple voice tracks while hand claps, electronic horns, jungle drums and vibes seem jumbled together. “Go Go Gadget Gospel” and “Transformer” are both extremely up-tempo hodgepodges of percussion. However, this time his DJ Shadowesque start-stop drumline buries the vocals, sounding not mashed but smashed with spaghetti-western guitar samples. “Just a Thought” hearkens back to Danger Mouse’s Beatles/Jay-Z Grey Album mash-up. The debut album from 2006’s most unexpected duoGoodie Mob’s CeeLo Green and underground-rap super-producer Danger Mousesounds like the past and future at once, an ecstatic blend of experimental beats and golden-age soul.

This emerges again on “Feng Shui” as well as “Who Cares,” an unflinching groove about mental illness with lines like “I wouldn’t call it schizophrenia, but I’ll be at least two people today.” Another highly repetitive selection, it nevertheless holds the secret to Gnarls Barkley’s sudden success: producer Danger Mouse’s instinctual sense of timbre. Smiley Faces has a bumping bass line contrasted by a tiny organ sample. Is it possible for a single to be played out before the album is even released? Quite frankly, yes. That doesn’t make its verse-bridge-chorus structure, super-looped drums and bass, and shrieking chorus everyone’s cup of tea.

An instant hit, its first single “Crazy” has caught on unlike any other song yet this year. Elsewhere Gone Daddy Gone Smiley Faces Boogie Monster Feng Shui.

It is an interesting collaboration that sounds unsure of what it wants to accomplish. Goodie Mob has sold over two million albums worldwide. Elsewhere? It’s DangerDoom with Cee-Lo in place of MF Doom minus the Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
