The Odd Couple

by Gnarls Barkley

Rushed to release due to an early internet leak, the sophomore effort by Danger Mouse and Cee Lo Green is significantly darker and more paranoid than their explosive debut. Danger Mouse's intricate, sample-heavy production perfectly supports Cee Lo's remarkably vulnerable vocal performances, dealing with themes of intense isolation and the pressures of sudden global fame. The record proved they were far more than a one-hit wonder.
