Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple


2 years ago a little diddy came out called 'Crazy' by this unknown group called Gnarls Barkley. This little diddy went on to hit #1 in 10 countries and top 10 in many more. If we fast forward to today, Gnarls Barkley is trying to copy this success with their new album 'The Odd Couple'. But the question is have they? It probably will not emulate the commercial success of their first album (St. Elsewhere) but it is just as good. The great thing about this album is each track is special in it's own way. Some of the tracks you should give a spin are 'Run', 'Charity Case', 'Going On' and 'Who's Gonna Save My Soul Now'.If you enjoyed their previous album in my opinion you should pick up this one. As I said before it will not sell as many copies of this album but for those who do pick it up you are in for some of the most original lyrics and as a result one of the most original records of the year.
Rating: 4.5/5
