Customer Reviews of St. Elsewhere
Best of 2006 This album was unbelievable awesome. Filled with grooves, by Danger Mouse, that could stand alone, complemented by the voice of Cee-Lo Green, that is so vibrant and soul stirring that it could almost reach out and grab you. It was as funky as it was raw as it was inspirational. To anyone looking for something more than the mundane... This was an exciting roller coaster of a ride. One that I will definately take over and over again.
Over-rated
A couple half-way interesting tracks, but mostly over-rated. Don't waste your money without sampling it before hand.
Innovative but criminally short!
As much as I like this album, I have to give it a B- as the 14-track CD clocks in at an inexcusable 37:20 minutes! Danger Mouse could've just tacked on an extra minute to each track and it would've ended up at 51:20, which I would barely accept as a proper album length. Anyway, on with the song-by-song review:
<

<
>01. Go-Go Gadget Gospel 5/5
<
>
<
>This song is simply awesome. Hearing 20 seconds of this song on their MySpace page made me decide to buy this CD. I agree with Pitchfork Media's review calling this "the most exciting thing I've heard this year."
<

<
>02. Crazy 3.5/5
<
>
<
>Didn't like this song at all when I first heard it. After about eight listens I still don't think it's amazing, but I can see why it's been the #1 single in the UK for over a month. Very catchy with some nice strings and backing vocals. Cee-Lo's voice doesn't get too annoyingly high pitched here.

<
>03. St. Elsewhere 2.5/5
<
>
<
>Pretty boring but decently produced. Cee-Lo's voice goes way too high here. I hate, HATE it when an album's title track is blatantly one of the weakest songs on the disc. Why bother?
<
>
<
>04. Gone Daddy Gone 1/5
<
>
<
>Really ridiculous cover of a Violent Femmes track I've never heard before. Skip this one every time.
<
>
<
>05. Smiley Faces 4.5/5
<
>
<
>This modern Motown masterpiece sounds like a 2006 version of "You Can't Hurry Love" with some of Cee-Lo's best vocals on the disc. DM really shows his range on tracks like this. Gets my feet tapping every time!
<
>
<
>06. The Boogie Monster 2/5
<
>
<
>I really hate this song, but the ending is funny. Skip this one every time as well.
<
>
<
>07. Feng Shui 4.5/5
<
>
<
>The only real hip-hop track on the album and it's fantastic -- too bad it's not even a minute and a half long!! There's just no excuse for how short this one is.
<
>
<
>08. Just a Thought 3.5/5
<
>
<
>DM tries on his best DJ Shadow-circa-1997 impression and mimics the beat from his "What More Can I Say?" remix off the Grey album, while Cee-Lo sings about contemplating suicide. I notice this track is available on the "Crazy" CD single as "Just a Thought (Edit)". I cannot imagine how much shorter this song needs to be to fit onto a two-track CD single, when it's only 3:42 minutes long (stupidly, the longest track on the album).

<
>09. Transformer 3/5
<
>
<
>Huge bass and crazy hi-speed samples make this the most insane track on the CD, but Cee-Lo's ULTRA-high pitched vocals make my ears bleed. An instrumental would be sick.
<
>
<
>10. Who Cares? 4/5
<
>
<
>I think this one's destined to be the next single. Nice, simple beat with some stable vox from Cee-Lo and clever lyrics. Nothing groundbreaking but it's good music.
<
>
<
>11. Online 3/5
<
>
<
>Nothing stands out about this track, other than the fact that it's shorter than two minutes. Cee-Lo actually goes pretty deep for this one but it's still boring.
<
>
<
>12. Necromancer 3.5/5
<
>
<
>Wow, Cee-Lo talks about having sex with a corpse throughout this entire song. Awesome.
<
>
<
>13. Storm Coming 2.5/5
<
>
<
>This is the first track that DM and Cee-Lo produced together for the Gnarls Barkley project. It's somewhat cool until the cheesy DJ Icey/early '90s roller rink beat comes in. This whole CD is kinda tongue-in-cheek so it fits, but this song is crap compared to...
<
>
<
>14. The Last Time 5/5
<
>
<
>YES. This is THE feel-good song of the year for me so far. It's so simple, but the samples are just right and that bassline (very similar to UNKLE's absolutely phenomenal "Nursery Rhyme" from 1998's 'Psyence Fiction' LP) make the track. Cee-Lo does a perfect job here too. This one makes the CD worth buying, along with tracks 1, 5, and 7.
