Haven't heard a note but they are playing with the Flaming Lips on New Years Eve right here in Los Angeles. So I wanted to see the reaction also Acclaimed Music has it as number 6 so far this year.

Crazy is a fucking amazing song. Like, so much better than anyone realizes good.

The rest of this album is emarassingly bad. Like most anything Cee-lo has touched since that first Goodie Mob album

It was weird that last year when I dj'ed in October, I played Crazy and there were maybe 3 people dancing to it because no one knew it. I played it this year and there were a few more people dancing to it but everyone didn't run to the dance floor like if I would've played Hey Ya or Gold Digger.

great pop rap album. seems like cee-lo & dangerdude played it too straight though. probably my #4 rap album of 2006 behind ghostface, girl talk (if that counts -- a lot of rap foreground samples are used) and the coup.
