Gnarls Barkley: The Odd Couple

(Atlantic)

The 2006 debut by this collaboration of producer Danger Mouse and singer/rapper Cee-Lo may be the only album this decade to command the indie rock and Top 40 charts at the same time. The single "Crazy" was embraced by Internet indie flagship KEXP, just as contemporary hit stations like Z104 started spinning it every four hours.

The Odd Couple sustains the achievements of St. Elsewhere, but will the indie cognoscenti still bless an artist that's gained mass appeal?
