I loved more or less every moment of that album, for various reasons, but primarily because even as Cee-Lo was singing about the weirdest, darkest shit, there was a sense of joy about the whole proceedings that I found infectious. Of course, none of that would have mattered if Cee-Lo wasn't one of the greatest male vocalists alive, or if Danger Mouse wasn't an innovative producer with a killer ear for hooks, or if the songs themselves didn't manage to be both catchy and lyrically sophisticated.</p> <p>Disclaimer: I have both Cee-Lo solo albums, the Danger Mouse/Gemini collaboration album, the Grey Album, the first 2 Goodie Mob albums, and I got a Cee-Lo lyric from "Getting Grown" voted as the one put onto our high school senoir t-shirts, so I may be biased.</p> I guess I’ll be the resident St. Elsewhere apologist over here.

But then again, I also think Perfect Imperfections and The Mouse and The Mask are two of the best albums of the decade, and just about every track Cee-Lo touches turns to gold for me – for example Trick Daddy’s Sugar.

Preview = reviewing the album after watching the video for Run on YouTube.

Review = reviewing the album after listening to a shitty leak.
