You've probably heard the buzz about this project, and if not, I assume you can use Google. So I'll spare you an involved critique except to say that this is merely adequate hip-hop that's geared to appeal to indie rock tastes.
Notable are the lead single "Crazy" and the Femmes cover "Gone Daddy Gone". I'm still digesting it, but Danger Mouse has clearly done better work, and has probably jumped the shark.

I have never really been impressed with Danger Mouse. the grey Album was cool, but the Mouse and Mask got really old really fast. I am interested in this.
I would agree with Sam's comments. However this album is much more R&B than it is Hip-Hop. I cannot seem to get into this album at all. I may be missing something because the buzz about this is crazy.
I'm not really concerned about genre; that said, it's a DJ and an MC who happens to sing.
I can't say I was thrilled by the Grey Album. In fact, I was seriously underwhelmed by it. DANGERDOOM was -okay-, kinda "meh", as both DOOM and Danger Mouse have done better work. There are some pretty dope songs on there, though, like Black Debi.
So I am about half way through this thing. And at first I was like this is awsome, now 9 songs into it I can't wait for it to be over.
I don't think I have turned on an ablum so fast.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that "Crazy" is the only song really worthwhile on the whole thing, and even that isn't nearly as good as their live version (which gets slowed down and made totally soul-fried).
As I said, merely adequate hip-hop.
I've been thinking about doing a weekly posting of old-school shit, I've got some hip-hop from the late 70's and early 80's that rocks so hard.
I would be down with some 70's & 80's hip-hop. There is not nearly enough hip-hop on this iDisk.
there sould be more Bob Dylan stuff. I want to turn this into a Bob Dylan blog
