Not as good as their debut, but Gnarls Barkley certainly deliver an excellent album with amazing original tracks.

The best, most original album in years
This is an absolutely fantastic album. The most original Ive heard in years. The songs are a bit quirky and different, and thus require something out of the listener to unlock their full potential. There are refrences to love, not sex. There are two light drug refrences. Besides two quick uses of f—k in on song, language is not an issue. While violence is not directly stated, death is constant topic of songs, and is viewed from all angles. "Little Bit Better" looks at the sad past of the singer (including death/abusive parents), "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" talks about the death of a close friend, "Would Be Killer" looks at death/murder from a killer's perspective, and last/best of all "Going On" is a bitter sweet song about the singer dying telling friends not to worry having lived life to the fullest “my mind is already gone / and I’m going on / to a place in the sun that’s nice and warm.†“Blind Mary†reveals truths about living life to fullest through the eyes of a blind woman (no pun intended). If you look past the funky beats, you’ll see a very interesting examination life and death.
