Cee-lo/"Glockapella" -- I want to know if the intro to this song is borrowed from somewhere. If anyone has any clue, let me know.
I'm a big Cee-lo fan, and Soul Machine has not let me down. It's not as adventurous or sweeping as his solo debut, and it suffers from unevenness. But it's more of a "moment" album, like when "Glockapella" segues into "We Want the Funk" or when "Scrap Metal" drops into the "We Will Rock You" beat.
I like "moment" albums, where the parts are greater than the whole. I think they fare better in repeated listens, because you don't get drilled into repetition, if that makes any sense. I'm talking here about albums where even the songs themselves might meander a little bit, but most have that key moment that make you go, "Oh, shit!"
Other moment albums:
Aerogramme/Sleep and Release
The Prodigy/The Fat of the Land
El-P/Fantastic Damage
Y'all got any?
