Two Bears in a Record Store

So a few years ago while working for a large and prominent record chain I made a made a judgement way too soon. I called out the Gnarls Barkley record ‘The Odd Couple’. I called it the worst album of the year and personally thought it was the musical let down of the last decade. But I was so wrong!  ‘The Odd Couple’ is a modern day soul classic, just sit back and listen to the pain in Cee-lo’s voice. I haven’t seen this live but checking it out on You Tube this album translates even better on stage then it does on record. Check it out: 

This is a cool cover of Reckoner by Gnarls .. check it out ...  

So have you ever dismissed or acclaimed a record before you’ve really gotten into it or let it pass you by?
