Best record of the year so far.

Lush af (hey it's Danger Mouse ya'know) indietronica that mostly uses its gorgeous production to make up for the lack of songwriting. BUT, when good songs are adorned with a production like this, it's a fucking winner (opener, TGI, "Sailing to Nowhere", or the end of "Citizen").

Broken Bells's appeal is one of the great mysteries of music in my opinion. Go back to The Shins, James. You're drunk.

Danger Mouse always manages to bring out the best in any artist, himself and James Mercer debuting as Broken Bells is no exception, as Brian and James craft fantastically expansive indie songs with great hooks. Brian's dreamy and somewhat poppy melodies are complemented perfectly by James's vocals, creating a record that leaves a great first impression and continues to grow on one

It is like The Shins shook hands with The Cure while The Smiths were jamming on the radio.

Nothing amazing here except for "The High Road" really. Overall, a very sleepy album although that I enjoy, and see something going for them in a good direction. "Ghost on Side" is really good too. The other songs are just good.

Broken Bells come out strong, as the first five songs are great, but the album dwindles there after. Even so, it is a solid first effort.

Not great, not horrible. Before giving this a listen one might look at the two people that birthed this child, Danger Mouse and the Brian Burton of the Shins. At first glance it would seem that great (DM) + good (BB) would = pretty good, but it just doesn't. It is an enjoyable listen, but it doesn't break away from the norm or shock, which is what most people (including me) want in their music. In this case the algorithm that has been used so many times before (supergroups) still results in a slight disappointment. 3.5/5

It's not Dangermouse - it's James Mercer. There are a couple of songs on here I like, but most of it is just crooning,
indie pop bullsh*t. Dangermouse was best to stick with Cee-Lo Green and Damon Albarn. It's pretty in terms of
music, but the lyrics are pretty girly and artificial. Just...no.

I'm pretty sure they went for "beautiful" and "chill", but listening to this is the musical equivalent of staring at a brick wall. In case you didn't get it, IT'S PRETTY FUCKING BORING!!

Good vocals, great beats; good album. This album isn't really my taste due to the 'delicateness' of James Mercer's vocals, but I am a huge Danger Mouse fan. Had to check it out. There is no disappointment here. This album is definitely worth a listen, and I'm certain some listeners will adore it for some time.
