    Cee-Lo Green... Is the Soul Machine, released in 2004, is the second solo album from Cee Lo Green, following the highly experimental Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections (2002). Though not as ambitious or abstract as his first, this album shows diversity in style; in addition to fellow Dungeon Family producers and MCs, Cee-Lo brings in outside influences such as Jazze Pha, Timbaland, Ludacris and Pharrell.

Description

In the commercial rap arena, few prospects are riskier than making the transition from a conventional     sound to more avant-garde leanings.  It can either bring you critical acclaim and general acceptance from     the populace (Andre 3000) or it can alienate your original fanbase without appealing to the new audience     whose eye you'd hoped to capture (Common).<p/>  Cee-Lo's latest record, however, treads the line perfectly,     allowing him to play by his own terms, while maintaining the kind of strong hooks, production, and songs     that pretty much anyone can get into. His solo debut, 2002's Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections, was solid but ultimately forgettable     and singularly toned.<p/>  But Green seems to have focused on cohesion this time out, as this new collection of     songs tie together nicely, despite the record's diverse melting pot of spoken word, R&B;, rap and gospel.     Those expecting the pensive introspection and homemade synth-hop of his debut should look elsewhere, as     this record draws on his greatest strength: the excitable rhyme flow that initially made him stand out from     the rest of the Goodie Mob.<p/> Cee-Lo's most interesting aspect is his adaptable persona:  The way he shifts from an apologetic former     gun-toting drug dealer to a discotheque lover man to a church preacher gives this album a ridiculous depth     of replay.  And lyrically, he dominates much like he did on the Outkast side project Dungeon Family's Even     in Darkness, spitting battle salvos ("I've been running since 'Rock Box'/ I've cocked glocks and locked     blocks/ And rocked rocks in drop-tops") and street knowledge ("When it hit ya, it usually hits somebody with     ya/ Make 'em risk a total eclipse of the sun to get richer") with the confidence of a man on a mission.<p/>
