I've had it for 2 weeks now. Well, for Outkast fans like myself, if you got excited about Dre and Big Boi going back to the studio together, you had high expectations for Idlewild. Sadly, you're going to disappointed. You can tell, they still weren't in the lab together. They have some nice songs on the album but it's a MOVIE SOUNDTRACK. I have to see the movie this weekend to see how it relates to the album. I'm disappointed in Idlewild. It's basically Speakerboxx/Love Below, except both LP's are on the same disc. Let me reiterate, there are a lot of good songs on the album but it's a movie soundtrack and it's not hard to tell. I see nothing wrong with the more mature, introspective, Dre and Big Boy, but I just think they can do better if they want to go that route. Looking forward to the next album.

Re: Outkast: Idlewild
To me, their best album was Southernplayalisticcadillacmusic, followed by Atliens, with each album they release being worse than the last. Speakerboxxx / Love Below was one of the worst albums I've ever heard. I'm not surprised that they've become more and more popular, however."Never trust a big butt and a smile."-Ricky Bell

Re: Outkast: Idlewild
I thought everybody knew this album was another "seperate but together" album? I mean, at the beginning of the Morris Brown video Big Boi says "Andre is still in the studio working on his half" or something along those lines. I'd just like them to cut ties already and go solo.

Re: Outkast: Idlewild
I like "Chronomentrophobia"... album is pretty much what I expected. I figured they would both spit on a few tracks, then split up and do their own thing for the rest of the album.Comment

Re: Outkast: Idlewild
I guess everybody has different opinions on what they're favorite Kast album is. I've been a fan of Outkast since day 1 and am probaly as hardcore as far as the south goes as they come and I think Outkast's best work by far was Aquemini. There wasn't a weak track on that whole entire album and it is probaly one of the most creative hip hop albums ever."Maybe I can't win. But to beat me, he's going to have to kill me. And to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me. And to do that, he's got to be willing to die himself. I don't know if he's ready to do that."Comment
