Ace write-up for an ace album
I don't give it the attention it deserves, it's one I'm prone to overlooking all the time when scrolling my iPod wheel but every time it gets a play I remember how amazing it is and berate myself for not listening to it often enough. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Some great tracks but the album is a bit of a mess
"OutKast managed to turn the unwieldy into a collection of remarkable cohesion"
Couldn't disagree more. The skits in particular ruin this album. Those as well as the experimental tracks that don't really work. I always thought Outkast's albums got progressively more experimental but it stopped working after Aquemini- the last two albums were just too disjointed and weird. Aquemini is the jewel in the Outkast crown.
