   OutKast just keeps pushing the limit...this isnt even a rap, its a rag time, soul, blues fest that happens to feature rapping. From the first OutKast just keeps pushing the limit...this isnt even a rap, its a rag time, soul, blues fest that happens to feature rapping. From the first album, none have been similar, and this follows suit. I only wish Dre and Big were on more song together, but even then, you can tell that this is an OutKast album...they need each other.… Expand

   This album is exceptional. Definite candidate for album of the year in my opinion. Some of these critics have no idea what they're This album is exceptional. Definite candidate for album of the year in my opinion. Some of these critics have no idea what they're talking about. 'Call the Law' out of place? That's one of the dopest tracks on the entire album easily (and I'm not alone on this one) and seems to fit the album and the movie perfectly. Janelle Monae absolutely kills that joint. Another critic said 'Mutron Angel' was a filler track! What?! Once again, one of the dopest songs on the album (deeper than deep). Leads me to wonder did they even really LISTEN to the album. I could see if they said 'Look In Your Eyes' or 'Bugface' or even 'Makes No Sense At All' (which I personally think is a dope track, but there are many who aren't feeling it) It's one thing if Outkast isn't your cup of tea, that's understandable and I can respect that. Some get it, some don't. But please thoroughly listen to the album before you give an analysis because its obvious that a few of these critics failed to do so... Bottomline: This album is dope! Is it on par with the first 3? Hell naw! But neither are Stankonia or SB/TLB. Still dope albums nonetheless. Hell, the first 3 are classics.… Expand

However, Idlewild, their first "together" album since Stankonia, strangely falls short of the brilliance of their first four albums. Aside from a couple good tracks, most of the album feels like a relatively soulless imitation of Outkast. It seems more pretentious than creative… Expand
