    Big Boi's lyrically on point, too, balancing cavalier wit and grown-man profundity that puts this album among Outkast's best. Your move, 3000.

    On Sir Lucious Left Foot, Big Boi does something even more difficult: He gives us a great album that sounds nothing like any of the great albums he's already given us. From where I'm sitting, that's an even greater achievement.

    I didn't really feel this album. It wasn't a disappointment per se, but it didn't appeal to me. I was expecting much more from Big Boi. It is what it is.… Expand

    If you long for the days of ATliens, Aquemini, and Stankonia, don't waste your time with this rubbish. Another sad release by a previously fantastic artist trying to jump the shark into "modern" hip hop/rap. Even Reakwon couldn't save this album. I was excited to read somewhere that Organized Noize was doing some tracks, but maybe I am just hopefull of a Outkast return to form someday. Unfortunately, this is not it. On the plus side, it is still better than 75% of the other hip-hop garbage that is churned out these days.… Expand
