Simply put, Outkast gives us one of, if not the best Hip Hop album that's ever been created. Much of it is groundbreaking, while some tracks take cliche subject matter and make them compelling through Andre 3000 and Big Boi's insane lyrical talent.

The most overrated album of the new millenium, period. Outkast made a weird album for the sake of being weird, while completely compromising any sense of quality hip-hop. Go get their earlier stuff, and try to forget this nightmare ever happened.

This album should have been aborted.

Horrible. Boring.

This crap gets a 95%? My oh my, what happened to good music?

awful

This cd sucks major donkey dick. It is the absolute worst peice of crap I have ever listened to in my entire life. By the end of the album i was sticking knives into my eyes and pounding my head against the wall trying to get the songs out of my head. If you want to hear a good rap album, listen to Raising Hell, or The Eminem Show.

Pure evil. Filth.

So fresh and so clean clean.

I have been hooked on outkast from the first time I saw their Southernplayalistic video. They blend spirituality with carnality and get reality.

How can such awful music get 96, that's a mistery to me

96! Give me a break. Ever watched these guys live? Stankonia is at least an effective adjective to describe them

This CD sucked.

There really is no way to describe how amazing this album truly is, and the fact that someone has the nerve to say otherwise is crazy. It may sound like i am being self righteous or pretentious and I am, the cd allows that. It makes itself prevalent in every way. You don't like this, you don't like hip hop.

'You're so anne frank lets hit the attack and hide out for bout 2 weeks!' quite possibly the greatest hip-hop album ever made. Highly innovative and creative, expanding it's horizons to fuze many genres of music, it is an artistic triumph. Outkast are clearly the best, most original hip-hop group! the only weak tracks are snapping & trapping and possibly slum beautiful. But this album is amazing! for all its flare and dare it is remarkable how amazing it is! unafraid to take risks, Outkast come out on top! best tracks- gasoline dreams,so fresh and so clean, miss jackson, i'll call before i come, bombs over baghdad, humble mumble!… Expand

Keep up the good work

This album is off tha chain cause they r my favorite group

This is one tight ass cd. even though im too lazy to actually buy it instead of burning it from my friends, it still kicks ass

Undisputable classic!

Brilliant album, it's really good and Dizzle, who gave it a 2 must not have listened to it. It's brilliant and i would recommend to most hip hop fans.

this album is so hot!!! i bought it originally for the song "So fresh, So clean" but i listened to the whole thing and i was amazed!! keep it up!

It's great, but not *that* great. It's no Aquemini.

An Instant Hip-Hop Classic! You cannot be a true hip-hop afficianado withouth this album in your collection.

The sad fact about most who hear this album _ fans and detractors _ is that they don't have a grasp of the intellectual irony dripping from Stankonia. And therefore, sadly, they can't fully appreciate it. It is much more than just "dope" or "phat."

This album changed my views on rap. It showed a more intelligent and interesting side of rap. It's an all around good album.

Not as good as southernplayalisticcaddilacmuzic or aquimeni but damn close. Good shit.

Its a little disappointing (to me at least) to see where OutKast have been going lately, but Stankonia represents Dre and Big Boi at their absolute best. Its an album that is incredibly daring in its philosophy and execution, but ultimately more than sucessful. I cant see any reason why this album will not go down as a classic.

This is a great album besides a few bad tracks such as "we luv deez hoez" and "snappin & trappin"... but songs like "B.O.B.", "Stankonia (Stanklove)", "Slum Beautiful", "Humble Mumble", "Ms. Jackson", "So Fresh, So Clean" and "Gasoline Dreams" are good enough that these tracks barely matter.

This album is simply genius. If you think otherwise, you are obviously in denial. It's not weird, it's innovative. It's something new and different. Hip hop is more than pop them thangs and spin them rims. Anyone who took hip hop seriously before Eminem knows this.

as much as i love this album... i wish the critics had started listening to outkast a long time ago. ATLiens is better than Stankonia and Aquemini might be the best rap/hip-hop album ever... Stankonia is probably a bit more accessible though. but then again, outkast is batting 5 for 5 right now, i dont think one of their releases would score under 90/100

I dig Andre 3000. His sidekick is just dead wait though if you ask me.

It's not as good as Aquemini, but at that time, this was the best album of the year.

So fresh and so clean clean.

It was amazing, but it was no ATLiens... can't nothin be that good... I love Gasoline Dreams

Just great upbeat hip-hop.

this kicks ass

Excellent album but you gotta start from the beginning with these guys. Nothing tops thier ATliens album.

Awesome Sh*t, Never was too much of a hiphop guru until i discovered this album. Andre3000 And Big Boi Shine brighter than ever. Listen up spot...get silly toe'd up while you audoize this shizzit, you'll see what i ravin about!

It's tight.

If you like this kind of music, I'm sure it's all very good. I personally thought it was pants - pretty derivative and ultimately without much soul. I'll give it a 5 because what do I know anyhow?

this album is for those few who understand true music and not no b.s. that make yo a$$ and head move, it's for the mind and the up bringing of the sprit

hot stuff

The best hip hop album since The Miseducation of Lauren Hill

One of the greatest hip hop albums ever!

OutKast is quite possibly the greatest hip-hop/ rap/ r&b/ rock group of all time. But that might just be because they're the only ones...

pure genious

I gave this cd to my older brother for Christmas and he liked it. Outkast is a really good hip-hoprapr&b group. I like the album "Stankonia" and the "SpeakerboxxLove Below" album. I give this a ten for terrific.

One of the best rest albums because of its juxtaposition. Removing all the tracks and just listening to the spoken interludes would leave the listener perplexed as how these differnt fragments could be connected. The fact is that this contrast IS outkast in all there funk/pop/rap glory. Sex, booze, partying, baby's mamas, politics and above all a flair for both the dramatic and the comedic tied together by one of hte most adventurous sounds of since the beatles, a revisioning of Funk and Rap into the 21st century that can be nothing less than landmark… Expand

I just heard this for the first time this year (2006) and I feal really really cheated in that I could have been listening to this for 6 years now. Co-sign all statements above... it is A LOT better than I ever could have expected. Wow, still reeling in shock. There really hasn't been anything this good since in hip hop, including all the underground and "conscious" rappers. My goal for the rest of the year is to pick up every Outkast album there is...… Expand

this album is stunning beginning to end. this is the best rap album ever made. even 7 years on it feels revolutionary. the beats are the stuff the neptunes and timbaland with they could do. it's down and dirty . it's bizzare and cool. no 2 tracks sound the same. album of the decade.

This album is mediocre at best, but me and the many people I know who agree must be a minority. Don't get me wrong. "Gasoline", "Ms. Jackson", "So Fresh and So Clean" are all great songs. But there is an undeniable amount of track skipping material here. You want an Outkast album that deserves a 95 Metacritic score and an 8.4 user score? Try "Aquemini", "ATLiens", or even "Southernplayalistic". The last two efforts by the duo have been underwhelming to me and other hip-hop fans I talk to, but everyone else seems to love these mediocre albums.… Expand

As good as advertised. Anne Frank name checked in a hip-hop song? So fresh so clean.

Outkast makes the sort of albums that not 3 or 4 songs are hot on it, but all of them are. Stankonia is no exception.

IT IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this cd is so fuckin bad ass it'll trip u out hella if u are on mushies !peaceout

Best Rap album ever!

Its good

Classic. This album was totally different from Aquemini(classic). No superproducers and its all an outkast vibe. No one can do it better thw Andre and Big Boi.

Awesome!!~!!~!

its not as good as the love below/speakerboxxx. but still, very original.

Easily one of the best albums in the past 5 years, but Stankonia just has a "Monumental" feel to it. Definatly one of the best rap albums ever, when i heard it it was like listening to Public Enemy's "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back"...It's that good

This album is incredible. Every single track is not only catchy and brilliant, but has a message. The album as a whole is put together so well. Listening to only one track on its own doesn't do the album justice. The lyrics are smart, deep, and funny, and I'd recommend this to anyone.

Hardest, Funkiest album of OutKast's career. Give's hope for the grownth of Hip Hop.

The best style of hiphop out. Crazy, loud,fun and with lots of melody. Most importent to note is that this albume is very funny in an artistic way that seems to be out of reach of the hiphop gener.

Near Flawless.

A fine piece of work. Boi and Dre have impeccable chemistry, and their creative muse never rests on its laurels, resulting in a restless and often convoluted but thoughtful and endlessly entertaining piece of art. I love the deep Prince-ly funk that drives the largely satirical "So Fresh So Clean," the Bomb Squad-esque guitar workout behind "Gasoline Dreams" and the acid jungle groove on the unfreakingbelievable "B.O.B."-- and I love what it stands for. Mos Def, Common, Talib Kweli, The Roots, and Blackalicious are all counteracting mainstream rap's lazy, piss-poor knuckle-dragging, and so are Outkast-- they've just come from Mars and rode in on Parliament's Mothership.… Expand

This albums is wonderful with songs like bombs over baghdad which is like the best song in the world and songs like so fresh, so clean and ooh ms jackson 10/10 for this album

"yowski wowski peeski weesk all aboard the stankonia express the underground smellroad everyones looking for an excuse to get loose whats your locomotive"- cant remember what track that is thats good shit tho

A decent album of material, and while it can't really compete with the Speakerboxxx/The Love Below double-alum that would follow, it is still much more interesting than most other hip hop from this era.

OF COURSE IT GETS A 9............................................................................................. its one of the best albums of the decade

One of my personal favorite Hip-Hop records and one of the best of the last decade. Just a classic, B.O.B., Gasoline Dreams, Ms Jackson, Xplosion, need I say more.

The most creative Hip-Hop album ever with incredibly fast and skilled rhyming and incredibly diverse range of lyrical subjects. This one puts Andre 3K and Big Boi both in my top 10 ever MCs

Jesus this and my beautiful dark twisted fantasy are what you show someone to get into rap. Fantastic, not a single disappointment at all. Big boi and Andre are the best.

THE BEST ALBUM OF THE DECADE !!! It's mind blowing! Some of the most creative moments in music history can be found on stankonia. Also the biggest myth around here is that atliens is somehow outkast best album. Atliens is good, but it is nowhere near stankonia's level. I also find it funny to see the old post's people talking **** how music was garbage back then hahahaha people always complain about the state of music. Anyway This is one of the greatest albums of all time.… Expand

Classy & Funky Album. This is the 2nd greatest Outkast album (ATLiens #1) very original style and lyrics. This album makes you realize that Andre 3000 & Big Boi can bring Hip-Hop & Music to a whole another level.

amazed. the album is hilarious, clever, righteously weird (with the whole stankonia mythology going on), and the instrumentation cuts **** DEEP. The lyrics are dark and satirical.

"Stankonia, the place from which all funky things that come",far from an understatement, this album makes that believable. Funk is hardly the only thing that lives in Stankoina, with its many types of hip-hop, soul and some jungle beats, Stankonia is a thrilling listen. A-
