Dec 12, 2012Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors takes you to many places

Dec 11, 2012Big Boi comes back from an amazing solo debut with an equally impressive album in its own right. He decided to switch things up for this one by experimenting with electronic and indie sounds, and it payed off. One of the most creative and unique rap albums of the year.

Dec 18, 2012It's fun, it's clever, it's loud, it's funny. Not much negative stuff you could say about this if you've been into Big Boi for the long haul. There's also some heavy deep material in here and of course that rugged street audacity you need.

Dec 13, 2012Far less than Sir Lucious Left Foot but Big Boi tries to be innovative with electronic sounds compared to the funk of his solo debut. The best song is without a doubt Mama Told Me with Kelly Rowland. Slightly disappointed.

Dec 12, 2012This album is in my opinion, a success. The direction represents an overall industry trend towards psychedelic Hip-Hop. Old school fans of Biggie might be disappointed by this direction, but I really appreciate the variety of sonic exploration contained in this album. I'm impressed.

UncutFeb 4, 2013It's not as scintillating as we've come to expect from the OutKast camp, but plenty of fun nonetheless. [Mar 2013, p.67]

Jan 30, 2013Despite the heterogeneous nature of the album as a whole, Patton is never out of his depth, even when paired with unusual collaborators.

Jan 29, 2013Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors has a much more electronic feel to it, with a plethora of synthesizers. The brassy street thump of past Big Boi releases is still present, it's just more centralized.
