Editorial Review: Album Description: OutKast has almost singlehandedly defined the sound of Atlanta rap. Tongue-flippin', rhyme-spittin' and Cadillac-ridin', all with a Southern accent, Big Boi and Dre have proved tobe the South's ideal MCs. ATLIENS continues in the same vein as Outkast's 1994 debut, SOUTHERNPLAYALISTICADILLACMUZIK, with producers Organized Noize back to accompany the duo's laid-back flow. Big Boi and Dre proclaim to prove a point with every rhyme, never wasting a line. They like to think of themselves as outcasts from the hip-hop community--aliens,so to speak. Their tracks have an outer-space feeling to them--a feeling that, ironically, has warmed the community right up to them. They're so out, they're in. Customer Reviews

 Rating: - ATliens is fantastic!Outkast did a heck of a job creating one fun trippy album! This is classic Outkast and you cant hate on this awesome record they put out! Buy this! Rating: - ATLiensOutkast's second album is one of the greatest sophomore releases of all time. Big Boi and Dre continue with what they left off in Southernplayalistic... They have some of the best beats the South has ever produced and two of the best flows out there. It truly is a combination that can't go wrong. Idlewild and Speakerboxx/Love Below are decent albums, but do not judge Outkast until you listen to ATLiens and Aquemini. Both are easily 10 out of 10 classics. Rating: - (4.5 stars) Progressive hip-hop is so cool...If all rap was like this album, I would listen to the genre a lot more than I do. It manages to be totally out-there (the spacey "Wheelz of Steel", a favorite of mine because of the creepy Spanish guitar and weird synthesizer squeaks and what have you; "Elevators", which sounds like Pink Floyd meets rap), but really catchy regardless (title song; "Two Dope Boyz (In a Cadillac)"). They even screw with your standard "rap ballad" on "Jazzy Belle" with echoey backup vocals. These guys know how to use the studio as an instrument, that's for sure. It's not just the studio effects that make this such a good release, either. It's also about Andre 3000 and Big Boi - two charismatic rappers with interesting voices who are capable of just packing their ...

Rating: - No Sophomore Jinx for OutkastATLiens, in my opinion, is a better CD than Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. Both are definite hip hop classics, but I have this draw to ATLiens. I can't explain what it is. The CD is very different from the first. Where the first was built around the gangster concept, this CD builds its own concept. One I have yet to put a name to. My favorite songs include Two Dope Boys, ATLiens, Jazzy Belle, Elevators, Babylon, Millenium, and Extra-Terrestrial. Definite Must Have. |
