Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Despite its title title, this is not a soundtrack for the Idlewild movie--almost no songs appear in the film. Instead, the tunes seem inspired by Idlewild's narrative themes. Outkast extends the eccentric streak that began on Stankonia and continued through The Love Below/Speakerboxxx. Fans of that last album may enjoy Idlewild's continued eclecticism, especially from Andre 3000, who seems to be moving further away from "rap" every moment toward some bizarre love child of Prince and Melvin Van Peebles. A song like "Mighty O," which actually features both Outkast members rhyming, is a refreshing throwback to the duo's earlier days, but Idlewild is mostly divided between songs from Andre and Big Boi, with few points of intersection. By far the strangest Outkast album they've ever released--and this is saying a lot--Idlewild is a heady, dizzying trip. Awkwardly disjointed at times, it undeniably certifies the group as one of the most adventurous that hip-hop has ever seen. It's not easy to love but it's hard not to respect. --Oliver Wang Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Dissapointing, But Still Solid (Rating: 7 out of 10- -3.5 stars)Outkast is probably one of my most influentual groups to come out of the hometown of ATL. That being said, this album was a slight dissapointment from all other Outkast albums that I've heard. Being based off the movie "Idlewild" I figured this would be a nice album in connection to the movie it was based on. Like a lot of people noticed, this album is like "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below". In fact it's a little too much like it (I'm suprised it wasn't a double disc as well). With Andre 3000 doing more singing, he sounds a little off with his vocals. I understand that he was experimenting with his singing vocals on "The Love Below", but I just wasn't feeling it on "Idlewild". Newer fans od Outkast (post "Stankonia") will like it, but those who ... Read More: Rating: - I Go WildAfter seeing the movie, I knew I had to have the soundtrack, too. My favorite song is Zora's song, Call The Law. For any woman have trouble with a man, this may help you, too. ;) Rating: - The Outkast Vehicle Makes A Pit Stop {4 Stars}I was reading the Washington Post about two days before the release of this album and in the Style section I found a review of this album that seemed pretty fair. There was a paragraph in particular that pretty much summed up my sentiments. And it said: "Tied to a film of the same name, the album is actually pretty good. But OutKast isn't supposed to do pretty good. It's supposed to do great, and anything that falls short is a failure" (you can pretty much google the piece I'm talking about). While I wouldn't call it a failure, I simply couldn't put it any better. Outkast typically achieves greatness with every release. There are, in fact, some great tracks to be found. Like most, I couldn't stand "Morris Brown" ...

The majority is full of new joints, while a good 5 or so are from the film. Tight release though. Rating: - Mighty ighty ighty iiiiiiiii....odie odie odie ooooo!!!!!! What can you really say about these guys. Their great!! They are the best rap group in the history of hip hop! In an era of complete unoriginality, Outkast continues to set apart themselves. This album is no exception. Keep in mind, IT IS A SOUNDTRACK, not a 7th Outkast album as some reviewers want you to believe. Even with that being said, this soundtrack possesses some of that old Outkast magic like "Mighty O", "Morris Brown", "Idlewind Blues" and the incredible "Hollywood Divorse" which features Snoop and Lil Wayne and yes, 3000 spits on this track as well. Very, very nice! I highly recommend all Outkast fans to go buy this soundtrack and even if you're not necessarily an Outkast fan per say, go cop it ... Read More: |
