Editorial Review: Album Description: Limited edition Japanese pressing with special package. 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:  - ANDRE PLEASE RAP PLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEE!!!!!!!!!ANDRE 3000 IN MY BOOK IS IN THE TOP 10 MC'S OF ALL TIME. HIS FLOW IS ON TARGET HIS DELIVERY PRECISE. I AM SAD TO SAY AS AN DIE HARD OUTKAST FAN THAT THIS ALBUM IS COMPLETE GARBAGE. DO NOT BUY IT UNLESS YOU ENJOYED THE LOVE BELOW. ANDRE I AM AN DIVERSE MUSIC LOVER IF YOU WERE A GOOD SINGER I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO JUMP ON YOUR SINGING BANDWAGON, BUT UNFORNUTLEY YOU CANT SING YOUR WAY OUT OF A BOOT IF THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE ON THE HEEL. PLEASE I IMPLORE YOU TO GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS AND RAP,RAP,RAP. IT IS YOUR GOD GIVEN TALENT AND YOU HAVE ABANDONED IT. Rating:  - GREAT!!!!!This is by far their best album!Unique in a way that they are known for.For those that think this album is no good, open your mind!It's an ingenious album! Rating:  - "Greatest Show On Earth" music is Inconsistent with the MovieI recently purchased an "Idlewild" CD, the explicit music version of the show "Idlewild", specifically for the song "The Greatest Show on Earth" because, SPECIFICALLY, OF THE HORNS!!!!!!! BUT, (hint, hint, hint), when I bought the CD the song did not feature any HORNS!!!!! in the song "The Greatest Show on Earth". The horns in the movie made that song stand out like no other with power and BRAVO, and made me designate this song as the best I have ever heard, over all the rests. Yes, though, of course, the singer and other music, in the song, rocked too! The singer was great in that laid back, sophisticated style of genre play. She gave significance to being alive in a world of prejudice, hate, and suffering. But, again, though, the horns ... Read More: Rating: - A real diappointment.This is by far OutKast's worst album. I never though I would even be using the words 'worst' and 'OutKast' in the same conversation. Matter of fact, this was their only bad album. I am a die-hard outkast fan. Andre 3000 is my idol. However, I have to admit this album sux. I can't believe that Kast would even put out something of such low quality. They must of had a contract obligation to fulfil or something. I knew it would sound different because after all, it is an OutKast album, but damn, this Idlewild album sounds horrible. Rating: - Not they're best work but certainly not they're worstContinuing after the success of Speakerboxxx/Love Below is Idlewild. Its been a while since Ive heard Andre and Big Boi on the same tracks. This CD has a few of them on the same songs. First up is Mighty'O which, when I heard it at the time, I thought that the old 'Kast was back. Then after that song there was Big Boi and Dre going solo again. They get back together to do Hollywood Divorce with Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg( great verses by everyone on that one!), and they do 1 more together from the movie which I liked but cant remember the name of it. I loved the singing and all the jazz inspired tunes but what I really want,what I think everyone else wants is Andre Benjamin to come back to being a full time MC. The rap game needs him to spit knowledge ... Read More: |
