Review: OutKast – Speakerboxx/The Love Below Below
Highly critically acclaimed, and even chosen as album of the year here and there. Being a double CD, there must be something in it for me, right ? Wrong, it’s double the boredom, double the aggravation. Totalling at 39 tracks (19 for Andre 3000, 20 for Big Boi), there are a handful of intros, interludes and such, leaving you with a still high 30 full songs. Ranging from jazzy songs, mixed with some high speed rap to the samples-heavy scratching, they ALL have something irritating to it. I’d probably rip someone’s hi-fi installation apart if I’d hear one of those songs again, so to be safe, I deleted all tracks from my hard disk, with a sector wipe to follow.1+.
