Or are you now "M-BARE-ASSED" to play it?

For me, there are still a couple of songs I play...maybe a few. But it got really boring really fast for me. Thoughts and opinions...?

I stopped playing it for a while, just started back and still diggin' it!

Shit - a year already? Good lawwwd.

It's bcuz off all the hype and u probably wore it out when u 1st got it! It will happen 2 most albums. I did it with SOTT after about a week! I was killin it but i left it alone 4 about a moth an grdually got back with it! I still like 'The Love Below'. I never considered it a masterpiece bcuz hey that's subjective. I don't know what the critirea is 4 an album 2b considered a masterpiece. It's a quality effort 4sho!

I still think it's an amazing album, easily the best of that year: that, despite the fact that there are some really weak tracks on the Big Boi disc. On the other hand, the 3000 disc is flawless -- not a misstep on it! I took it out for the first time in months last week, and still I'm floored by it. I think it'll retain its brilliance for years to come.

Hi, El!

I actually bumped "Speakerboxx" for like 2 weeks before I got to TLB. No, I didn't overplay it cause I didn't even like half of it. I thought it had a few excellent cuts, some that were OK, and some that were garbage. But there were millions of critics (and some people on this site) that were really hyping it up (and some were using the word "masterpiece".) I've been an Outkast fan since day one and I'm already looking forward to their next CD.

burnt out on it but i'll still say it's a freakin' impressive piece of music.

didn't it come out last SEPTEMBER?

i listened to this recently for a few days in a row. still classic!

It's actually been nine months since its release, but the two of them still stand up right. The over zelous play of " Hey Ya" and " I like the way you move " just makes it seem as though it's been a year. " Roses " was the only logical third single to put out since the two of them are on it, otherwise there are no better songs to release. Name a song that can come out for Big Boi that would be as hyped. Outside of " Prototype ", Dre3X's songs are too wierd for PoP40.

Originally Big Boi was to release Bow Tie, and Andre Prototype, both would have been club bangers!

There is not a better R&B song this year that can top Prototype.

Definitely a masterpiece.

Yeah, I got kinda pissed when I read that he wasn't going to release Prototype and that Roses would be the last single. Cuz it is definitely a classic soul ballad.

I never bought it because
I wanted all the hype to die down
so I could decide whether I still cared about Outkast
(I have ATLiens, Aquemini, and Stankonia).

I know I could have bought it back then
and just listened for myself.

I think I've heard the entire album though
without even owning it!

What 'Nova said

I think it's great but overall, I still rank Stankonia as their ture unequivocal MASTERPIECE. Following it are Aquemini, ATliens and then The Love Below and then Speakerboxxx.

1. Stankonia
2. Aquemini
3. ATliens
4. The Love Below
5. Speakerboxxx.

Good album? Yes. Mastrpiece? Hell to the no.

I was on the subway last night and someone was playing "Prototype" on a portable boombox at a bench across from me. I had my eyes closed and the music sounded so good while we were travelling along the turbulent train tracks. That Outkast album is really a great record.

Supernova said:

I thought that was the point of the song. He's being really juvenile about a bad break up.

RipHer2Shreds said:

If the point was in succeeding to make me annoyed by it, and make it their least successful single to date among their last two releases, I guess so.

Supernova said:

It peaked at #9 on the Hot 100. Not a bad chart position at all. I agree that it wasn't the best choice in singles, but I still like it. Obviously, not everone agrees with me, and I'll have to live with that.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Whoa! That high? I didn't realize that.

Supernova said:

Don't beat yourself up over it. It's just a song...that you don't like.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I still think it's an awesome song....I hadn't listened to it in a while and I went back again a couple days ago, and I've rediscovered "Dracula's Wedding"

SquarePeg said:

"Dracula's Wedding" was the first song I was enamored with from the album.

Supernova said:

I like this one until it hits about the 30 second mark, can't stand the chorus... & "Roses" sucks sweaty nut sacks

CalhounSq said:

Ok, I have to go find this disc so I can hear it again...

CalhounSq said:

I just listened to it again, and Cal, you are definitely


Mah gawd, girl, you like Cloreen Baconskin and you have no room for this????

Supernova said:

It just annoys the shit outta me. I wanna like it but I just can't get past the chorus I think you need to put on Cloreen again, that shit BUMPS
