I just listened to it last night for the first time in a long time after an Outkast binge.



I started the day with ATLiens. Great album through and through. The album cuts are good, singles are good, beats fire. My first outkast album from 1996 on, still might be my favorite.





Next Aquemini. Great album bordering on classic. Singles are all monstrous. Da art remix and da art pt 2 all timers. Skew it an all timer. A cpl more. Etc. only problem is it slows all the way the fukk down after the arts of storytellin tracks and I really dont find the end to be that dope or exciting at all; but dont get it twisted, I love this album for the most part.





Ok. Now Stankonia was actually looking forward to this because I forgot what it sounded like and I have been giving albums a chance that I rushed through before. I fukk with Outkast so I didnt even think twice about it.


….



Whats happening here?


…..

Wtf

….


Is this…. What I think it is?


….














TRASH



Oscar the grouch GARBAGE



How the fukk did kast fans get away with labeling this album as great and them goats. Youre lucky I ignored this album all this time cause I woulda been on a warpath against them stanleys for this pos getting props like that. I remember BBC said it was the greatest hip hop album of the 21st century. CaaaaaaaaCs





The singles: GREAT. I love the singles. So fresh, bob, ms jackson are all great outkst tracks. All 3 5/5. So its not like they didnt have it in them. And like I said, all previous kast albums I loved.



Thats 3 tracks. The MAYBE i “like” 1-3 more songs. I couldnt tell ya off head because i dont like a single one on the level of these 3; im actually being nice saying another 1-3. Maybe they 3.5/4 outta 5.



Thats 4-6 songs.



Then, this album has NINE fukking skits. What is this tical 2? That had 9 skits and half of em were 5-15 seconds long. That album got panned because of the skits but somehow kast finessed 9 skits on a 24 track album and got it called classic. Amazing.



4-6 good songs

8/9 skits
That leaves 7-9 mediocre to bad songs.





Man theres second round C tier wu killer bee albums better than this. People had the nerve to say it was better than The W. Wow. What an exaggeration.



The most incredible thing about this album is how highly rated it is while simultaneously being PAINFULLY mediocre.



If this album a classic then wtf are the other ones? Super classics? This album is a 3.5 micer ON A GOOD DAY. I mights been ok with it being so if it wasnt called this great piece of work. I was expecting a 4.5 mic album and got a realistic 3.


fukk this album. Thats all I got to say.

The problem is Stankonia followed ATLiens and Aquemini. Definitely not on the level of those albums. It's bloated and its their first album with wack songs. That said, it's still a good album. It's a critical darling of an album where critics have it as like a perfect album. To me, it's a 4/5 album.
