Was actually a bit disappointed (in a non hater way)

That albums nice, fresh, a bit experimental and got some soul. But for me the songs and lyrical content aren't that strong. It's good easy listening tho.

6.5/10

[Lunatic]

1. Ascending - n/a
2. The Thickets - 3.5/5. Nice intro, has an opening feel.
3. Apple of my Eye - 4.25/5. Very experimental but I love it
4. Objectum Sexuality - 4/5. - Pretty much how I feel about #3

5. In the A - 4.5/5. Absolute banger, one of the biggest hip-hop tracks this year
6. She Hates Me - 4.25/5. Great subject matter, nice flow and hook.
7. CPU - 3.75/5. Experimental again but its fresh
8. Thom Pettie - 4.25/5. Nice to see Killer Mike on here, this is dope

9. Mama Told Me - 4/5. This first single has really grown on me
10. Lines - 4.25/5. Nice collab with ASAP that feels organic
11. Shoes for Running - 4.5/5. Easily one of my favorite tracks
12. Raspberries - Kind of a skit but I can listen to it

13. Tremendous Damage - 4.25/5. Really nice closer with some subject matter
14. Descending - N/A.

15. High Res - 2/5. The one blemish on here
16. Gossip - 4.25/5. Southern feel, southern anthem!
16. She Said Ok - 4/5. Always dug this track

Love this album

This one is easily in my top 3 albums of the year. Wish there were more Organized Noize tracks in it!

true, it's a bit more experimental for Big Boi (Shoes for Running, Raspberries, CPU, Tremendous Damage etc.), he should have kept it funky as in Mama Told Me. I like his first album more

no one else has checked this? I'm gonna go cop this today. Always been a fan of OutKast. Last solo effort from Big Boi was solid.

I'm starting to like Big Boi more than Andre.  To me I think they made choices on beats and songs based on the success of the Big Boi/Black Keys mashup.  Which I liked.  I really like this album.  I've been playing it A LOT the last week.

3 Stacks is more creative than Big Boi. It's been a long time since he's released anything, but when the time comes you'll remember

[doggfather]

gonna check later today.

[hellbent]

got 2 check out this album

[Blood$]

haven't even heard this whole album yet but I'll most likely just go buy it off the strength of "In The A" and "Lines", those are thumpers

[J$crILLa]

its good. sir lucious leftfoot was 10x better tho

never bought that.

i always thought 3000 was more hipsterish and such, with big boi being more traditionally southern rap - but not "less" creative really.

[Lunatic]

Big Boi is extremely creative and shows so on this album. 3 Stacks is creative but most of his verses lately have been about women (albeit dope -- Sorry, Pink Matter, Drake's album etc)

[LAZY]

albums not bad. im a lil stuck on Jesus Piece right now, but iv gave this a few spins. Thickets, Thom Pettie, Lines, Gossip & of course In The A.. man In The A is a monster, definitely needs to be a single, TI and Big Boi tear the shit up.. wheres the outro from? that shit is too true.. WHY DO U JUST SPECIALIZE IN FUN THINGS! lol
