Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

I was curious how this album has aged with you guys. I can't stand it (The Love Below, anyway).

Wish it had lived up to the promise of GhettoMusick. Remember when that single came out?

i still really like 'hey ya' and 'roses'.

as an album though, it just doesnt compare to aquemini

Classic double album syndrome. Should have been a single.

This said, I still love:

Ghettomusik
Unhappy
The Way You Move
Hey Ya
Prototype
She Lives In My Lap
Spread
Roses

Which is pretty much how I feel about Stankonia too.

Aquemni is their classic.

Speakerboxxx just doesn't grow on me...

I like The Love Below as a whole, it's great as an album, but not all tracks can standout on their own.

i never really think about it, i never play it, and i'm glad i decided to wait until i find it used....
but "ghettomusick" brings back some good times, so it's not like i can't stand it.

and i'm pretty sure i still have a soft spot for "my favorite thing"

I haven't touched "The Love Below" probably since late 2003. Outside of a couple of great moments ['Spread', 'She Lives in My Lap', still 'Hey Ya!'], it's a masturbatory mess that I have no interest in listening to. Phooey to you, Andre 3000.

"Speakerboxxx", on the other hand, still sounds as fantastic as it did when it came out. Still a little sloppy near the end, but a killer nonetheless. If Prince ain't gonna make albums like this anymore, I'm glad someone is.

Take care,
James

The Love Below is still my favourite "OutKast" disc, although I prefer ATLiens over the double album as a whole. Second behind that, though.
