Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Both a soundtrack to their new feature film and a new album in its own right, Outkast's Idlewild feels every bit a worthy follow-up to Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, the double album that marked out Big Boi and Andre 3000 as two of the most talented populist-experimentalists working in hip-hop. In keeping with the film's 30s-themed premise, Idlewild sees blues, ragtime, jazz and vaudeville infiltrate further into the Outkast design: Andre 3000's "Idlewild Blue" is borne along on a spare, Johnny Cash-style guitar line, while "The Mighty O" - a rare track that features Andre and Big Boi together, rapping back to back – thieves its hook from Cab Calloway's classic "Minnie The Moocher". There's no shortage of special guests: Macy Gray crops up on chilling torch-song "The Greatest Show On Earth", Lil' Wayne and Snoop Dogg feature on "Hollywood Divorce", and Sleepy Brown – a tender-voiced R&B singer signed to Big Boi's Purple Ribbon Records – crops up on a number of tracks. Some may be disappointed by the closing "A Bad Note", an indulgent eight minutes of feedback, but truthfully there’s enough in the preceding 24 tracks to satisfy any Outkast fan that loved Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. The big question after that album was: will Outkast split up? The question now is: where can they go next? –-Louis Pattison


CD Description

'Idlewild' is the six studio album from Andre 3000 and Big Boi and the follow up to their multi-million selling double album 'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below'. The soundtrack to the film of the same name 'Idlewild' sees the duo once again pushing the boundaries of hip hop by incorporating genres that have never been used before. The album includes guest appearances from the likes of Snoop Dogg, Sleepy Brown and Macy Gray.

4.0 out of 5 stars A logical evolution, 9 Sep 2006
This album needs to be viewed in the context of Outkast's six previous albums, rather than just with reference to Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Hit singles such as Ms Jackson and Hey Ya thrust Outkast into the mainstream, but before this they had released 3 top quality albums. Southernplayalistic.., ATLiens and Aquemini appear to fall more easily into the rap genre, but were just as progressive both lyrically and musically, albeit in a less obvious way.

Idlewild represents an amalgamation of the various ideas that Outkast have experimented with over the past 12 years or so - they really have been around that long. We have Big Boi's synthetic beats and 'Rooster' rapping style from Speakerboxxx, and Andre's jazz piano and singing was a recurrent theme on The Love Below. Going back further, rapping styles characteristic of Stankonia - think Gasoline Dreams in particular - are revived on 'The Mighty O', and the jumpy blues theme as tried in Aquemini can be heard throughout. With so much going on it can be hard to notice the tangy guitar licks so prevalent on ATLiens underneath everything, but they are there in the more soulful songs.

Idlewild's new twist, the musical theme, is arguably far less groundbreaking than some of the artistic leaps Outkast have taken in the past.

With Idlewild, they are now singing from the same hymn sheet with a result that is pleasing to listen to, if slightly too vaudeville for some. As a consolation, the sound is funked-up to a degree extreme by even Outkast's standards, and the collaborations work well.

The real question is, where do they go from here? Idlewild feels like a consolidation based around the temporary theme of the musical, and hence it may be something of a stop-gap. It looks like Antwon is going to be another rapper turned actor. I have a suspicion that Andre would love to produce a rock album. He could be the next Jimi Hendrix.. or maybe just the next Bing Crosby if the affair with swing turns into something more permanent.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars for nostalgia, 22 Aug 2006
By C. Cowley "funcdoc" (Middlesbrough) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First of all, I'm a massive Outkast fan and got into them just before Aquemini came out (which is their best album by far). I'm all for musical growth, but it just feels disjointed. I know they recorded separately, and I think you can tell in the styles of the tracks.

I wasn't a massive fan of 'The Love Below' and the direction Dre was taking....so I was dubious, but will still continue to buy Outkast albums until they stop recording them. Dre was the best lyricist in hip hop for 5 years or so, but the 'singing' tracks all seem to blend into one eclectic style. Don't get me wrong, Dre's contributions to Idlewild are much better than 'The Love Below'......but overall it just doesnt feel like an Outkast album.

There are good tracks on here without a doubt, that are reminiscent of what Outkast evolved into....but I feel there are a few filler tracks.....and Outkast were never capable of 'fillers'. All the 'new Outkast fans' will love this......and the rest will enjoy half the tracks hoping that Dre wants to start dropping lyrical gems again and give us all that classic 'hip hop' 'kast album.
