The album is great with of 5 excellent tracks that really stand out from the rest. While not quite on the level of Stankonia it's a very very close second and well worth a listen if you liked any of Outkast's previous releases.

With most great albums, it usually takes several listens before its quality becomes clear. However after one spin the quality reveals itself from the get go. More importantly, you know that the album is going to get better with each and every listen. And it does...
The first half of the album consists of the more upbeat funky numbers, while the second half takes a more down-tempo route. The production is top-notch and there is just so much going on with layers upon layers of brilliant and wonderful sound. The music is simply superb!
I always (unfairly) thought Andre was the more talented half of Outkast. This album emphatically demonstrates just how wrong you can be. I would go as far to say that this up there with Prince at his most creative peak. If you like good music, not necessarily quality hip-hop, then this album is up there with one of the better albums you will hear this year. Well worth investing the time and money to get to know it.

4.5 Stars for a Brilliant First Solo Album - Just a Tiny Bit of Room for Improvement
20 July 2010
Format:Audio CD
This album has been much hyped, and much awaited, and I was so excited when I finally got hold of it. I am a big Outkast fan, and I felt that the split album 'Speakerbox/ The Love Below' showed that Big Boi had huge potential for a solo record. Finally it is here!
Overall, I think the album is an excellent start. It's got Big Boi written all over it - very funky, with a smooth feel and an easy-going yet also assertive style of lyrical delivery. Big Boi isn't quite as experimental with his sound as Andre 3000, but he is still innovative, and the beats on this album will testitfy to that, as they are quite varied.
Lyrically, I felt that the album flitted between the sharp and observant and the more mundane. There's some great wordplay and humorous non-sequitors, but there are also bits that are less lyrically impressive. There's a fair dose of boastful bravado and lady-loving, but Big Boi doesn't let it doesn't drop too much into the gutter, unlike so many rappers today. His violence is mostly in the context of what he will do if you try and put him down, rather than boasting about fighting and killing every day. However, I will admit that I was a little disappointed that quite a few of the lyrics are dedicated to boasting, talking about how great it is that he is back and so on.
Having said that, his delivery throughout the album is superb. His rhymes are incredibly dexterous, and unlike some other rappers he never sounds strained, even when rapping extremely fast. His voice has rich, rounded sound which gives him a big vocal presence.
I think it's a shame that Andre 3000 couldn't appear on any of the tracks (apart from producing 'You ain't no DJ'). I heard that record label blocked any vocal appearance, though that may not be true.... Read more ›

From a long time fan of Outkast and Dungeon Family. After Big Boi's half of Speakerboxx I expected him to really excel and display his talents here. But he's taken a half step backwards. Sir Lucious is not a bad album, but there's no stand out tracks and it all sounds luke the more mediocre of his previous efforts.
I know Andre is the one known for pushing boundaries, but it was always Boi that was leading the way with real hip hop. He's just had a minor slip here.

I don't really like writing long reviews, so all I'll say is this: I really liked "Daddy Fat Sax", "Turns Me On", "Shuttebugg" and "Fo Yo Sorrows", the rest of the tracks are either good or really great, so this album is definitely worth a purchase.
Unfortunately, Andre 3000 does not appear on this album due to label politics, which kind of sucks, but the album's still great.

As a fan of a lot of genres of music I was intrigued by the reviews this album was getting, saying it wasn't just plain old hip-hop but a kaleidoscope of musical ideas. And how correct those reviews were! From the opening low bass of 'Feel Me' to the bounce of closer 'Back Up Plan' this album never looses interest or lets go, and considering it is 15 tracks long that is a real achievement. Big Boi shows the new kids how its done with his trademark hyper speed flow and bounce.
This album can't fail to disappoint, and offers everything you could want. I can only wait with excitement to see what the new Outkast album is like considering how good this is!

I've bought a lot of albums this year and most haven't lived up to the hype or the artist's previous work so I had everything crossed that Big Boi wouldn't fall into this trap. Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty does NOT disappoint!
From start to finish this album oozes the class and originality you'd expect from one half of Outkast. Everything goes into the melting pot without affecting the album's continuity. Clever rhymes, great beats and all the guest artists compliment the songs instead of just being 'flavour of the month' features.
Big Boi is on top of his game and as he showed on Speakerboxxx he's got so much to offer when he steps out from the shadow of Andre 3000's larger-than-life persona. If you're a fan of Outkast you'll love this. If you're a fan of good hip hop then this is for you.

Good... but not quite Speakerboxxx
I'm the kind of person who found Speakerboxxx the far better album of the double classic Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Read more

Still got it.
Big Boi's flow and lyrical content is smoking as ever. The production quality is also of the highest caliber.

ATL's best!
I hope this album gets the attention and accolade it deserves as it's a ridiculous album. Outkast have always(well minus Idlewild which did have some great songs) made great albums... Read more
