Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
At a time when experimentation is taboo in most overground rap, that's all Outkast seem intent on executing. Firstly, the double CD Speakerboxxx/The Love Below has no cohesive link, other than the fact that it sounds like a pair of solo albums stitched together to demonstrate exactly how Andre's yin works to augment Big Boi's yang. Andre 3000's The Love Below disc rates as the more eclectic of the two, given that, on it, he's turned in his emcee credentials to become a full-on funk-soul-jazz vocalist who mostly sings about items of love ("Happy Valentine's Day"), carnal lust ("Spread") and female adoration ("Prototype"). Minus the big band schmaltz of "Love Hater" and cheesy cover jobs ("My Favorite Things"), Andre's disc is great.

As is to be expected, the Big Boi disc is less arty, more gangsta and worldly, and features the less-progressive guest raps of ATL crunk purveyors Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz ("Last Call") and Jay-Z, who rhymes the hook on "Flip Flop Rock". Unlike Big Boi, Andre keeps his collaborations to a minimum, once crooning alongside Norah Jones on the cool yet sappy "Take Off Your Cool", and once with Kelis. Boi fulfils his Dungeon Family duty with flying colours by flipping some dirty southern up-tempo raps over electro beats on "GhettoMusick". By the time Cee-Lo sermonises on "Reset", Speakerboxx and Love Below rate mostly as majestic and inspiring, with the remaining 23 per cent being just plain incredible. --Dalton Higgins
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - for once, believe the hype
it's ridiculous how much this album is slated. People seem unable to appreciate OutKast without comparing this to their old work. The fact is that they managed to combine hiphop with a range of musical styles AND IT WORKS. There's no need to give examples, cos cases can be made for all the songs. Admittedly there are songs which seem to be dwarfed by the rest, but that just shows the strength of the other songs.
people say they gave this album one listen and couldn't do it again. their loss. Speakerboxxx/Love Below takes a few listens to fully appreciate, but once you do, you won't regret it


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic!
I took a chance on this and boy am I glad I did.
I'll be honest and tell you this review is based solely on the Andre 3000 cd. I'm not even bothered by the other one.
It is simply the best set of songs I have heard for longer than I care to remember. Being a middle aged white man I normally listen to rock, country, 70's, mor, aor.
I can't get over how original and fresh this sounds.
Great tunes, great lyrics, great production.
Genius.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Outkast indeed !!
I personally have never understood OUTKAST, i mean their not REALLY hip-hop now are they? Anyhow, i would have to say that this double album is pretty good value for for money, especially if you want to listen to something different no matter what genre you into. Disk 2 (The Love Below) is muuuuucch better than Speakerboxx which has only one or possibly two good tracks on the whole thing. There is even a bonus of having 'hey ya' on The Love Below which will please all you radio heads out there no end.... Literally no end to it !!! All in all good, but not great.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A landmark rap album - for people who don't like rap
Think you don't like rap much? Then definitely buy this ground breaking double album.

Oukast are a duo but this is effectively two solo albums for the price of one. Andre 3000's "The Love below" is the more adventurous of the two discs. Forget any preconceptions you might have about rap as a musical genre - this hugely ambitious project actually involves very liitle rapping. What you get instead is in effect almost a potted history of black popular music featuring everything from orchestrated show tunes, to Jazz, soul, funk, R n B and yes even a little rap woven around a loose concept about the trials and tribulations of Andre's love life. There are even a few very funny spoken interludes between some of the tracks which help to ... Read More:
