Tydeligvis ikke alle som er like fornøyd som gutta selv:
I have had it with Andre 3000’s bullshit. Now Outkast may very well be my favorite Hiphop duo that’s still rapping at a relevant level (when they rap that is) but enough is enough. I’ll meet them halfway on Idlewild by skipping the useless skits and accepting the fact that they’ve decided to become a space-pop group. I’ll accept that Big Boi decided that he needs overly lush production and constant R&B hooks to remain “creative” Hell, I’ll even let Andre get by on his blues n’ Prince imitations for the first half of the disc since they’re short and painless. All in all, the album has nine very fun songs even if they make Gnarls Barkley sound rugged and rough by comparison. It even has 3 or 4 more decent ones depending on how much of their self-indulgence you can take, songs with crappy hooks or concepts that I’ll let slide since it’s a film soundtrack of sorts.
Tom Breihan fra Village Voice har vært på Idlewild listening party:
It's still not a proper OutKast album; Andre and Big Boi only come together to rap on two tracks, both of which have already leaked. It's basically a sequel to Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, except that now the solo tracks are on the same disc, and they're sequenced so they're all jumbled up next to each other. It's clear from the opening skit, where Andre brings back his fucking irritating fake British accent, that we're in for another pretentious mess. But it's even worse now, since Andre's wannabe Prince nonsense has bled over to most of Big Boi's solo tracks.
Og for spesielt interesserte, endelig et Biggie & Gnarls Barkley mash up album
The Gnotorious Barkley
