"I pick this more because of the message, than it being their best album, if that makes any sense. The lyrics to this album are what sold it to me to be better than Absolution. 1-7 are great, 8 kinda sucks, but the symphony at the end makes up for it.

"From this album all the way to Speakerboxxx Outkast struck gold every time. ATLiens is one of my favorite Outcast song. Cooler than a polar bears toenails? Nothing beats that" Reply

"This is Sade's best album. It's also probably one of the best R&B albums ever produced. Sade's always been a great vocal expert, but this record is where her vocals are shown at the best angle." Reply

The lyrics range from..." [+] Reply
