"Second time's the charm, I guess. How could I possibly have been so wrong? This is a masterpiece. A FRIKEN MASTERPIECE. I don't know. I guess I was in the right mood today. It just... it sounds SO GOOD. His voice and the guitars and the energy and emotion... it's mind-boggling. And that album cov..." [+] Reply

"Intimate, not whiny. Emotional, not overacted. Confident, not self-indulgent. Original, not recycled. Telling, not yelling. That's why this album is so great and the ones that came after it aren't." Reply

"I was never that crazy about Spoon until I heard this album. The great synths and punchy rock songs make this album much different from their previous material. Also, I love the production especially with the drums which sound very crisp. Great energy, very catchy, this is their best album yet in..." [+] Reply

"A buffet of music. Some really good stuff, some strange stuff, some fluff, some stuff that really grows on you. I can understand all the crap this album got back in the day. Realeased today it would be called a masterpiece. And, in many ways, it is." Reply

"Released as an Outkast album, it's the Boi on one disc and Andre on the other.

Favorites on disc 1 are the hyper-frenetic "ghettomus..." [+] Reply

"A very sad album, but a good listen. He clearly knows he hasn't much time left with some of his song choices - In My Life, We'll Meet Again etc. His voice is clearly going in some of the tracks - In My Life is sung out of tune. Hurt for me is the stand-out track. Very poignant." Reply
