"Released as an Outkast album, it's the Boi on one disc and Andre on the other. And while Andre scored the biggest hit "hey ya!" that everyone from your grandma to your grandson loves, Boi delivers the most consistent goods throughout his disc. Favorites on disc 1 are the hyper-frenetic "ghettomus..." [+] Reply

"Feels like a day in a city ruled by teenaged graffiti artists. It's guitars are wild, the drums are spontaneous in the beginning and Karen O likes the fact that you're breaking the rules and the cops are chasing you. She's like that laid-back, cool girl who joins the gangs who ride motorcycles an..." [+] Reply

"I've got to say, this is not a great album, not musically, not lyrically, not innovative, you can say it all sounds the same, but at the end what does it matter. I was 12 years old when this album came out, I couldnt stop listening to it, it was simply the best for me back then. Honestly Linkin P..." [+] Reply

"Illinois and Michigan are both beautiful albums, but for different reasons. They both seem to explore similar thoughts and feelings, but in different ways. Where Illinois seems like a musical put on by schoolchildren that exceeds everyone's expectations and ends up being better than most Broadway..." [+] Reply

"Yes, it is so incredibly good that many of the tracks are still ranking at or around 90. If you've never heard this album, it's because it's by Ween. Just about everybody, at a certain point before this album, wrote Ween off as a novelty band (and rightfully so, at least for the early 90s). Howev..." [+] Reply

"There's this suaveness, this snarky edge, but undeniably boyishness to it. I'm reminded of Pip living in London, learning to be a gentleman. There's a high class presence, but there's still the fragile, infinitely endearing charm and sincerity to Dear Catastrophe Waitress that makes this an essen..." [+] Reply
