This is a show stomper. The newest album to date and the best! Outkast has really come a long way in there career and this album is a highlight. The two disc album is a masterpiece, every track is in the right order and has a message to give everytime. The love below is my favorite because it is something different and is funny yet has catching tunes in it. Speaker box is also a heavy hitter all i can say about it is that it (slaps) and i mean slaps real hard if you like to get crunk this is the album to listen to cause it gets you all pumped up its crazy. Some of the tracks are just so unstopable its crazy!!! it made me just want keep replaying the same track over and over again. Outkast has really put there heat and soul in to this one and it has captured mine. Eventhough ATLIENS was a awsome album this one i this flys beyond it.I give outkast all my respect in making this album and i hope that they will come out with heavy hitters like this again. I know i will be the first to buy it.

Let me start off by saying, I'm predominately a rock person. I absolutely love rock music, and sometimes R&B is okay, but it's mostly rock that I'm into. But Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is so awesome!!!! Outkast proved that they can be experimental with music and be very good at it. Personally, I liked The Love Below better than Speakerboxxx, but both of them are good quality records and I'd recommend it to anybody.

This CD is soooooooo awesome!!!! On The Love Below side, the song Roses is my favorite one! It has a great beat to it, and the words really make sense. On the Speakerboxxx side, The way you move is my favorite. Once you can memorize the words to these songs, it's really fun to sing along. You might wanna check out the music videos for these songs, too.

Lots or music, unique beats, and catchy tunes. Athlough I've never listened to Outkast before this CD, songs like "Hey Ya" and "The Way You Move" sparked my interest. Those songs are great, along with "Ghetto Music" and "Church." I'd have to say I like Speakerboxx better, but both CDs offer some pretty interesting music. Grab yourself a copy and spin those CDs for a while. It will be well worth your time.

This CD was my first Outkast album and it only makes me want more. Not only was I impressed by the album itself but that I got two albums for the price of one. The love below has some great mellow and hip-hoppy tunes while Speakerboxxx has some quick crazy beats.

The Andre 3000 cd is wild. A mix of Prince and Curtis Mayfield, a odd collection of mostly love songs and pleas for booty. The Big Boi cd is more conventional, but hardly what would you expect. Hard driving beats and intense lyrics. Easily the more listenable cd of the two. All alone Speakerboxxx is a million times better than anything Chingy or the countless other phonies could come up with. "The Way You Move" is the best rap/soul song of the year. The interludes get old along with the long intros. Any fan of Outkast, Dirty south, or hip-hop should snag this cd.

Oh my goodness, it was this close to being a five star album but there are just too many misses spanning the two cds compared to their bona fide classics, Stankonia and Aquemini. Although I still believe Aquemini is their best CD, I know see what made Stankonia such a great record: most of their experimental stuff worked in a way that it just doesn't here. On top of that, while this album may find Andre venturing right off the scale, the territory he's landed in isn't his speciality. His croons on the older records worked, but here they get annoying at times. Big Boi, on the other hand, sticks to similar grounds and far more tracks work on his CD than do on Andre's. Not to say theres a lack of innovation on Speakerboxxx, but it is more straight up funkafied hip hop. But even with these flaws, this is one of the best records to come out this year because where there are hits, they are some of the best available (think Ghettomusick, Dracula's Wedding, Hey Ya!, Flip Flop Rock). Outkast are the best thing goin in major label music and here's to hoping this double disc isn't signifying a future breakup of the guys.

Some of the songs I didnt like at first but after listening again I like both albums. I like how both artist's were able to experiment and create good music. If you like music with that old school feel to it, you should buy this double-cd!

This Album is Slammin'; Pick It Up as Soon as It Drops. Believe the HYPE. Andre 3000 & Big Boi Deliver the Goods Once Again; OutKast Continues to Raise the Bar / Rewrite the Book of Rap. All Fin MC's Take Notice; OutKast is Takin' You Back to School. All I Can Say is Stanx Andre & Big Boi for Makin' The Beatz fo' tha Bedroom and the Titty Bar.

Barnes & Noble - Brett Johnson
With this double-disc magnum opus, Outkast prove that as a group they exceed the sum of their parts. Splitting production responsibilities and artistic visions down the middle, Big Boi and Andre 3000 provide one big, genre-bending, futuristic gangsta's paradise but come up short on the cohesive masterpiece fans may have expected after Aquemini and the Grammy-winning Stankonia. Big Boi's Speakerboxxx is a hop, skip, and a jump from the latter's funky synth workouts, machine-gun drum patterns, ball-breaking bass, and rat-a-ta-tat rhyming. Closest to the OutKast of yore, Big Boi's 20-track disc doesn't have the infectious hooks of past releases. Still, tracks such as ...
