I purchased it because I love the song "Hey Ya". I didn't expect the whole album to be great but it actually is an excellent hip-hop record. I barely listen to this genre but these guys made me want to check them out more.
The Love Below is incredible. Very eclectic and well written. Unlike anything I've heard before
Speakerboxxx is a lot of fun. Not as good as The Love Below, but a good compliment to that cd.
but I do have some trip-hop and I like that. And one reviewer described Hey Yah! as sounding like Beck doing hip-hop (musically). And it's good to broaden my horizons musically. Can't be always locked in the past.
'Speakerboxxx' is fun but forgettable, but good golly - 'The Love Below' may turn out to be one of the most important recordings of this crappy decade. Andre 3000 just flat-out makes great music, borrowing from every genre under the sunny and giving it his own superfunky treatment.
It's a real hip hop album. I love Dre's album and when I first got the album I would only listen to it. Now I'm really into Speakerboxxx. As you listen to it I'm sure it will grow on you.
