Despite its title title, this is not a soundtrack for the Idlewild movie--almost no songs appear in the film. Instead, the tunes seem inspired by Idlewild's narrative themes. Outkast extends the eccentric streak that began on Stankonia and continued through The Love Below/Speakerboxxx. Fans of that last album may enjoy Idlewild's continued eclecticism, especially from Andre 3000, who seems to be moving further away from "rap" every moment toward some bizarre love child of Prince and Melvin Van Peebles. A song like "Mighty O," which actually features both Outkast members rhyming, is a refreshing throwback to the duo's earlier days, but Idlewild is mostly divided between songs from Andre and Big Boi, with few points of intersection. By far the strangest Outkast album they've ever released--and this is saying a lot--Idlewild is a heady, dizzying trip. Awkwardly disjointed at times, it undeniably certifies the group as one of the most adventurous that hip-hop has ever seen. It's not easy to love but it's hard not to respect. --Oliver Wang

 GREAT!!!!! January 7, 2008
This is by far their best album!Unique in a way that they are known for.For those that think this album is no good, open your mind!It's an ingenious album!
 "Greatest Show On Earth" music is Inconsistent with the Movie December 22, 2007
I recently purchased an "Idlewild" CD, the explicit music version of the show "Idlewild", specifically for the song "The Greatest Show on Earth" because, SPECIFICALLY, OF THE HORNS!!!!!!! BUT, (hint, hint, hint), when I bought the CD the song did not feature any HORNS!!!!! in the song "The Greatest Show on Earth". The horns in the movie made that song stand out like no other with power and BRAVO, and made me designate this song as the best I have ever heard, over all the rests. Yes, though, of course, the singer and other music, in the song, rocked too! The singer was great in that laid back, sophisticated style of genre play. She gave significance to being alive in a world of prejudice, hate, and suffering. But, again, though, the horns brought life to the song like beer (or fresh water for those of us who do not drink} running out of a rock on the side of a mountain. The horns made the song ROCK SOLID!!!!! The song JAMMED FOR ALL TIME SAKE!!!! That's in the movie, though. But when I listened to the CD there are no HORNS in that song; at least none that I can hear. Needless to say, I was very, totally, boiling, disappointed. In addition, guys, you also cut the song short; toooooo short. As it was getting ready to take off, it blahs out, like a mouse slamming into a wall!!!! The rest of the CD is good, though. But man, I'm telling you, the CD suffers and limps without the HORNS in the song of "The Greatest Show on Earth". I think Outkast knew this and just ripped everybody off!!! Bass saxophones, tenor saxophones, and trombones and trumpets (whatever they were) ROCKKKKEDD in the movie, but not on the CD. I won't buy another CD by Outkast again.

 A real diappointment. December 5, 2007
This is by far OutKast's worst album. I never though I would even be using the words 'worst' and 'OutKast' in the same conversation. Matter of fact, this was their only bad album. I am a die-hard outkast fan. Andre 3000 is my idol. However, I have to admit this album sux. I can't believe that Kast would even put out something of such low quality. They must of had a contract obligation to fulfil or something. I knew it would sound different because after all, it is an OutKast album, but damn, this Idlewild album sounds horrible.
Not they're best work but certainly not they're worst November 17, 2007
Continuing after the success of Speakerboxxx/Love Below is Idlewild. Its been a while since Ive heard Andre and Big Boi on the same tracks. This CD has a few of them on the same songs. First up is Mighty'O which, when I heard it at the time, I thought that the old 'Kast was back. Then after that song there was Big Boi and Dre going solo again. They get back together to do Hollywood Divorce with Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg( great verses by everyone on that one!), and they do 1 more together from the movie which I liked but cant remember the name of it. I loved the singing and all the jazz inspired tunes but what I really want,what I think everyone else wants is Andre Benjamin to come back to being a full time MC. The rap game needs him to spit knowledge to these kids. Hopefully the next album he will.

This cd was weird and horrible both at the same time! I can not describe my disappointment. If you really like Benjamin then you might like it, but if you love Outkast...don't buy it!
