5 out of 5 stars Interesting!   February 18, 2008

I bought this for a friend so I really never listened to it myself. But from what I did hear, The Love Below is the better half of the two CD's. I love the fact that Andre can break out of the rap box and make it sound oh so good.

Well after having reached my 50 fourth bithdate i thought i had no taste for such sound, see here, i was wrong!



5 out of 5 stars Amazing from Andre 3000   January 31, 2008
I enjoyed this album. Big Boi delivered the rap side of the group, with conscious/philosophical songs like: "Church" and "War" along with others. Yet to me it was blown away when I first hit play one Andre 3000 "The Love Below." He opens the LP with a beautiful upbeat jazz song. The rest of it goes together something close to Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?" album, where you can play it all the way through and not enjoy each song. My favorite tunes from "The Love Below": She Lives in My Lap, Take Off Your cool, A Day in the Life of Andre Benjamin.

3 out of 5 stars Two albums in one, two good halfs in four   September 11, 2007

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is less a double album than a pair of solo records from Big Boi and Andre 3000. They so rarely collaborate here that either one participates on each other's material less than the guest appearances by other artists (Big Boi's is loaded with them). Naturally, Andre's is the one with the most promise (and payoff, though the quality is closer than one expects).

Speakerboxxx has just as many lame ones as winners. The frenetic "GhettoMusick," the bouncy "The Rooster," the silky single, "The Way You Move," and the surprisingly sly and melodic "Church" are really the only ones worth the attention. But The Love Below delivers a number of strong moments, none greater than the undeniably joyous groove of "Hey Ya," one of the best singles of the year.

But both discs are overlong (especially Andre's), with too many filler tracks and unnecessary interludes, an epidemic in the hip hop community that's bordering on parody right now. About as uneven an album that will ever come out, but the high points are well worth slogging through the mire to find.

Best cuts: "Hey Ya!" "GhettoMusick," "Prototype," "The Way You Move," "Love Hater," "Roses," "Spread," "Church," "Pink & Blue," "The Rooster," "Take Off Your Cool," "Knowing"
