Jun 7, 2025 at 4:54 AM @AOTWClub Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot… The Son of Chico Dusty Decent project but nothing I would listen to again, not really much to say about the project it self. I had a really a hard time reviewing this because if you compare it to an Outkast album, they are all like 5 times better. This would be a 2/10 compared to them as they are mostly 10/10 albums. On normal scale though I would give this a 5.5/10. If I never heard an Outcast album before I would probably rate it higher but pretty much the whole listen I was thinking I would rather be listening to an Outkast album rn. 5.5/10
Jun 7, 2025 at 6:15 AM Which OutKast albums would you rate a 10? If you say Speakerboxx, I might have to question your taste.

Jun 8, 2025 at 4:22 PM (The forum kept going out of service while writing, so I apologize for the wait) There are many artists that have widely agreed upon "best albums". Most people say that Illmatic is Nas' best, Daft Punk's is Discovery, and so on. But some artists have multiple candidates for this title. Whether it be Pink Floyd or David Bowie, many artists have multiple albums that can be considered their best. And when it comes to one of the most beloved bands ever, I certainly have a favorite. My fourth pick for AOTW Club is.... The Beatles - The Beatles (White Album) The Beatles, also known as the White Album has to be one of the most fascinating records ever made. As the band's ninth record, The Beatles is a postmodern work who's production essentially led to the band's breakup in 1969. The White Album also serves as the defining point where the Fab Four really started developing into their own solo artists, which means that the songs attributed to each Beatle can be radically different from one another. The record encompasses the political turmoil that permeated throughout 1968, and it arguably serves as the band's most political album, to the point that Charles Manson believed that the record was an apocalyptic message (This is how I feel about Revival btw) The album's variety makes it a bit divisive, as even though it contains absolutely classic tracks like "Where My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Blackbird" and "Revolution 1", it also has some some questionable pieces like "Wild Honey Pie". I think that viewing The Beatles as a stream of creativity definitely helps the experience, and the innovations in genres like blues (Yer Blues), Heavy Metal, (Helter Skelter) sound collages (Revolution 9) make the White Album one of the most influential records ever made. It is a tad bit long, but I hope that everybody enjoys the experience. @AOTWClub @Justin Trudeau
Jun 8, 2025 at 4:42 PM The WHITE album?!? Oh great, just what we needed, white supremacist music. First it was Silver Jews and now it’s The WHITE power album!!! So much racism in this group.
