I know some people bare grudges that Outkast outsold U2 on the first week, but this group is amazing.
I got the new Stankonia album and it is incredible. Along with Jurrassic 5 they are taking Rap into new directions. Unlike Jurrassic 5 who are updating old school styles, OUTKAST has found the Funk Clinton style(george that is) complete with interludes. But it's not a return to the past, it's plunging straight forward. The lyrics fromt he two are smart and intelligent, and hilarious when they want to be. Check out thier miss JAckson video which is funny and innovative and somehow touching. The ending is a perfect segueway into U2's Beautiful day video.
If you like rap, or want to check out some new rap, Jurassic 5 should be your first purchase, Outkast should be your second.
PS I also finally got Pj Harvey's new album, gawddamn it is amazing, just amazing...wow.

for there are brighter sides to life,
And I should know because I've seen them,
But not very often...
