Anyone listened to the Love Below and NOT liked it?

Most albums on this forum get a rather mixed reaction, but as for 3000's Love Below it seems that everyone loves or at least likes it. I fall into this category as well but wanna hear from those who didnt like it. Please explain your response as well.

Just go to the forums at SOHH.com, quite a few of the members dont like it and rate Speakerboxxx well above it.

Also, you should've just posted this in my original thread.

I like The Love Below but I think Speakerboxxx is a better album.

I work at a small music store in Indianapolis and most people who buy it want it for The Love Below. My manager hates it with a passion and refuses to listen to it anymore.

The Love Below kicks Speakerboxx's ass.

It's good, but several of the songs get really repetitive.

Really, really repetitive.

I figured if anyone had a gripe about it it would be the repetition. From my estimation that seems to be the only problem I could understand someone having unless they are completely not into his style. Other than the repetition (which I dont have a prob with) I think most music lovers will enjoy this one.

Music lovers might enjoy it, but not all of them that have loved Outkast for a long time.

I will listen to it because it was free with the Big Boi disc.

I have listened to Outkast since 1993 and Andre Benjamin (3000) was
one of the most unbelievable rappers ever, as far as delivery and what he had to say.

I'm extremely disappointed that he raps 3 verses on the entire album and does none on Big Boi's disc.

He does produce some and that's good.

But this isn't Outkast and anyone who thinks it is has to be kidding themselves.

It's nice to try different things but he went a bit too far.
He used damn near 80 minutes he could've at least included 4 or 5 solo rap joints instead of all that Prince-copycat stuff and filler.

The thing will Norah is cool and Happy Valentine's Day I like.

Hopefully we'll have another "real" OUtkast record some day.
But I doubt it.

Funny, the Prince-y stuff is the reason I like it so much... Then again, this is my first Outkast CD.

Aside from the obvious singles, "Speakerboxx" was a huge disappointment.
