Embarrassingly, this was the first time I have ever sat and listened to an OutKast album front to back. Coming in at over an hour long (usually enough to put me off anything), Stankonia is a massive album full of beats big and small, insanely clean and at times experimental production, a metric tonne of solid gold bars, and some of the catchiest hooks ever laid down on wax. It covers so many bases in its run time without ever overstaying its welcome, honestly dare I say a masterpiece of an album. If I had to make one criticism, I don't think the interludes bring enough to the table, but they also don't stick around long enough to take anything away and do provide a breather between an album full of insanely well crafted songs. This is an easy 5 and I cannot believe I have lived for nearly 30 years without this album in my life.
