this rate made me really appreciate ATLiens more as a whole. Ive kinda been sleeping on it until now
like i had heard all the songs but never together as an album experience ( i never bought the album, for whatever reason) and its definitely their most enjoyable album as a whole, besides Stank, to me now. also, this might be OT i just read the OP again and maybe Im misunderstanding but I dont think youre giving SB/TLB enough credit, Roses is a top 10 Outkast song to me and overall i find both those albums really fun to listen to. I miss the dynamic of them playing off eachother on the tracks, and it does get a bit long with it being a double disc, but still has plenty of gems imo
