if bud and chet can do an album MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR, than andre 3000 can make kind of black.

I haven't heard the Bud & Chet album in question, but this comparison doesn't sound too promising. :)

I still wanna know how Crouch is going to spin this one...

See, it's the artists themselves - Miles, Trane, and now Jim - who would have less of a problem with this than their obsessive and often closed-minded fans. :lol:

I thought the love below was absolutely brilliant, and Questlove is an absolute monster. I can't imagine anyone thinking The Love Below is overrated or mediocre, let alone poor.

'TLB' was hot garbage & barely listenable. Amazing what hype can do for a record.

However, I agree with you about ?uesto. The Roots, now there is a band that has put out consistently good to excellent albums. Can't wait for "Game Theory".

I think The Roots, and even ?uestlove, should be ?uestioned every once in a while as well. I would rate their music on a scale from consistently 'skip' to consistently excellent. The good to excellent scale would apply to Do You Want More???????, however.

Even my favorite rap albums by my favorite rappers have songs that I skip. I don't listen to any of my Roots albums or Outkast albums or De La Soul or Mos Def all the way through...none of them. There's always a stinker or two or more.

Jazz has by far the most albums which I will listen to all the way through, but there's tons which I won't.

With you on the Roots, but what's your beef with TLB? I've heard few with so violent response to the material...

Anyway--on the Wynton thing; however it's spun, how/why did he agree to this?

I'm looking forward to the album--not only as a fan of Outkast, but as a dabbler in jazz remixes/reworks in general. Massive train wreck potential, but at least we have two consistently challenging artists (whatever the appraisal) working with some prime material. If it blows, I guess we can all shut it up in the 'best left forgotten' closet.
