The Quietus
Sir Luscious is an exquisite monster of an album, a classic before it's even a month old, and exceptionally consistent. For anyone with even a passing interest in the genre, it's truly life-affirming stuff

A great album that sounds nothing like any of the great albums he's already given us. From where I'm sitting, that's an even greater achievement

Even though he’s brought all his friends along for the ride, Sir Lucious Left Foot remains proof positive that Big Boi was never just “the other guy in Outkast." He’s a genius in his own right
