  Idlewild: Hope is Important: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Idlewild is a band that's been unfairly tagged "punk-revivalists." But while there are a handful of straight-ahead punk songs on Hope is Important, the band's punk attitude and throttle fuses with a more palatable rock modus operandi on the record's brightest moments.
What truly sets Idlewild apart from the unwashed masses of wannabe punk bands that follow the yellow prick road paved by the Sex Pistols and the Exploited, though, are the distinct traces of indie rock influences-- from Husker Du to Superchunk-- that percolate up through their punkish rush.
As a punk band, Idlewild is nothing special: they've got no political agenda, they're not ugly enough to use their social frustrations as fodder for songs, and they don't piss off government officials.

This critic had to piece together who shot whom from the ending sequences, the distraction of the real-life brawl given a heightened urgency amidst the sound of movie gunfire.
Between that, the sped-up and slo-mo footage for childish naught, and the thoughtless anachronisms (Rooster calls himself a "bow-tie pimp"), it's obvious that Barber has no particular interest in or reverence for the era, and his gimmickry is hardly fresh enough to detract from everything else that's pedestrian.
Even the genre-bouncing Idlewild album itself (don't call it a soundtrack!) has only a few inspired tracks compared to any of Outkast's past work (ripping off Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher" wholesale is hardly imaginative), and its lyrics simply don't push the plot forward, thereby stopping the momentum dead whenever anyone starts singing or dancing.

 Idlewild (OutKast album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Idlewild is an OutKast album released on August 22, 2006.
The album's first single, "Mighty 'O'", features both André 3000 and Big Boi; the song takes its lyrical hook from the Cab Calloway song "Minnie the Moocher" ("Mighty-ighty-ighty O") and seems to be an example of the album's mix of hip hop and more traditional American musical styles.
"Idlewild Blue" delves into the blues genre, complete with a blues-style acoustic guitar riff and a harmonica element reminiscent of Aquemini single "Rosa Parks".
