| | Outkast: "Hey Ya": Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | When Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is finally released, it looks like Andre 3000's contributions will command the bulk of initial dialogue surrounding the record, since what he's doing (or isn't: there's a notable dearth of proper raps) is both different and generally more rock critic-friendly than anything the group has previously done. |
 | | And on the evidence of "Hey Ya", the strongest and most enduring of the leaked tracks so far, that attention will be deserved. |
 | | Songs that cram as many moments of sheer surprise and joy as "Hey Ya" has don't tend to retain their impact over time, but this track not only had my neck snapping on first listen, but leaves my head bobbing and a smile on my face with every subsequent play. |
