I voted Stankonia by reflex but I think if I were to listen to Stank and SLLF back to back with "fresh" ears I would probably find that I like Big Boi's album more, on balance, than I do OutKast's.

And I think you nailed it when you said Stank has the songs you love most/the highest highs, with Big a close 2nd. And I also agree that Stank doesn't have outright *bad* songs, just a couple of uncharacteristic misfires.

And again I'm with you re: OST and Redman being the most front to back consistent, even if the "highs" aren't as high on those 2 as Big and OutKast.

I realize I'm not adding much here lol. But I guess I'll rank like this:

OutKast
Big Boi
(^those two can maybe be flipped if I go and listen this wknd, will report back if I do)
Redman
PUtS

But they're all good to great.
