Label: LaFace Records /Sony BMG

Produktion: OutKast/Organized Noize

Über das Album:

Für ATLiens produzierten Big Boi und André 3000 (damals noch Dre) erstmals selbst, unter anderem ihre erste Top 20-Single Elevators (Me & You) (Platz 12 in den Billboard Hot 100). Weitere Singles waren der Titelsong (Platz 35) und Jazzy Belle als den Sänger und Produzenten Babyface featurenden Remix (Platz 52).

Der Sound des Albums ist im Vergleich zu Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik ruhiger und kryptischer die G-Funk-Einflüsse sind verschwunden. Mehr noch als beim Debüt basieren die Songs auf melodiöser Live-Instrumentation (vor allem Gitarre und E-Bass). Die Texte, in erster Linie von Dre, sind introvertierter und verzichten größtenteils auf die bisherige „Gangster"-Attitüde. Laut RapReviews.com sollte man das Album in völliger Dunkelheit hören.

Der Titel des Albums ist ein Kofferwort aus „Atlanta" (kurz „ATL"), der Heimatstadt von OutKast, und „Aliens", um die außerirdische Symbolik des Albums zu verdeutlichen. Wahrscheinlich verweist es auch auf die Außenseiterrolle, die Rapper aus Atlanta, bzw. den Südstaaten damals noch innehatten.

I still remember seeing you the last timeI didn't think It would really be the last hiYou nodded your head I nodded mine backSchool was over it was time to leave classYou had a benie on like always I was in my BMWBumping 2pac Life Goes On, the anthem for youFor the ones that don't make it to see tomorrowI place my position in yours where souls wallowIn lonely dark streets where you're touched by a cold breezeAnd don't realize what's happened until you can't go back homeIts true your life has ended over something you could've left aloneBut the touch of a swisher sweet burning between your teethWas more powerful than the thought of a regular human beingLevitating with the power of smoke from a plant called weedThat let it all go where your heart and happiness meetGreeted by a fellow that caused both to feel peace

This is life or deathI remember you pressed to my chestWish I could have kept you higher than the restThis darkness that I went throughLeft us starving and possessedFed up with being friendsThere you stand alone out of hundreds of menI search through the crowd until the world endsEyes wet with convictionMy sensory's swimmin with visionsOf our unborn childrenI'll never get to witness the growth of their wisdomToo late I depicted the strain of our kinshipI saw you suffering from a distanceWhile I myself started slippingHelpless to addictionFrom which our broken hearts imprisoned, meSending fourth angels to scour the planesPulled the arrows from my back and taken aimLaying naked and afraidI caress your face and feel your painAs if our bodies had been pierced by the same stakeDeceit and shameI feel insaneWhispering your name as I drift awayHoping to see you when I wakeReality is dark these daysWithout your light I fear i'll never see myself again.

The worst thing you can take advice from is your heartIts been corrupt by the media, telling you that fate will play its partEverything will work outNo need to be in doubtLogic, nah, don’t wanna bombard my fantasy world, its where I dwell.A tale of fate and coincidence will always pertain a girlFearing to let go, wishing a cosmic fairy will stop pretending endearing what feels like eternal torture and pain an image of her face keeps popping up again and again and again in my brainfearing to sleep, her appearances in my dreams is a nightmarethat im compelled daily  to barefearing to wake up, seeing her is a momentary blissapprehensive to utter a single word just takes me back to hell, so used to the feeling I know my neighbours, cause its where I liveive turned into a masochistits an addictionmy mind is messed up, the image of our first kiss is us violently kissing playing in my head, wishing life was like a fairytale moviethis way of thinking is what keeps me slipping in this abyss deeper and deeper caught in my on thoughts locked in my own worlddreaming things will go my way without me liftinga finger and hoping she will lingeraround waiting for me to get my head right to get my self righttumelo was right courage is something you have to practice at a young agefearing rejection is cowardly, you just get completely immersed in your prideand get stuck on the same book, chapter and pageand you lose the one of the two things that allows you to live life: faithI bathe in guilt and regret Feel pathetic as human beingAtleast in the past I used to hide it so wellI can tellPeople can feel, hear, taste, touch, see and smell my unhappinessAnd it is all due to a girlNot in anyway is it her faultOne of my friends insinuated that it iss, I agreed with him, deep down I knew I was wrongShe’s quite awesome even if we have never been in a conversationNever judge a book by its cover is what they sayBut there is this mystique about herHer eyes are the window to her soul, her soul is breath takingThat’s all I need to knowThat is beauty at its purest stateI cant wait for fate to dictate my lifeLife is to short and its not worth waitI know im licked before even commencing, but I got to go throughwith this all the way. “You rarely win, but sometimes you do” The conscience does not abide by majorities rule if you see this it means I inflated balls and finally told you the truthIts proof that when you courages you don’t always lose
