I got a lot of heat for saying this in an old thread about that album but for as much as I liked it, they sorely missed Prince Pauls vibe. They came across as hectoring grumps and complainers instead of just making good music to counteract the bullshyt going on at the time.

Word?

That's wild. I think for most of us diehard fans back then, that's how it was. I was still a kid, but I could definitely tell the difference in the whole vibe. They were only 7 years into their career and were coming off like angry old dudes. Because I was so into the group, I didn't like that.

I was literally a kid saying, "I love the album, but they're complaining about other people rather than just doing what THEY do!" I think a lot of their fans got turned off by that too. We're not alone, bro, lol.

hope it's a hell of alot better than Anonymous Nobody, I tried many times to get into that album since I'm a De La fan and outside of a few tracks it just didn't do it for me
it was a bit sleepy but it had songs

So if this is coming this month hopefully we get a single or some more info soon. Hyped for this one.

The last De La album was cool but it was pretty experimental. With Prince Paul on board I'm hoping this is back to some classic De La raps and beats.

I really liked it, especially the track with David Byrne. Really hanging my hopes on this, I've been disappointed with everything after Slick. This one has huge potential though.
