Haven't liked an album of his post 2000. Del was my nicca though

like Deltron, or any of his other albums for that matter. Personally all his B-sides and unreleased from the "I Wish/No Need" era are good enough to compile a dope album out of.

Eye Examination (two of my favorite verses of all time)
Burnt
Nowadays
Wrongplace remix (the version where he raps like Casual)
Pistol Whippers
Captain America
The Doctor Is In
Neighborhood
Undisputed Champs
The Ill Shit
Crazy Del Song/Beyond The Cloak of Darkness
What Do You Say?
Untitled Del Song


Let my love slide in and never slip out

he was too good on that. It was DWade in 2006 Finals-like.

I just realized Del released BSOTB and Deltron 3030 a month away from each other. That's wild!

Deltron 3030 > BSOTB > No Need Alarm > FD > IWMBGWH and 11th Hour

I haven't even heard the new Deltron album.

I've tried on multiple occasions to listen to No Need For Alarm, but those beats were fucking dreadful

This was when Hieroglyphics was at their apex. I'm shocked you feel this way. I'm afraid to ask for an example of a dreadful beat on this album.

Just kidding. Maybe it's an age thing? "Catch A Bad One", You're In Shambles", "Wrongplace" & "No More Worries" are all great beats imo.

The music was just so droning and plodding that it gave me a headache

...however, I must admit that the production on the prime-era Hiero albums never really did it for me either. I don't know why because they sampled pretty much the same era of fusion/jazz/soul/whatever that the classic east-coast producers did at the same time and were not necessarily worse at flipping the samples but for some reason, it just don't knock like the best Hip-Hop using similar sound-aesthetics did in the same era.

But of course, the production is still MUCH better than most things Kool Keith been involved with in the past, um, "many" years, LOL!

Very well-rounded.

No Need For Alarm is the favorite.

Del is best when he actually rhymes about topics and concepts. No need for alarm had some good cuts, but the funk was missing. But I get that that was hiero's sound at that point.

I wish is damn near perfect and Deltron was incredible.


Kev

Beats are epic and Del is at his peak

.

Is it because his other albums were just so good? or yall actually have complaints about this album?

the singles, I actually had my girl at the time buy me the album as a gift. I only ended up really liking like 3-4 of the 10-11 songs I hadn't heard already. Didn't care much for the production, plus the songs seemed too long.

and wasnt as thematically focused as the albums preceeding it.

Also felt rushed and uninspired, as this came around the same time as Deltron from what I recall
