Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Continues their strange evolution as hip-hop elder statesmen....De La Soul show hip-hop lifers can grow up on the job...", "...An earthy, beat-oriented album that boasts cameos from friends and peers....the beats thud and pump while the rhyming puts words and phrases together like interlocking segments of though and exhortation...", 4 out of 5 - "...This album will grow on people and is yet another strong album from De La Soul...", "...The quintessential thinking person's hip-hop group....They have updated their sound, but not their b-boy parlance, which remains as sharp and quick-witted as ever...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...As ever, the rhymes...are flavorsome and funky, interspersed with a running skit which has them imbibing helium and impersonating rival rappers....infectious and intelligent...", 3 out of 5 - "...They are at the top of their game....this album is squarely in the rap-for-grownups territory...", 8 out of 10 - "...Pleasures in its 'obtuse slang' and thorny truth-telling. Bass lines snap and snake, R&B-ish choruses are sung with glee....De La further explore a genre they've practically trademarked: the Disillusioned Club Jam...", 7 out of 10 - "...A display of diamond-hard skills....They're still carving out their own path....a mature victory.", 4 records out of 5 - "...Their most obvious nod to rap orthodoxy yet....maintaining their firm sonic hand, proving that old-head rappers don;t have to fall off, as long as they've got a solid grip on who they are.", 4 stars out of 5 - "...17 wildly eclectic (yet cohesive) tracks....Suffice to say that impeccable style and a knowing, ironic smirk pervade.", 4 out of 5 - "...They are just as creative, witty and downright silly as ever....there's something here for everyone....De La Soul are the most discerning judges of all things wack and they're never afraid to say so. It's a welcome return."
