No Need For Alarm - 20 years later.....

Post by ardamus »

So the anniversary of Del's 2nd album just passed. Thoughts?

Album has aged so well. I can still listen to this and not be bored.

Never cared for it too much. Album gets old after about five songs.

I'll Third that. It's got a few great songs but it's aged pretty badly IMO. I think, for me, it's more the style of rapping he did .

Yeah the debut is damned near perfect. Once he started messing with Hiero his whole style got way too backpackery and boring.

My personal favorite of his but it hasn't aged well at all. Most Hiero stuff hasn't.

Jayou, it sounds like an east coast bias. What you think?

That makes no sense when we're all praising the previous album which is a way more "west coast" sounding funk based album over the jazzy boom bap album that sounds like it coulda been made in queens.

Nah, it's just a case of fagthink.
But I could see how someone might think that, cause all the dudes who said it has aged terribly all think that the Artifacts catalog is timeless.

I actually don't, I think the Artifacts 1st album was terribly overrated. I do however think that if they stayed with the 1991-ish sounding style they had on their demos, it would have been classic. But I'm pretty sure they had massive label difficulty.

I still think this album is very dope. I thought we were all supposed to like Fear Itself most, then this, but that we didn't like 93 Til Infinity any more. Please advise.

When the shoe fits....
And he had the nerve to overrate That's Them. Better than the entire Bay Area. Shit like this is why no one likes you on this board.

Most people are capable of identifying hyperbole, ardamus.

Well this is an appreciation thread. (and they always turn out to be the opposite)
But yes, Fear Itself is the masterpiece, and No Need For Alarm is an excellent runner up.
The gays can continue to fuck up the thread though,

Third Eye Vision is the best Hieroglyphics-affiliated album.
