I knew that it wouldn't be worth waiting 8 years, but to be honest I was extremely dissapointed with the albume. All the tracks sound the same just boring practically talking along with the music, the beats are wack and the songs make no sense. I think Del needs to hang it up now don't jump all over me this is just my opinion. :eek:

I mean it is what it is. I enjoy parts of it but it really is weak compared to his previous albums. What can ya do?
The beats are not whack either. Musically, they are rather complex. I know complexity does not correlate with good beats, but the beats remind me of NNFA which happens to be my favorite album.

i think its brilliant god knows how many times iv listened to it, the great thing about a del album is you never know what its gonna be like, every album is unique sounding.
the lyrics make it for me, i dont understand the hate on bubble pop or workin it, grown to love the mecca track now. weakest track for me definately 'funkyhomosapien'

its growing on me...and there wasn't anything on there that I thought was absolute garbage...it was all pretty good...I guess its just how long it took and the hype surrounding this release for the last few years has kind of left some people feeling empty...if it had been released a year after it was announced would we have been blown away? I can't say for sure, but I know I didn't hate it.

Yea I still need to listen to it a lot to get a feel for it all.
Good thing Del has much of his next album completed though. A year wait would be wonderful compared to 8.

if i remember rightly ull barely have to wait long for more del let alone hiero as well, we got L.E.D. (prod C7) coming up straight after 11th hour, new opio 'vultures wisdom', new hiero unamed, new souls (prod prince paul), new del and motion man (prod tomc3)...

I think Pep's will see the light of day this year too. He's right up there with Del in taking way too long to release shit. After Ascension I've been chompin at the bit to hear some new Pep. He has new video on Youtube that features a track called Inner Minds Eye. Sounds good, so hopefully like he said in his recent updates that the album is done mixing and mastering which would put the release sooner than later.
Like I said in the other thread, I'm not feeling this new album at all. I've listened to it a few times through and can honestly say I'm probably done with it.

PROPS DEL
I think it all is dope. I'll listen to it a lot over the next few weeks for sure.
Looking forward to his next stuff to come out to though. :D

Just bought the album today at a local record store, but I've been listening to it on myspace/download since it was leaked. Here's what I have to say about the album:
- First songs I heard off the album were "Slamdunk" and "I'll Tell You" off his myspace a while back. I wasn't really feeling them, especially "Slamdunk". I'm feeling them more now though, but they are definately towards the bottom threshold of my favorite tracks.
-Least favorite track is "Footdown" (the only reason for this is because the chorus is way too repetitive and dare I say it, annoying; the track would be a lot better if the chorus was changed or just taken out, it would have made a much better straight faster spitting track with no chorus in my opinion).
-Alright, on the brighter side, the highlight tracks for me, "Back in the Chamber", "Hold Your Hand", "Last Hurrah", and "I Got You", get better with every listen, and I can definately see myself listening to these songs for a long time.
-To sum it up, this album is good, it is enjoyable music to listen to, and it makes me look forward to hearing more Del. It is a very nice addition to his collection of albums. Thanks for the album Del. Keep it going.
Check out this review for the album on this website http://www.accesshiphop.com/store/?itemid=13714, you guys should add your own review so this really intelligent review from this apparantly super intelligent person (cough) will not drive away any other feminists or naive people who are new to Del's work; "disappointed, March 11, 2008
By: thorntonsean152 - See all my reviews
This album is a huge change for Del. The musical production of the album proves stellar, but what is with his continue verbal assault on WOMEN within each track. Unfortunately I am giving him too much credit he does not know how to use the word WOMEN only aggressive sexist language. It is disgusting that he dehumanizes them based on their gender. Del is a huge member of the hip hop movement, I am sorry to see him being plagued with a huge problem many MEN in this entire world seem to fail at; which is giving WOMEN respect.
Respect Hip Hop!"
Haha, what is that person thinking with that review. Thats funny stuff bub.

One thing I have always loved about Del is that songs do not attract you right away. His lyrical wizardry and funky off-centered beats take some time, but eventually the album starts too come toghther. And I feel this album has some of the same quailities. Although I stick to my convictions that with multiple tracks he singles out my ideals with a "verbal assault on women". I do understand being upset at a failing relationship and using music to express your anger. I have enjoyed many of Del's more radical songs in the past example "Del's Nightmare" on Future Development (not that his new album is radical, since aggressive language toward women is tolerated in our society.) It is rather simple; cultures, genders, and belifes we all deserve respect and track "Del's Nightmare" is a huge statement that cultures are not getting this respect when they deserve it.
Del does not make music only for me. In the end I just am listener and little bit of a critic. Del is making music that he wants and will continue doing the same.
"Splendid.And lets end it.
And don't get offended." Del's Nightmare

The songs are about 1 woman (and woman like her), a crazy girl who tried to kill him and herself multiple times. He mentioned in interviews that he currently has a new girl, I doubt he is throwing insults at all women, because his new honey would be included in that. From my experience with him and his music, Del has respect for all people. One time I was at a Del show and the beat changed to Boo Boo Heads, he made the DJ stop and he explained to the women in the crowd that they should not take offense. He added, "just enjoy the song, it ain't serious".

When I first listened to the myspace tracks, I didn't like it at all. It's grown on me a little bit, but overall it may be my least favorite del album. That being said, I do like "footdown" and "workin' it" is growing on me. I'm giving it a chance, but the beats really don't do it for me. Regardless, del is still my favorite artist and I'll continue to support.

Del is one of my favorite rappers of all time, but 11th Hour is wacker than crack. There's only two or three tracks that are worth listening.
If studying music has this effect on you, I hope nobody ever studies music anymore.
Now let's hope Opio's (one of my other favorite rappers) album is dope. Triangulation Station was the best album of 2005 for me.

I feel you on Triangulation Station being the best album of 2005. I still listen to that cd every once in a while, but I played it hundreds of times when it first came out. I think he will come through with this next album. Stop the Press is dope. Can't wait for that.

This album rips. I'll admit, I had to give it a few listens, but it hasn't left my car since. Del said all along not to expect any Sci-fi or computer shit in there, just things he needs to get off his chest. The fact that he got it together, did the production, and it saw the light of day is amazing enough. I read somewhere that this album was shaping up to be the hip-hop version of Guns N Roses' Chinese Democracy//
The 11th Hour liner notes mention the LED EP, and Funkman, and we should have Deltron Event 2 and a new Hieroglyphics LP dropping soon, and 11th hour servers as one hell of a primer for this year. KEEP IT UP, DEL!!!

Damn Del's joint is getting ripped a little both on here and on Amazon. I like it. I like the way it starts alot. The first joint is raw like it's name and it just moves from there. Next is Bubble Pop a little jumpier, dancier joint. After that they all have a little bump in them. The only track that is just ok to me is
Str8t Up and Down and even that has a fun vibe to it. The collabs are real cool I'm feelin that J-Zone track and the one with LadyBug kinda sounds like a old Wu beat. Overall I like the album it is a little more straight forward than I would expect from Del but maybe next time he'll bring a little more craziness. I can't wait for that Opio though that is what I've been waiting for once I heard Stop the Press straight heat. I'm hoping it comes in April like it says on Hiero's myspace page.

I know you're not. I really like Del when he's in that emotional state of mind. He's all over the place with his thoughts,delivery and metaphors. 3030 is more formulaic. The whole album pieces together for the story. I listen to that Del project the least and always have since day one. So I should say that in comparison, it lacks that raw element that you would find in NNFA and I can see how one would campare 11th Hr. to it. Seems like most peeps aren't feeling the beats. Which is weird because if you like"if you must" or a good majority of BSOTB, the beats are pretty simuliar to me.

I love Hiero, and I love Del... but to be honest with you the only material that I have REALLY been diggin' from Del in the last decade have been half the tracks from BSOTB, Deltron, and some of his stuff on Full Circle. I also liked some stuff that appeared on comps such as One Big Trip and that Stimulated track "Del Meets the Dummies". 11th hour has good lyrics, but the only track that is something that I consider to be up to par with other Hiero material is Foot Down. Just my opinion I guess...

yah, I hear ya, we all got our reasons to like or dislike the music we listen too. I hope that the peeps that weren't feeling this one don't judge it too hard. 8 years to wait is a long time but whatever. My life doesn't revolve around music in that sense. I hear alot of gripes about it. That's warrented in a normal sense. I look at it this way, Del is one of a handful of m.c's that I will wait ten years for the next one to drop.(hope it don't take that long but I can wait) He is a here and now guy. You know that next album will be different and it's up to the listener to decide if it's different or not. My only concern is that after seeing those Del interviews he mentions that he will keep on as long as peeps are feelin' it. Hopefully he is graceful with the negative vibe and shrugs it off and keeps going. If Del stops making music then there is one less reason to buy NEW hip hop. Inovation is king in my opinion and not many have that.
peace ya'll.

Everyone should be disappointed by this album. 8 years and we get this garbage. Literally 2 good songs and like 3 decent songs and the rest are garbage. Thanks Del but can I have my $15.00 back??? Should have down loaded it first.

I like it... don't know where it'll stand in comparison to other Del albums since I have a LOT more history (min 8 years, obviously [smirk]) with those discs...
Gotta say, if I didn't know his story with the crazy girlfriend, those continual ho "stories" in the front end of the album would have caught me offguard, which is odd since I've never felt the need to "know" about Del to appreciate his album. Obviously he's got a more personal story here (hence the diminished sci-fi approach) - and it'll take me a while to really digest it.
I like the production, though - I think the beats are cool and make a lot of solid references to old school tracks, beats and hip hop without SOUNDING like old school. Interesting approach, IMHO.

I'm enjoying the album. I think most people have problems with how "electronic" it sounds rather than having that raw sampled sound. That's what I think but maybe I'm wrong :dance:

you cant disagree thats its well made musically, bare in mind he didnt sample at all (1 track exception). the hooks were all created through ableton or real instruments not borrowed from other artists work. (listen to the production on str8 up and down)
im really enjoying it, cant say it hit me as hard as both sides i think this is what people are missing, maybe deltron will achieve that.

I agree. I give him a lot of credit for creating his own sound without sampling others work. I can hear all the little things he includes in his new songs which is pretty complicated if you listen carefully.

I think the bottom line here is "What the fuck tooks 8 years???" I can appreciate that he tried something "outside the box" by composing his own beats but to tell you the truth sampling is the name of the game in hip hop that's where the roots lie. I straight did not like the beats and I thought Del sounded lazy or unenthuised. I can't fathom what took him 8 years, but while Del was sleeping he lost many fans, believe it or not we are not the only Del fans in the world. I have spoken with many friends who have been listening since the beginning who all agree this album is subpar. It maybe that Del set such a high standard that those who loved IWMBGWH and NNFA just couldn't feel it. I'll stop now, sorry:confused:

Huge dissapointment I cant say I wont support Del's future ventures..I am sure I could scroung up $15 in another 8 years
I dont think Def Jux had anything to do with it being lack luster either though I think that label has not put out anything dope in years
