[DrunkenMantis]

has anybody out there listened to this album???? any comments? I'm just getting into it, there's some funky horns on it. and some great hip hop.

Just seeing if anybody else is into it..........

[Auton]

you'll find that most of this board likes that album, myself included. it gets mentioned frequently.

It's a superb album, but it's probably my least favorite in the De La collection. But that's it's so damn good, in it's own right definitely says something about De La.

"Fuck being hard Posdnous is complicated."

Best De La Soul Albums (not counting the Impossible Mission mixtape)

Buhloone Mind State
3 Feet High and Rising
De La Soul is Dead
AOI: Mosaic Thump
Grind Date
AOI: Bionix
Stakes is High

what my favorites actually are

Buhloone Mind State
Stakes is High (their most inconsistant album. 4/10's of it is the best stuff they ever recorded, 2/10's of it is okeyish, and the rest of it is the absolute worst stuff they ever recorded)
AOI: Mosaic Thump
3 Feet High and Rising
AOI: Bionix
De La Soul is Dead
Grind Date

Stone Age ftw

[Kid Presentable]

Dead is my favourite one. But there's good shit in all of them.

Fucking legends, really.

[Kid Presentable]

I put Grind Date over either of the AOI series. That's just me though.

[Kid Presentable]

I like the way at the end of Bionix they are like "the 3rd installment" or whatever

They then release grind date

I think they attached the label of AOI to Impossible Misson. I think they did that just to fulfil their promise.

Naw it's Episode one of the Impossible Mission series, which in turn is AOI 2.5.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

When I got a chance to chat with Pos, he said AOI3 was coming in late '05 (har), and I asked him what he thought of the latest hip hop releases. His opinion on TT5B was that it was "pretty dope".

[Kid Presentable]

Actually, Mosaic Thump was pretty cool. I played the shit out of it when I had a copy. Those freestyle interludes with the helium-voices I remember liking.
