Title: TOO MANY GUESTS!
Product review: I love, and have always loved, De La Soul. However, just looking at the jacket in the shop and seeing how many guests there are on it ALMOST kept me from buying it. I assume that this is the "mosaic" aspect of this album, but it still bothered me. I must agree with one of the reviewers below and say that the "mosaic" has made this an uneven album, too much outside influence pulling the feel of it to and fro. (no pun there) De La, when they get a chance to really work, are still as brilliant as ever, though. So don't worry about that. Even so, too many cooks spoil the broth, ya dig? Worst of all were/are Mike D and Adrock from Beastie Boys, they just embarrassed themselves on this album; highschool lyricism and the same hallmark screaming-at-eachother style that I have grown to hate. Ugh. Please, Plugs, if you happen to read this, keep AOI's 2 and 3 "in house," 'cos it keeps you from shining like you should!
