Del tha Funkee Homosapien’s formula hasn’t changed much over the years: interesting lyrics sprawled across mediocre beats. On Automatik Statik, the beats are cheesier than usual and Del’s solid (but now repetitive) flow cannot compensate. More intriguing: why is Del cranking out subpar albums when Deltron Event 2 remains unfinished?
Reminds us of: A tired, unmotivated I Wish My Brother George Was Here, No Need for Alarm
I thought you’d like this josh.

Agreed. I saw him open for them as well and was happily surprised by his talent.

openers don’t tend to blow me away and when I saw him open for Atmosphere, that’s exactly what I was.

Definitely agree that he is underrated. He’s quite captivating live.

I still say Del has come the furthest of all the bands from the Judgment Night soundtrack. Sonic Youth was already cool and, face it, Slayer has been a flat-line for decades.
agreed josh..
hes just wasting his creativity..
should ask his family to produce the beats next time!
wtf!
Cheesier than usual? Listen closer. He’s putting all sorts of superfluous noise on those tracks, just for fun. ANd it sounds like he’s having fun.
Sounds like: IWMBGWH, and NNFA?
Those two are totally different.
You sound like you’re one of those Deltron fans who want Del to do Deltron only. Good luck with that.
