Hot soup for your soul
Micah Wolfe | Seattle, WA | 04/02/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Aceyalone does it again! True fans of Aceyalone have always appreciated the risks he's taken and his innovative vision. This album continues on the list of great Aceyalone albums. Here he takes us back to the times of swing, soul, and big band and puts his funky signature on it. Songs that will make you want to get up and swing your partner round and round. Time for a party with positive vibes. We need to get up and dance! From Book of Human Language, Love & Hate, and Magnificent City, this album ranks with Aceyalone's best efforts and will make you feel good in these difficult times!"
Call it a 4.5. Nostalgia for .... the 90s?
mountain viewer | California | 04/04/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Celebrated L.A. underground rapper Aceyalone takes the faux-retro game (think Raphael Saadiq, Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, and "808s") to the next level by faking even the band. Hardcore Project Blowed fans might hate it, but to my ears there hasn't been hip hop this dense that swung this good since the glory days of Terminator X. What that means to me is that the real nostalgia here is not for the mushy 70s R&B that is suddenly popping up all over the place like mushrooms, or for the 50s doo-wop the promos talk about, but for East Coast rap c.1990 (think Native Tongues). Only the song about the girl in the broken down car is so California it could have been by the Beach Boys. Album of the year, so far. Of course it's only March...."
Would have given this more than five stars if I could...

"Aceyalone rarely fails to impress and maintains quality with experimentation on this album. "...The Lonely Ones" is a refreshing break from what I've come to expect lately regarding what is sold as Hip Hop. If I had to complain about something on this album, it's that it's just too short. The doo wop and Motown vibe works perfectly with Acey's countless lyrical styles and didn't feel inclined to push the skip button once. Further proof that an emcee doesn't have to utilize foul language and can be positive without sounding corny. Safe for the kids and grandparents to listen to, too, and when was the last time you listened to something Hip Hop like that?



Given this work, I'm curious to see Aceyalone do something with a musical genre like punk rock or country."
