13 years later, Deltron churns outs their
2nd album, Event II. Another
enjoyable hip-hop album brought to us by
Dan the Automator
and Del the
Funky Homosapien, who prophesize about the post-apocalyptic, dystopian
future which we are propelling our society into at full force. It is another cohesive and interesting concept
album. The album is intended to be satirical look into an elaborately
thought-out future, devastated by the repercussions of current status-quo. As always, it makes for a great vocabulary lesson.
The album is full of funny and sometimes corny lyrics, but occasionally
ventures into the purely silly
category. This is assisted by a few comedian
cameos which are immediately recognizable from their distinct voices: Andy Samberg and David Cross.
To fill out the star-studded roster, the following are
featured on a few tracks,
Zack De La Rocha (lead
singer of Rage Against the Machine)
Damon Albarn (of Blur and Gorillaz)
I've been a fan of Deltron since my sophmore year in
college, when a friend of mine recommended Deltron’s original Album, Deltron 3030. It has been my almost exclusive venture into hip-hop and
Deltron has always done a fair job of making it an enjoyable one.
Give this album a few listens, and you'll probably find
yourself in nostalgia mode, cranking out Deltron's original epic classics.
