Buhloone Mindstate is also a much shorter album than De La Soul had released before.

Previous albums, 3 Feet High & Rising and De La Soul is Dead are both sprawling masterpieces containing dozens of tracks and dotted with skits. There was a sense that the group was overflowing with ideas and were trying as much as they could.

Comparatively, Buhloone is a lean and mean affair, clocking in at a little over 48 minutes and sporting a stronger sense of purpose. There are also fewer skits, and with fewer skits comes less humor. However, you do get Prince Paul and Dove leaving funny messages on Pos’ answering machine and a brief appearance by Japanese emcees Scha Dara Parr.

All that said, just because an album isn’t “happy,” doesn’t mean it isn’t great, and Buhloone Mindstate truthfully ranks in the top three of De La Soul’s albums and is still underappreciated by far too many.

PRE-ORDERS

PRE-ORDERS

Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS

Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
