 |  | The Best Album of the Decade (so far) ... |  |
This is, without a doubt, the best album of the decade so far. Whether you are a fan of rap music or hip hop or not, "Deliverance" is a landmark album that's as urgent, insightful and experimental as the genre will allow within its small confines. From the country strains of standout cuts like "Coming Round", "Jimmy Mathis" and the title cut, Sparxxx's rural Georgia upbringing is utilized to its fullest, sending a message as powerful as we have heard from rap since its early days, when the music actually conveyed some important social issues other than gangbanging, pop hooks and endless posturing. The perfect hybrid of various musical styles encompassing everything from crunk to bluegrass, "Deliverance" is a considerable artistic achievement that will likely remain on most critics' "Best Albums" lists long after bigger sellers like Eminem and 50 Cent are has-been pop history footnotes. Give Timbaland and Bubba high marks for making an album more personal and introspective than one would expect from a sophomore CD to a popular selling debut. They both must have known this would be a hard sell to contemporary pop radio programmers (since they insist on hit singles that can be easily categorized) yet still avoid the temptation to release a cookie-cutter "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" follow-up like most breakout artists today almost always do. Everyone involved with this project should be proud of what they accomplished. "Deliverance" is not only adventurous and groundbreaking, it is also nothing short of brilliant.
July 23, 2007Not too much rap more like country and rock beat with a twist of get up and go.
May 29, 2007This is second to his first cd if you like Bubba youll like this album though, I have been following him since he first debuted and have always bought his cd's I think it was hard to follow up his first album which was a five star performance there is really no guest stars on this cd if thats what your looking for your not really going to find it on here but as I said agian if you like Bubba Cop this album

January 12, 2006 | | 4 1/2 stars, really, really good cd period. | |
First off, Im from a chicago suburb so thats how good this cd is for me to give it this star rating. The rap around here compared to souther rap is like comparing apples and oranges. Im not that much of a fan for southern rap but bubba sparxx on deliverance exceeded all expectations. I havn't heard his first cd expect for ugly which I didnt really like to begin with. My friend picked up this cd and I was skeptical at first but this cd is so smooth and fresh it was probaly the the best cd I heard all year. This cd had everyting, good drinknig songs, good anthem songs, and good personal laid back chill songs. you can defineataly play the whole cd without skipping a song. My fav songs r jimmy mathis, comn round, nowhere, warrant and deliverance. This cd has no bad songs to skip through no joke. about 3 are ok but no bad ones. Bubba gives his all on this cd from his awesome party anthems to his deep, personal childhood songs, I dont know how his nxt cd can top this 1, his career best no doubt, pick up this cd no matter where you live.
