The De La Plugs created the D.A.I.S.Y. (Da Inna Sound, Y'all) philosophy on their brilliant and weird debut, Three Feet High and Rising (making them the first--and probably only--hip-hop act to appropriate a Johnny Cash song for their album title). Then they tried to kill the Daisy with their follow-up, De La Soul Is Dead and then tried to find their way through the aftermath of that unnecessary act on Buh-Loone Mind State. Finally, a full three albums from their first, De La finds their footing with Stakes Is High. Here, they're no longer so self-conscious and it's easy to remember why you liked them enough in the first place to stick with them through the hard times. With unfaltering lyrical dexterity, they get to ask the question, "Whatever happened to the Emcees?" ("Super-Emcees"), skewer the industry ("The Bizness," with some help from that super MC, Common), and even shout out to their birthplace, Long Island, twice (on "Long Island Degrees" and the break-down-funky "Wonce Again Long Island"). --Todd Levin

They Certainly Set The Stakes High On This One.......2007-04-03

It is a strange fluke to be reviewing back to back De La Soul records and awarding them the allustrious 5 stars. Perhaps no other group has exemplified the longevity, quality, respect, intelligence, and playfullness like only De La can do. With their fourth album, they made some major changes (only because the times were changing so quickly). Prince Paul was absent for the first time in their career, the beats sound more lively and raw, they play the samples then then play them on light keyboards with hard drums...and their lyricism is absolutely MINDBLOWING AS EVER! My review of the Group Homes "Living Proof" stands by my opinion that it is the essential album for any hip hop producer. However, if you asked me what is essential for any aspiring lyricist; then "Stakes Is High" is it. Posdunous and Trugoy juggle their syntax, craft witty metaphors that stays on beat (while outshining them), and their language is so rich in imagery that the lyrics reveals something new with each listen. If you thought that their rhyme patterns were complex on earlier records, then you haven't heard nothing yet.

The albums "Intro", preceded by a skit, is not your typical skip material. After paying homage to the pioneering Boogie Down Productions, the lyrical onslaught begins. Posdunous rhymes, "A fresh linen scent so sniffer on the two-inch/ A talker of the berg without we-- influence/ So stick to you Naughty by Natures and your Kane/ 'Cause graffiti that I based upon the wax is insane". Apparently, the line was a show of respect to the aforementioned artists but the complexity was taken out of context and sparked a short beef between Treach and Posdunous. "Supa Emcess" follows and is unquestionably a superb single. The play on words are timeless especially when Posdunous spits, "Within this program of rap, I'll eradicate the glitches/ Yo I'm dark like Wesley, but I be sparkin more bitc---/and to them my constellation put your lives in jep/ While you others represent, I present my rep". The album just doesn't let up because the next song is "The Bizness". Another excellent single and once again the song is so lyrical that you can't help but say DAMN! Common is freakin' flows for the fun of it and as bold a statement this is, it is my personal favorite verse from him (including anything on "Resurrection"). "Wonce Again Long Island" and "Dinninit" follow and continues to blow me away. If the former doesn't make you look at degradation of women in hip hop in a different way then your a lost cause. Posdnous rhymes, "R&B nig--- lie to mother, sister, and daughter/ to have sex disguised as lovin in the rain/ Their words are more hollow than October 31st/ what's worse, hate to see the/ females switch to sexual mentality/ it doesn't match with they given anatomy/ Man they rather be ho'z like that male emcee/Who walk around like they got nutz/ And use they titz and azz like a crutch/ Man the underground's about not bein exposed/ So you better take your naked azz and put on some clothes/".

Truthfully, it is hard to quote certain lines here and there because it just doesn't do this record justice. Any verse could have been featured smack dab on the Source Magazines Quotable page. On top of that, if you think Prince Pauls influence is void on "Stakes Is High", then you are sorely mistaken. Being around Prince Paul, De La Soul has obviously learned from his genius and they have injected their own madness here. Telephone buttons ring to the mellow groove of "4 More", a short skit combating Country Musics ignorance towards rap music appears at the end of "Long Island Degrees" and the soul samples are extremely tight and layered by mixmaster Tim Latham in startling peak form. One of the tightest beats has to be "Big Brother Beat" featuring a young and hungry Mos Def. Since the album is so lyrical, Mos Def decides to flip Rakim lines just to keep pace with Posdunous and Trugoys 'Attack of the adverbial nouns'. I could talk about each song for days because there is so much standout material. However, the title track is one of hip hop musics underappreciated masterpieces. If you ever had a doubt in your mind that award shows are nothing but a popularity contest and are quite meaningless then this will erase those doubts. Trugoy spits, "I'm sick of bitc--- shakin' as---/I'm sick of talkin' about bluntz/ Sick of Versace glasses/ Sick of slang/ Sick of half-azz awards shows/ Sick of name brand clothes/ Sick of R&B bit---- over bullsh-- tracks Cocaine and crack/ Which brings sickness to blacks/ Sick of swoll' head rappers With their sicker-than raps/ Clappers and gats Makin' the whole sick world collapse".

In conclusion, "Stakes Is High" raises the bar of lyricism so cruelly high that NO emcee has stepped to it since. Contrary to many previous reviewers, I believe De La Soul took a huge step forward musically. They experimented with their own basslines (filtered them brilliantly with hi-tech studio equipment), sampled then played the samples on keyboards to inject more life in the sound, and they brought in the late Jay Dee (R.I.P.) to produce some cuts, whose hard drums and smooth sounds would be emulated over and over again. The album that you needed yesterday, "Stakes is High" will forever remain a benchmark in artistic growth, musicianship, and a dangerous display of euphemism, slang, and metaphor. Beats and rhymes like you will never hear again!

Stakes Is High...Even For De La Soul (Rating: 7 out of 10- -3.5 stars).......2007-03-01

I had a hard time connecting with this album, no matter how many times I played it. I find De La Soul to be one of the best groups in the hip hop game. Don't get me wrong, this album is enjoyable from time to time, but this just didn't hit like other De La Soul albums that I've heard. People say that this trio reached their peak with this album, and I disagree. The problems that I had with their fourth album "Stakes Is High" was the obvious absence of Prince Paul and their jump from psychedellic hip hop (3 Feet High and Rising and De La Soul Is Dead) to hardcore hip hop, which is shown on this album. No more songs like "A Rollerskating Jam..." which made them seem fun to listen to, to songs like "Supa Emcees" where that (and a lot of other songs i.e. "Itzsoweezee (Hot)") sounds forced. For some odd reason I find that De La Soul was trying too hard this album, mostly with their "Anti-Commercial Rap" songs.

Now production. I believed everybody was dissapointed that Prince Paul was not behind the boards on this album, but mostly De La Soul along with Spearhead X, Ogee, Skeff Amslem, and Jay-Dee who co-produced the excellent song "Stakes Is High". Most of the other produces to include De La Soul do a good job pulling thier weight throughout this album.

Now don't get me wrong. This is a very good album, but not perfect like a lot of reviewers are saying (seeing the average is 5 stars...bring on the negative votes...). In my opinion, I just find it unbalanced. But hey, don't take my word for it, listen to the album yourself, because you might like it better than I do. "Stakes Is High" to me is like A Tribe Called Quest's "Beats, Rhymes, and Life".

I'm so glad I own this........2006-10-04

Are you tired of all the garbage that plagues rap music now-a-days? Then cop this and remember how great REAL HIP HOP MUSIC was (and if you search hard enough still is) today. De La is one of the best groups and this is easily one of their finest releases and a personal all-time favorite of mine. Hip Hop fans I highly recommend this! A++

CLEARLY the best of De La Soul.......2006-07-20

If you're looking to chill out and listen to some real hip hop, you're probably going to need this album. "Stakes is High" is the most completely mesmerizing album that De La ever made. All of their previous releases have either been to conscious or too abstract for my liking. With stakes, they finally mesh all of the things that made them great in short spurts, and put it all on this one supreme album. Track 11 is the gem of the album in my opinion because of the cool bassline and the incredible melodies throughout the jam. chorus:

If money makes a man strange (we got to rearrange that)
So what makes the world go 'round?
If love is against the law, (listen, I don't know)
Gotta change the way its goin' down.

This album takes the listener back to simpler times. This is the type of album that if you started listeing to it today, 10 years from now you could listen to it and think about today with a smile on your face. It just feels so goood. If you like the roots, tribe called quest, mos def, or any real hip hop you are guaranteeed to love this album. This is the best of De La Soul, and the best of hip hop.

Refreshing Return to Form.......2007-03-30

Reviewer: Wild Colonial Boy (England) - See all my reviews
After the truly awful "Misdemeanour" album and the equally below par "Ain't Misbehavin" it appeared that UFO were gone forever. Then when you think it's all over back comes Phil Mogg and his rock `n' roll roots to produce "High Stakes and Dangerous Men". This for me is a refreshing five star return to quality. Having split from the Chrysalis label, out goes the glitter hair and glam rock and back like a bad penny comes Pete Way. With a new line up featuring Laurence Archer (ex Stampede) on guitars and Clive Edwards (ex Wild Horses) this album is a successful if underrated rocker that recaptures their 70's and 80's formula.
Rule number one don't call it UFO unless Phil Mogg and Pete Way are in the line up. These two original members and the driving force and song writing combination that created the trademark identity which is back here in abundance. The opener "Borderline", "Primed for Time", "Running Up the Highway" and "Let the Good Times Roll" are perfect examples and there is not really a bad track on here. There is also that blues feel in "Back Door Man" with most of the tracks punctuated with slick lead guitar work. Edwards is solid on drums and Archer is excellent on guitar if sometimes a little over indulgent. His playing is very much in the Schenker mould and should please fans of the old classic line up.
It's a pity this '92 line up did not stay together for more than this solitary studio offering but the reunion of the classic line up and the "Walk on Water" album a little later more than makes up.

UFO returns to form..........2006-11-25

With this album, Pete Way returned to the lineup and UFO put together a solid, fun release. I honestly don't know what some of these reviewers are listening to or thinking. As far as UFO being a "metal" band - they AREN'T - they are a "classic hard rock" band. I can't even begin to understand the thought that the Misdemeanor album is better than this. I'm a huge fan but, in all honesty, that album is possibly the worst thing the band has ever done. Well, enough of the rant - on to the album.
This is a fairly typical UFO album with songs ranging from full out rock to bluesy mid tempo songs to more pop sounding material. Song highlights include: Borderline, She's The One, Burnin' Fire, Running Up The Highway, Revolution and Love Deadly Love. One thing of note is the use of background vocals. UFO has never used alot of background vocals, but they do here and it definitely adds to the songs.
As for the band, this was probably the best group Mogg/Way worked with outside of the original lineup(Schenker or Chapman). Laurence Archer can simply play. Personally I put him right there with Paul Chapman. His style is bluesy, but with enough crunch. I like him slightly better than Vinnie Moore, I think Archer's style is a little better suited to the songs and Atomik Tommy M is absolutely the worst of the guitarists UFO has had. Check out Lights Out - Live In Tokyo to hear Archer handle the classic songs. Drummers are generally an afterthought but Clive Edwards holds things down nicely.
All in all, if you are a UFO fan this deserves a spot in your collection. I, however, would suggest getting "One Of Those Nights - The Anthology" since it contains this album plus the "Live In Texas" recordings and eights songs from the "Live In Tokyo" album.

It's alright.......2004-05-03

After a decade of bad reviews, a declining of the fan base, and almost ten years away from the lime light, Phil Mogg recruited long time and once original member Pete Way (bass), Laurence Archer (guitar), and Clive Edwards (drums) to record another album. "HIGH STAKES & DANGEROUS MEN" was released in 1992 but it didn't have the impact Mogg wished for. Several years later, Mr. Mogg says that this album is his favourite one together with "LIGHTS OUT" and "THE WILD, THE WILLING AND THE INNOCENT". I don't think UFO fans in general agree with Mogg that "HIGH STAKES..." is one of the finer but it is not a bad album.

With songs like the melodic "Don't want to lose you", the bluesy "Borderline" (the album's highlight) and the classic sounding "Primed for time" among others, this album is rather enjoyable even if it's far from UFO's best work.

3rd to worst UFO album.......2000-09-20

Okay this is not the best UFO album, but it still has it's moments:) UFO fans are to hard on their band:( I relistened to it after reading the reviews here. I almost gave it 5 stars because it has been dealt to hard of hand here!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you have not bought The Wild The Willing And The Innocent, or Lights Out do so now! You also may want to purchase Misdemeanor, or Mechanix prior to purchasing this one. However, this album is superior to both Misdemeanor, and Mechanix in that it is less 80ish sounding.

I was actually less disappointed with this UFO release than Misdemeanor (to 80ish) which I really hated at first (to 80ish). Misdemenor has really grown on me. I think this release also grows on a person after a time. Most UFO fans probably consider this hearasy; but, I actually like this album more than Phenomenon, or Obsession. However, this album lacks standout tracks such as Doctor Doctor off Phenomenon, or Looking Out for Number 1 on Obsession.

Why did I have to rate this 1-star?.......2000-06-17

......Because there is no half-star on this rating system. I've known this band for more than 20 years--since young Michael Schenker from Scorpions joined. There've been a lot of ups and downs with this band and members. But this is the worst ever. Phil's voice is intolerable and the band simply do not play their instruments. This is a total disaster for UFO fans. It's UFObia!

Pete Way returns !.......2004-07-27

This is the album which most die-hards know was the return on of the Gibson Thunderbird thumping Welshman-Pete Way,which completed the essential UFO element of Mogg/Way the core of UFO,yes I think UFO sounds best w/Schenker ,but Chapman also served them well(this particular album w/ Lawrence Archer).I remember the joy of driving to Boston, this disc being one of my primary goals,getting it & calling a friend of mine,an equally big UFO fan upon returning in the middle of the night waking her up over certain tracks(she wasn't angry) -memorable !

A solid rock album in the UFO Tradition.......2003-05-02

No, it's not Schenker, but it's very close. Archer's style is slick, tight, and worthy to be a part of the great UFO legacy. He doesn't overplay like Atomic Tommy, and I actually like this album more than most of the Chapman era stuff. Phil and Pete are up to their usual best, and the chemistry seems sound. My favorite tracks are "Borderline", "Running Up The Highway", and "Don't Want To Lose You". There's a good mix of Hard Rock and Blues that will keep your volume knob cranked high. Don't be turned off because it's not Schenker, because it ain't bad. Not bad at all

Collection worthy.......2003-03-22

As the title explains this recording is worthy of a space in your UFO collection in order to complete it and an occassional or frequent listen, but otherwise concentrate on other more necessary recordings. LIGHTS OUT IN TOKYO contains the best five tracks and they all both sound better and have more vibrant energy. The two killer tracks that did not make LIGHTS OUT and make this worth buying are PRIMED FOR TIME and LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL. The guitar player for this period is Lawrence Archer is very good and blew me away on the live record. PHIL should have kept him around or at least went back to him after and in between his one night recording stands with Schenker. It would at least have kept the feeling of a band there. This means for MOGG-WAY and SIGN OF FOUR also. If tis review applies to you, then purchase HIGH STAKES AND DANGEROUS MEN.

High Stakes play original, full-tilt, powerful & passionate hard rock with traces of old school metal & punk.

Earlier this year the four original members quit their jobs, left their families & their hometown of Adelaide. They headed for Sydney, looking for adventure, excitement & a bass player ! 'Boots & Cuts' combines the bands love of classic Oz rock with musical influences of their youth, a hybrid that gives High Stakes a very distinctive voice. Independent. 2004.
