Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars THE RETURN OF A CLASSIC GROUP.......2005-11-03

This album was my introduction to Delinquent Habits, I bought it after hearing the single Return of the Tres on Mtv Base (yes even Mtv sometimes gets it right) and I could not believe how great it was, this album is a classic, tracks like Return of the Tres, The Kind and Feel Good all provide their own vibe that you just can't help but love it.
The beats are fantastic bringing that Ranchero/latin sound with great applomb while using funky westcoast and new york scratch cuts to great effect.
The rhyming is first rate combining english and spanish with their own unique styles.

This album comes highly recommended and it deserves to be in every hip hop owners collection, I introduced this group to my friends and they are all big fans not to mention I got my friend to play Return of the Tres when he was djaying at his university and it became a crowd favourate with constant requests. Get this album you owe it to yourself.

5 out of 5 stars BEST RAP BAND EVER.......................................2003-09-19

IF YOU NEVER EVER TOOK A CHANCE ON ANYTHING NEW, DON'T MISS YOUR OPPORTUNITY HERE. DELINQUENT HABITS ARE BANGIN. LATIN RAPPERS ARE UNDERRATED, BUT THERE GUYS TAKE IT TO A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL BY BLENDING SPANISH AND ENGLISH OVER SOME KILLER BEATS. SPANISH RAP OFFERED IN A COMPLETELY DIVERSE WAY. THIS ALBUM WILL SET A MARK IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. YOU GOTTA RESPECT WHAT THESE GUYS ARE ACCOMPLISHING IN THE MUSIC BIZ. THEY OFFER SOMETHING ORIGINAL, SOMETHING UNFORGETTABLE.

5 stars for this one, it's a great album and when was it that you actually heard someone use the weels of steel to make some nice cuts on an album. Buy this!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars This will be one of my favorite rap albums of all time.......2002-07-09

I first became acquainted with Delinquent Habits when I heard their song on the radio back in 1996, "Tres Delinquentes." It grabbed me immediately because I grew up with my dad listening to Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, and here was a rap song using the Tijuana Brass's "The Lonely Bull" as its hook. Wow! I liked it so well I was going to buy the whole album, but when I sampled the rest of the album, it suffered from two major drawbacks: 1) The rest of the tracks had no character, just generic rap, and 2) way too much profanity.
How pleasantly I was surprised when I heard this subsequent album, "Merry Go Round." What a world a difference! This was the album I was expecting the first time around...and it's even better than those expectations! The music is fascinating, the rapping is interesting, and there is very little profanity (something hard to find on a rap album these days!).
This album uses Latin influences much more than the first one, with "Return Of The Tres" and "Que Vuelva" being my favorites, but I like all the Latin influences musically as well as the Spanglish rapping. This is Southwest U.S. Latin sound too, not that Caribbean stuff that makes it big on the pop charts.
But as much as I like the Latin sounds, these guys shine this time around even when they're not using any sound that is distinctly Latin. "The Kind" is a rap over a sample of some killer classical music. "No Sense" is a pensive track over quiet acoustic guitars. And other sounds I just can't categorize very easily; listen to the samples of "Station Thirteen," "Feel Good," and "Midnite Spin" to get a taste of the non-Latin sounds from this album.
This album has a great variety of moods--from the street-dance sound of "Station Thirteen" to the pinata-party dance sound of "Return of the Tres," from the romantic singing of Michelle on "Que Vuelva" to the dark look at life in "No Sense," there is plenty of variety here to keep the album fresh.
I believe this will be one of my favorite rap albums of all time (and currently, the only totally rap album I like better is Urban D's "The Tranzlation"). It only gets 4 stars for one reason because I'm very conservative about giving out 5 star ratings; the weakness comes from the last three or four songs on the album which don't hold up quite as well as the rest. But that's a minor complaint. This is truly an excellent album.

5 out of 5 stars WOW! This is Tight.......2002-03-10

These guys ROCK! They're that best (Latino)Rap Group I've ever Heard. I like all the tracks in this album but some of my favorite ones espialy include House of the rising drum, Return of the tres, Boulevard Star, midnite Spin and the Kind, but all together this cd is Intence. With great Tunes and Spanglish Rymes, this is the CD thats always on my CD player right now.
If you like Latin Hip-Hop or Hip-Hop/Rap all together you must have this CD, trust me you wont be disapointed!
