    Ultimately, the collection plays like exactly what it is: a fun side project that re-affirms the core values of vintage hip-hop at a time when the genre too often seems to value everything but vintage fun.

    Attractive Sin is a welcome throwback to an earlier era of underground rap.

    Attractive Sin finds the collaborators stretching out liberally and sounding genuinely excited and inspired by each other.

    Across eleven cuts Parallel Thought utilize their deep knowledge of Del's Elektra years to weave a beautifully updated pastiche of early '90s throwback grooves.

    Attractive Sin, an album that is sure to add to his discography as another solid effort from Sir DZL.

    Del's penchant for calling out lesser emcees, itself a deep tradition in hip-hop, slips into a bragging sameness a bit too often on Attractive Sin.

    Despite Parallel Thought's strong production, Attractive Sin's failings fall on Del. He can do better.

    Attractive Sin ultimately suffers from a lack of humor and humility (namely, pride).
