criticism

The e-zine Laut.de rated Alternately Deep with three out of a possible five points. In the opinion of the editor Alexander Engelen, Roots Manuva can, in contrast to many other artists, " easily pack leftover songs onto a disc which then goes through (almost) as an album in its own right " without complaint . Already after the album Run Come Save Me he " simply brought the dub version 'Dub Come Save Me' of the same onto the market a year later ". Alternately Deep is a “ hodgepodge of former download tracks , B-sides and unpublished material ”. This is where “ Manuva-typical electro-dancehall-hip-hop vibes, on which the English styler let his hypnotic-smoky organ run free ” . Regardless of whether " scratchy sonar noises spread on a worn bassline, Atari bullets dismantle a harpsichord or Mister Manuva as the British Alice in Synthieland play jokes ", the productions “ cast a spell over the listener. "

In a review on the Rap.de website, Alternately Deep was characterized as an album that " gets better after listening to it more often ", but does not have the " magical moments of the previous albums ". With the track No Love, the “ man with the very distinctive voice [ begins ] where he left off on his last album ”. In the further course, “ everything becomes a little too unobtrusive ” and “ productions [offer] a little too little variety. " Grown Man knocks the listener" listen to it the first time ".
