The songwriting does not stray far from the themes introduced in past installments of the four-part series. Lyrically, the content on No Love Lost is signature Joe Budden. This can be mostly be acredited to the album’s producers who have breathed new life into Joe’s music. Budden stated in an interview that he wanted to implement more live-sounding, R&B-type instrumentals, and this is evident. In comparison to the other three albums, No Love Lost is definitely more sophisticated from a musical standpoint. The album as a whole is a solid project and an effective conclusion to the four-part series.
Tracks such as “Castles”, “All In My Head”, “Skeletons”, “Runaway”, “My Time” and “No Love Lost” (the Outro) capture the emotions of the 32 year-old better than production on past endeavors. The instrumentation suits Budden’s vocal style and rapping scheme well. Production comes from notable names such as Boi-1da, Nylz, T-Minus, Cardiak and more. The album does show a leap in musicality, as the production on this project is much better than that of any previous effort from the Slaughterhouse member. The release of this project follows the Novemrelease of his solo mixtape, A Loose Quarter.įor me, No Love Lost achieves the goals that Joe set out to accomplish. For Joe, this album shows the progress he’s made musically and in his personal life.
