Philadelphonic is the fourth album by G. Love & Special Sauce, released in 1999.[5][2]

Critical reception

Spin wrote that the album's "beach-bound grooves are well-trodden."[4] Entertainment Weekly called it "sleeker and more streamlined than its three predecessors."[2] The Washington Post called Philadelphonic the band's best album, writing that it "achieves a flow so smooth that one can't tell where the Bob Dylan influences stop and the Eric B. & Rakim influences start."[6]
