I bought this today, and so far am very happy with it... I still think Endtroducing is better, but this album is quite good so far... in fact, You Can't Go Home Again is the best song from either of those albums imo... but with Endtroducing I just love the laid back beats, and even the fact that the sound is fuzzier is something I like... The Private Press is very good though... I really love the 80's feel in a lot of the songs... |

this guy DJ Shadow is fantastic by the way... :) |

i think the private press is a huge disapointment. Sure its decent, but I was hoping for so much more, I dont think its very original. |
||||||||
|

|
I dunno, it sounds good to me... :) |

||||||||
|

|
|
yeah, all these people who dont like it are just trippin foo! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
what's your favorite track man? I can't get over You Can't Go Home Again... it's gorgeous, funky, and even a bit nostalgic for me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cant decide... um... i really like almost all of them. blood on the motor way is great... and track 2, and 6 days... yeah I saw him live, and he signed my cd, and i gave him a cd of mine to listen to (check out the Private Press thread from about a month ago for more details :) |

entroducing was too drawn out for the likes of me. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
how is his live show zeus? ill probably be going to see him in a few weeks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

It took me a FEW listenes to REALLY get into this album, its well made and soo addicting once you pass that mountain that is: "Hoped it would compare to ENTRODUCING"....but I realized NOTHING will compare to that, once I accepted that, I ENJOY it alot....=) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
six days is awesome |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true...once you stop thinking of it as Entroducing part II you can really get into it & appreciate it better... I don't buy a lot of this sort of stuff nowadays but I made an exception for Shadow as I know he does really care about his music & wouldn't release anything shite or dissapointing... Soundwise, it's a lot dirtier than before; he's been saying in interviews, it's more sampled from old privately-released records & less from obscure funk tracks (which he reckons have got way too expensive now everyone's hunting em down...)... Very nice once you've got into it... |
||||||||
|

|
I just got it, and except for a few lackluster tracks I like it a lot. Track 5...Six Days...Blood on the motorway are all very appealing. My first DJ shadow album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like it much more then Endtroducing, and Mashin' On The Motorway just crax me up. And Blood on the Motorway is always a good one, and it always fits perfectly with whatever is going on around me, I don't know why. I got it in Toronto, along with the You Can't Go Home Again single, with an isntrumental Walkie Talkie, and another b-side. GREEAT GREAT GREAT |

I hope you guys realize that The Private Press is really a story about this dude. If you listen to the CD all the way through you can picture the movie in your head. Try it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dunno about that one of the very few things that bothers me about this album is that it comes to a complete stop too many times. mongrel... / ...meets his maker blood on the motorway gdmfsob / right thing (i think) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
its an amazing album (not the best hiphop of the year tho), i really enjoy it. there is no way it was gunna better Endtroducing, because thats an all time great. The Private press is extremely good imo and i am completely satisfied with it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
private press is boring. its just missing some key element that endtroducing (and to a lesser extent preemptive strike) had. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
hey! welcome back xlr no time long see (err, that's not right....) i love it, stop moaning you scoundrels probably got it for free anywayz "giving up the ghost" - oh man. sends shivvers down my spine. i don't usually use americanisms but awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah i bought it. i'm not saying it isn't good, its just boring by his standards. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bought it too! don't jump to conclusions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||

I like RJD2s - Dead Ringer much more!! Its a better album (it sounds a lot like DJ Shadow). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thoguht it was shit at first, but its grew on me like some sort of weird mould! |
||||||||
|
|

Blood on the Motorway is just too damn good. |
||||||||

I'm going to be a miserable bastard and say that I was devastated after hearing this for the first time. I waited 5 years for it and it didn't live up to my expectations. I wasn't hoping for an Endtro pt.II but it really is lame by his standards. While Endtro sounded way. way ahead this just sounds dated. If it was by anyone else I'd think it was pretty good but I've grown to expect more. I know you should judge a record by its own merits but I can't get rid of the baggage. |

shadow is good, still haven't got PP yet but will pick it up eventually, seeing him live was definitely one of my highlights :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what'd you expect, techno? you bought the UNKLE album didn't you? and the cd's w/ cut chemist? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Of course not. But I expected a step forward, not a step back. Where Endtro was groundbreaking, the Private Press just sounds average. It sounds really one dimensional. And why bother with annoying dialogue between tracks? The use of dialogue on Endtro was well placed and enhanced the track. |

i hate HIM i have never herd his music cause i dont want to listen to some guy that thinks he is the god of electronic music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Both albums suck ass. Shadow is vastly overestimated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Overestimated? Check Merzbow chump. |

dj shadow is god. meho sux dix. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Think my fave track is that one called Monosyllibik (sp?) ....where he takes a simple 2 bar loop and makes an entire track outta it...There some beautiful break work in there...borders on whacked-out IDM at times... Haven't listened to the rest enough yet to pick any other faves other than that one... |
||||||||

I'll have your ass this afternoon, dude. And you can also forget about that early warp stuff you asked me for, heh, heh. |
