 | This morning while waiting for my coffee to finish brewing, I was going thru a cd holder and came across DJ Shadows 2nd
 release...And I decided to give it a listen again...
 Now I know its NO Entroducing...but I am really
 groovin...Tracks like Fixed Income, Giving Up The Ghost, Six
 Days, Meets His Maker etc....These are prime DJ Shadow...I
 would recommend to anyone who hasnt listened to this album
 in awhile to stroll down memory lane with me...I would hate
 to see this album forgotten among others...=)
 Cheers!!

 I hardly listen to this album but it is fantastic, broader
 than any other instrumental hip-hop I've heard. I can,
 however, relate to the haters of this album. Many people
 were expecting something more strictly hip-hop, as was I,
 and what we got was sort of disappointing in the way it
 didn't have a Building Steam With a Grain of Salt, it didn't
 have a Midnight In a Perfect World or whatever.. it doesn't
 really have anything with that kind of energy to me (except
 maybe 'You Can't Go Home Again'). If he gets his act
 together a little, we could have another flawless classic
 right round the corner.

 | hehe, well endtroducing just seems a bit, I don't know, lacking to me... whereas The Private Press has phat beats
 man, PHAT BEATS!! And killer production... I mean, You Can't
 Go Home Again is like one of the best sample based songs
 I've heard... I don't know, it just sounds better to my
 ears... although Endtroducing is real good!! :)

 | I thought private press was better than endtroducing personally, it's a shame that 'right thing' and
 'Monosylabik' made the cut, these two tracks are purely
 shite IMO and taint an otherwise awesome album...

 You're both WRONG WRONG WRONG.
 
 How is Endtroducing..... 'lacking'? It has the whole package
 baby. Absolute quality end to end. The Private Press IS good
 don't get me wrong, but there are so many uncertain moments
 spread across the album it just puts me off sometimes.

 | i listened to it earlier this week or later last week
 or something
 
 i never used to like it that much. like i thought it had
 some quality tracks, but was generally quite wack.
 but when i checked it out not too long ago i was pleasantly
 surprised. i found myself thouroughly enjoying all the
 tracks.
 it might have been the drugs, but i doubt it. this was good
 stuff.
 i think i'll listen to it again soon.
 
 still comes no where near endtroducing though ;)

 | great album... haven't listened to it in a while, but I have it here with me in school and I plan on listening to it now
 in a few minutes when I go get something to eat... I think
 this album is better then Endtroducing because: 1. It sounds
 a lot cleaner, and the production is better... 2. The beats
 are phatter... and it's all about the phat beats yo!! 3. It
 has more variety... all the tracks are pretty different, and
 cover a lot of styles... plus, there is a real 80's feel to
 it, which I just love!

 maybe if I listened to it a bit more it might grow on me?
