this is nice... I haven't heard his other album,
Deadringer, but this one is nice... has a cool 70's, old
school soul vibe to it in places, and a rock feel to it in
others... tis a good album imo!

most of the album is really good, the first few tracks are
brilliant. it doesnt have a patch on deadringer though. im
going to see him live on wednesday, looking forward to it.
seen him supportin dj shadow a couple of years ago, it was
amazin

Yes it's OK. Not as good as Dead Ringer or The Horror
though.

its fair enough saying it isnt as good as deadringer, but i
think its a totally different concept to the first album.

bought this on Saturday cos I've seen his name quite a lot
on this forum, not sure what to make of it really, I was
after some BOC style chill but some of this stuff is verging
on rock music (and this isn't a bad thing, just not what I
expected).

I'll give it a few more listens (after I've deleted the
vocal ones from my playlist) before I decide to swap it for
something else.

it's really all over the place which makes for an
interesting, albeit incoherent, listening experience.
there's great stuff here, and then some i could really do
without. if you liked deadringer, you should like at least
some of this.


 

offline Dozier from United States on 2004-06-14 15:49 [#01240148]
Points: 2080 Status: Lurker



technically i think he shows real improvement. maybe he was
using this release as a stepping stone to determine where he
really wanted to go, and take his new found skills with him.

Deadringer is a fantastic album, better than Endtroducing
mabey.

Hey it's you!

I wouldn't say better than Endtroducing..... but definitely
better than The Private Depress.

He definetly has a style similiar to Shadow's, but I guess
you can't beat the king... I've got The Horror Ep also,
which has a bonus disc claiming to have a video for The
Horror + live performance w/ Soul Position, but I can't get
it to work on my computer... very disappointing.

much too late for such a request unfortunately.

'one day' is a catchy ass track. catches your ass completely
off-guard. so funky and stuff. like an ass-catchin' track
should be.

yes, that's my favorite from the album...

I love the vocal tracks... I think it's great... the weakest
track for me is track 11, but that's even ok...

Points: 2080 Status: Lurker | Followup to The_Funkmaster: #01240606



yeah, that track isn't very strong. my least favorite is
track 4, i think. i really dig track 9 (iced lightning),
also.

i've just listened to Since We Last Spoke... it's
really quite unclassifiable, original, totally different
from Deadringer —and still great quality. Rjd2 had
already gained my respect with Deadringer, but i'm
impressed how he managed to take such a different direction
musically and pull it off.

june from deadringer makes me shed a tear everytime the
guitar comes in.

i love this album it's one of my all time classics, since we
last spoke is great for the first few tracks which have that
"headnodding feature" in them.

oh and i also highly recommend his "the third hand album"

after some listens, i find Since we last spoke even
better than Deadringer. i ordered The third
hand
also.

I gotta say, I haven't listened to this album in quite a
while. Guess it got old for me pretty fast.

What's up with his new album sounding like "independent
rock" or whatever?
