FWIW, the production is decent, and i'm not really a fan of booty-bass and its derivitives, so this just didn't hit any of my buttons. I realise its somewhat cliche to rip Shadow for everything he's made post-Endtroducing, and I give him props for trying something new... but this just doesn't work imo.
It seems to me that perhaps Shadow is aiming to go pop with this album. And he'll probably get a decent chart placing from it.

I heard that "3 Freaks" tune, and it's the only thing he's ever done that I liked. I'm not into all this 90's sampledelica nonsense.

i thought The Private Press was a good record, that didn't deserve the bad reviews i had heard from some sources...
...until i played it then right afterwards played Endtroducing.... even though i still think The Private Press is good, it doesn't hold a candle to Endtroducing....
then i heard '3 Freaks'. ...ouch. well, at least it's different. : /

I love the Private Press, its on par with Endtroducing in my mind. Just the number of featured artists on The Outsider puts me off.

Too much "Jockey Slut" as a nipper, and you end up dropping phrases like that all the time.

Endtroducing is good because it's far more than the sum of its parts.
Anything else, sadly, including UNKLE, has been bloated prog-hop bollocks.

Yeah, I think Private Press was really too clean, which kind of detracted from the feelings you get from hearing "Endtroducing..."
I love the record though, which I kind of blame on my appreciation for RJD2 - he doesn't change it up as much, doesn't dig as deeply as shadow used to. I'll comment on the new one in a little bit, have to go pick it up.

also,
creative juices ebb and flow, i don't know if this is the _fall_ of DJ Shadow, just perhaps a bad spot.

i don't want to be let down by shadow. endtroducing is still a staple album for me. i've spent a lot of money buying all of his other projects... unkle, brainfreeze, product placement, quannum/soulsides...
did anyone hear his production on cage's 'hells winter' album?
i did buy cut chemist's album last week and have enjoyed it.

That 'You Made It Track' is appalling. It sounds like middle class student indie rock a la Keane. He seems to be simultaneously jumping on this hyphy thing and regressing to the most conservative of rock music.

He was terrible live in leeds. Had two [bling-bling] rappers with him and some fucking emo coldplayish singer playing guitar too. dreadful.
tent was packed at the get-go, half empty after about 15 mins.
i hope nobody buys this record.

OH MY! I was just about to write about that but you beat me to it! That gig was poor! I loved the stuff off the old albums though, it was just I hated EVERYTHING off the new album. Terrible. That emo guy singing made me want to die. That fucking bellend in the audience, blowing that fucking chavvy horn thing every 5 seconds made it so much more unbearable though! :D

I saw him 2 nights ago in Sydney.... yeah i had a sick time and enjoyed MOST of it but i do agree that most of the new stuff i heard, i didnt like one bit... Especially that fuckin english singer! chris something?
haha you could tell the whole crowd hated him because everyone stopped moving and when he finished the applause was for him getting off the stage... oh and a dude to the right of me shouted "THAT WAS FUCKING GAY!!"
Mos Def played before shadow and i think the crowd liked him a lot more than shadow.
Oh and i wanted to shoot one of the baller rappers shadow bought with him because the fuckwit didn't know that saying "let me hear it for my man DJ Shadowwwwww!" about 10 times gets incredibly annoying... there was wayyy too much crowd teasing.
I wont be buying the new record without listening to the whole thing first...
Peace

he lost it on the 2nd album for me, don't like his dj mixes either where he spoils wicked tunes by scratching crap over the top, was genius on 1st album though, took me a good few years to spot some of the samples

haha, ah babes, I can't remeber. It was a different guy though. The one that tapped Alex on the shoulder was absolutely hammered and was just grinning at him. Maybe he picked up on his bi-ness :D
