I have Cann Ox and EL-P. Is the RJD2 album any good?

yeah, its overrated though. its only a little different
than dj shadow because of the 3 tracks with rapping and a
few other tracks that are a little different. 1 song on it
sounds EXACTLY like dj shadow from endtroducing. if you
didnt know it was rjd2 youd think it was shadow. still a
good album though.

Maybe it will make up for the lame 'Private Press'.

I just think it sounds crap. I wasn't against a change in
direction but he just sounds he's moved back. Compared to a
lot of stuff it just sounds dated. There are a few tracks I
like but as an album I was totally disappointed. The skits
are also really annoying. While Endtroducing sounded years
ahead, and still does, this just sounds tired.

tracks 1 and 14 are ok first listen but then they just get
in the way. track2 or 3 cant remember which on rjd2 is the
same sorta speaking thing, its annoying too.

The vocal samples/dialogue on Endtroducing were spare, well
placed and added to the mood of the tracks. I must have
heard them a million times but they always sound good.
Hopefully he'll return to form in the future as he's a
talented guy.

BTW that vocal sample on one of the last tracks is awful. It
sounds like its lifted from a dodgy AOR song.

at least the songs sound different on private press. on dead
ringer nearly every song sounds exactly the same.

mr. lif is good.

el-p is my favorite on this label, then aesop rock.

thread.
