Customer Reviews

Welcome back, Shadow.

So glad you changed tack and produced something fresh. Many people will moan that it's not Endtroducing, but that's the point. This essentially is DJ Shadow's equivalent to Radiohead's Kid A, ie. a totally different album to what was expected. Many will love, many will hate. At the moment I love it.

Where's you head at Shadow....

Pandering to Beastie Boys early days [Check your Head/The In Sound From Way Out], Unkle and previous material from Endtroducing/Private Press.... However intriguing it sounds - a mish-mash of nu-rap, studio-live, and non-sampled tunes – there is no forward thinking from Shadow; no structure to the album. I find him struggling to find form and therefore most disappointed in his new venture. It was just over 2 years ago that Shadow was churning out marvels via Quannum Projects [re: Soulsides Greatest Bumps – Entropy: Part C.] Cut Chemist wins the prize of best new album by far for 2006 – although he could be doing with a bit of forward thinking too. Where has the direction gone…? However, The Outsider will appeal to the masses and draw in a hefty new following as the package is ‘listenable to the unconditionable’. For them the beats are there, the rap is there, the name is there [just a pity the sensation isn’t there.] DJ Shadow - come out of the shade and into the heavily dollared [sic] light...

Ok, first things first, this is not Endtroducing and lets face, why should it be?! Stop complaining that it doesn't sounds like stuff he has done previously, why should it. If he produced Endtroducing and The Private Press over and over, people would be giving them 1* for being the same old thing. So now thats out the way lets get on the The Outsider, the new album from DJ Shadow. Yes, its different! Coming from the Bay area he is listening to what is currently going on there and running with it. But thats not to say there aren't some older style Shadow tunes here too. My advice, stream it first and if you don't like a track or two, don't purchase them. I gotta say I'm not a lyrics man, I'll tune in to the music first, hence the reason I like DJ's. I was surprised when even the Hyphy tunes caught my attention as being respectable and listenable. This won't be everyones cup of tea but lets face it, you can't expect to please everyone. Its that kind of thinking that makes poorly produced albums and proves the artist is only in it for the Benjamins. My advice, stream it, stream it and maybe stream it again. Just don't whine that its not something that was already made 10 years ago. Shadow will do his thing, thats what makes him interesting. Keep listening. And if all this has gone in one ear and out the other, go on the net and look up the Shadow back catalogue, theres plenty from the past to keep you going and some pretty rare and special items!

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

DJ Shadow's Josh Davis is widely credited as a key figure in developing the experimental instrumental hip-hop style associated with the London-based Mo' Wax label. His early singles for the label, including "In/Flux" and "Lost and Found (S.F.L.)," were all-over-the-map mini-masterpieces combining elements of funk, rock, hip-hop, ambient, jazz, soul, and used-bin finds. Although he'd already done a scattering of original and production work (during 1991-1992 for Hollywood Records) by the time Mo'...
