    As a full-length Shadow album, The Outsider buckles from its forced diversity. [24 Aug 2006, p.94]

    As ever, The Outsider's production is immaculate. But by frontloading the album with forbidding hip hop, [Shadow] knows he's driving away the floating voter. [Sep 2006, p.106]

    The Outsider screams to be downloaded in sections by fans of specific genres.
