ClearKentJul 18, 2002A very tight but soul lacking album, electronic and too perfect. Simply too good.

ChoadmasterBalzacJul 30, 2002You can hear him trying to "move on" to the next thing when really what everyone wants to hear is the same old. I'd like to say that I felt differently but my vibe has not changed to match his. Maybe that's what makes him a great artist? Or maybe the reaching just sounds pretentious. This really could be a Moby or Fatboy Slim album.

BillyP.Jul 20, 2002That essential spark that made Endtroducing so great is just missing here. Lets hope it is a transitional record.

LawrencePApr 30, 2005Please don't compare this to "Entroducing". That's just not being fair and you will enjoy this record.

BobS.Jun 3, 2002Not quite as good as Entroducing, very worthy follow up considering the album it is following up though.

MacMDec 10, 2003Rivetting from start to finish. Perhaps not Q-U-I-T-E as multi-dimensional as Endtroducing but indespensable all the same.

PatD.Jun 22, 2002Fantastic, easily the best release of the year and as good as Entroducing.

ghJul 15, 2002not as good as entroducing, but still rocks other new albums, a little to light on the drums, a little to heavy on the synth

NobleL.Aug 23, 2002Just what I expected from Shadow ... the unexpected - 'You can't go home again' will be on my playlist for years to come.

Jul 12, 2018Brings a good electro. DJ Shadow has such a good taste picking textures, samples and beats. Private Press is sometimes fluent too. Not approaches perfect, but still good.

MixerBy using his hip-hop chops to express some next school emotions, Shadow comes up with something that doesn't just sound new, it feels new. [Jun 2002, p.86]
-
UncutThis is much more than the usual retro-action.... DJ Shadow remains elusive to the end. [Jun 2002, p.127]
-
The depth of his production sense and the breadth of his stylistic palette prove just as astonishing the second time out.
