Reviews
Shadow should have combined CD2 (Vocal Suite) with some of the better tracks on CD1 such as "Slingblade" and "Firestorm" as one album. The Instrumentals disc, besides a handful of tracks, is kind of a chore to get through. What a shame that any DJ Shadow disc has so much filler garbage on it. The Vocal disc is excellent though. It's strange that "Systematic (feat. Nas)" was re-released as a bonus track here, when it was part of the Mountain Will Fall sessions and previously released on the Mountain Has Fallen EP, and then the digital bonus tracks (including, "Been Use Ta [feat. Pusha T]" as someone else noted), are not included on the CD. Who knows what these guys are thinking when they put these thing together.
Where is the Pusha T track? I haven’t heard or seen it on any of the releases so far..
Well, in terms of style, it's all over the place. The first and second volume of the album are quite different.
The first one is slightly darker, more electro-driven, has some similarities with El-P's work (although, have to say, El Producto does those sci-fi beats better). Hell, it even has its breakcore moments ("Juggernaut")!
The second disc sports that old school hip hop vibe that seems neglected a bit nowdays. The track with De La Soul, although I consider it as one of the highlights, sounds so very 90's.
Not sure which disc better, cause they both have their hits and misses.
