If you edit it down to a single album (an exercise which I have done in the past :neutral_face: ) then it’s actually great. You end up with some of the punky attitude of their debut (You Could Be Mine), but an overall much more melancholic tone (Don’t Cry) and some real progression/ambition with some of the longer songs (Civil War, Estranged, Coma). Personal choice as to whether to include November Rain or not natch.

Summary

I also enjoyed Chinese Democracy…

agree with those. can’t see November Rain making my ‘twelve’, lets say, but i’d certainly include all three of Izzy’s compositions - Dust N’ Bones, 14 Years & Double Talkin’ Jive.

Could you please share a link here???

Amazon, but it’s actually just three tracks. Either way, a rip off at 2.37…

If DJ Shadow had only made one album, that would be terrible. Endtroducing is a classic but the rest of his work is great too. I find it really odd when the rest of his work is dismissed because it is not necessarily in the same style. His last album, The Mountain Will Fall, is well worth listening to and his collaborations with Cut Chemist, Quannum, Dan The Automator and recently with Run The Jewels are all amazing. I think that because of the way he works, a lot of his best stuff doesn’t really fit into traditional album formats.

Yeah, Shadow’s tendency is to sprawl when given the space (new one aside, maybe he’s gotten over it). There were half a dozen quality tunes in albums 3 and 4 - he should have released a couple of EPs as and when.

The counterpoint is Burial, who released two top albums, then stopped doing albums altogether and just does EPs and singles now and then. Basically every Burial track is quality nowadays, and hype is always up for new stuff.
