shadows the master!
, June 5, 2002Reviewer:
jerrrobi - See all jerrrobi's reviews this album was very anticipated and it really delivers. its better than pre-emptive strike and as good as endtroducing. i dont think it is better than endtroducing because its a hip hop classic, but this album shows progression. dope album! -

Paul - See all Paul's reviews Wow, Shadow continues to impress despite years without a follow-up to his masterpiece Endtroducing... The Private Press has more in common with Endtroducing than much of his post-Endtroducing work, but it is much more melodic, darker, and moody. "Monosylabic" represents Shadow at a new experimental plateau with unearthly samples all over the place and some scitzophrenic drums. "Fixed Income" and "Giving Up The Ghost" are haunting, beautiful instrumentals while the use of sampled vocals on "Six Days" and the epic "Blood On The Motorway" is superb. The first single "You Can't Go Home Again" is possibly the album's high point as the drums mesh to form an organic drum & bass/jungle groove while the synth lines at the end bring it to its climax. Fans will not be disappointed as the wait was more than worth it. Definitely one of the best of 2002. ...

Pro Reviews: Private Press (Bonus Download Track)
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Five years on from his breakout Endtroducing..., hip-hop's reigning recluse showed he still had plenty of tricks up his sleeve -- as well as many more rare grooves left for sampling. Shadow had kept a low recording profile during past years, putting out only a few mix sets alongside a pair of collaborations (Psyence Fiction by U.N.K.L.E. and Quannum Spectrum). That lack of product actually helps The Private Press display just how good a producer he is; the depth of his production sense and the breadth of his stylistic palette prove just as astonishing the second time out. His style is definitely still recognizable, right from the start; "Fixed Income" and "Giving Up the Ghost" carefully layer wistful-sounding string arrangements overtop cavernous David Axelrod breaks (the latter a bit reminiscent of "Midnight in a Perfect World" from Endtroducing...). From there, though, DJ Shadow seldom treads the same path twice, switching from strutting disco breaks ("Walkie Talkie") to melancholy '60s pop that sounds like the second coming of Procol Harum ("Six Days"). "Right Thing/GDMFSOB" is pure breakers revenge, boasting accelerating, echoey electro breakbeats and enough confidence to recycle Leonard Nimoy's "pure energy" sample and make it work. Later, Shadow turns to pure aggro for the hilarious road-rage comedy of "Mashin' on the Motorway" (with Lateef the Truth Speaker behind the wheel), then summons the conceptual calm of a David Axelrod classic on the very next track with solo piano and a vocal repeating Bible text. Fans may have grown impatient waiting almost six years for the second DJ Shadow LP, but a classic like The Private Press could last at least that long, and maybe longer.
