Title: Forget about it.
Review: Wow. Way to abandon your audience, Shadow. The saving graces of this album are "This Time", which works so well in his traditional vein and really jams. "Backstage Girl" is another standout, but tends to sound a bit like a novelty rather than a decent song after a couple times. The overall production is a standout for what's here, but the songs on this effort are far too varied and confused to constitute a solid album. Shadow, you could have really used some editing on this release. Hyphy, while it may seem cutting edge and/or "cool" these days, will not be around long enough for anyone to care in about 2 years. As someone who personally hates hyphy and crunk music, maybe I just don't get it, but that's not really my judgement to make for any listener. Congratulations, Josh Davis, on the first truly bad release of your career.
