Title: DJ Shadow and who?
Review: It's a shame that this album got slammed as bad as it did, but I liked it for it showed some maturity on DJ Shadow's part. He was willing to work with outside artists and create a project that was really on the lines of the DJ Shadow All-Stars. The 9/12 tempo of "Rabbit In Your Headlights" works great, and "Bloodstain" is arguably the best track on this album, complete with a slight tribute to producer Timbaland. Like ENDTRODUCING, PSYENCE FICTION has a running theme, this time one of loneliness and looking for light at the end of the tunnel. While not perfect, it is a great album that seems to suffer from hip-hop heads to say "this wasn't hip-hop enough" to alternative people who said this was too "crossover". Forget about it, this is a great album. Maybe not a "proper" DJ Shadow album, but definitely an important piece of the Josh Davis puzzle.
Is the review positive or negative?
