There's a difference between being flawed and boring. Flawed is allowable, boring is not.
I agree that it's a classic, but that doesn't warrent a five in and of itself, regardless of what that ratings scale says.This Message Edited On 02.13.06

I've heard that the intro to The Number Song does indeed sample Orion.
Anyways, probably one of my favorite albums. It's just mad spiffy on a countless multitude of levels.

I think with an album like this, it's allowed to be boring. I mean, I don't even notice it's boringness when I listen to it. The best summary of shadow I've heard is
'Dj Shadow's Music doesn't punch you in the face. Instead, it does something even more miraculous. It penetrates your brain and makes sense of the world around you.'

This album is a classic, but its one of the few classic albums that i wouldnt give a 5. It's boring in some parts, but it still pioneered trip hop
The biggest mistake was not making "Why Hip Hop Sucks in '96" an expanded song rather than the noice 50 second interlude, I absolutely loved the loop, he could've done so much more with it.
And has anyone heard the full version of Organ Donor, it it amazing
EDIT:
F**k, that quote about DJ Shadow not punching you in the face, but penetrating your soul, it's true. It went from a 4 to a 4.5 to a 5. Damn you DJ Shadow, I can't stop listening to you!!!This Message Edited On 04.29.06This Message Edited On 04.29.06

This is a brilliant album. For anyone who is interested in pure beats (not just a snare going off or whatever, but layered, complex, detailed sampling), a producer/starting off with some Samplers/Synths/etc., or anyone interested in something new.. you must buy this album.
A lot of people I've shown this to fail to realize the difficulty of and breakthrough this album is and don't give it enough credit because they don't have appreciation nor respect. Shadow is paving the road to a whole new world of music.
My only regret is that I got the shorter version of Endtroducing. I got interested in DJ Shadow through the full version of Organ Donor and was severely disappointed to find a shorter version on Organ Donor, but I know why that happened (no need to explain this to me).This Message Edited On 06.20.06

[quote=Scruples]I agree that it's a classic, but that doesn't warrent a five in and of itself, regardless of what that ratings scale says.[/quote] This is definitely a classic, but I don't even think it deserves a 4.5 out 5, more like a 4/5. I love listening to this album because it just makes me relax but sometimes the music can get very boring. If Shadow shortened some of these songs up then it would be a much more smooth listen.

Of course this is a 5.

Definately better at night, that's true. But even at noon when it is as hot as balls, it is STILL A 5/5 PEOPLE.

Album Rating: 5.0
Well, first off, no it isn't. And second, why the fuck does that matter? Nobody is even bringing up Massive Attack.
And, wait, you give Matchbox 20 albums 5/5 and not this?

Yes, it is. It's much more coherent and has much less rambling.
Mezzanine is teh win. It's relevant because of their both being Trip Hop.

Album Rating: 4.0
Nah, Mezzanine doesn't win for one big reason. I think that other people have already stated this but while walking around at night and listening to Endtroducing there is simply no better feeling.

Isn't Oblivion that World of Warcraft rip-off?
Oh, and Endtro > Mezz.

Album Rating: 5.0
I don't hate your review, it is pretty good. Randomly commenting about Mezz just makes no sense. I don't care if they are both considered trip-hop.

Today I was mentally constructing a cool way to turn "Building Steam With a Grain of Salt" into a post-rock song. It would be good.

I should probably say right now I made a True BASIC program where I have "Building Steam With a Grain of Salt" and "Organ Donor" playing... haha
I think the opening piano on "Stem/Long Stem" is so familiar because it's in a song from the 60's. The British Nirvana did the original song.
