In his fourth studio album, DJ Shadow dives deep into a diverse range of music genres. Along with classic cut - and - paste hip - hop beats, he explores metal, folk, blues, and more. The outcome is a mixtape - style album that delivers on multiple fronts. Despite the wide array of ideas, the album sounds unified and well - presented. Standout tracks include the simple yet beautiful 'Sad and Lonely', the energetic 'Border Crossing', the Bob Dylan - like 'I've Been trying', and 'Scale It Back' featuring Little Dragon's Yukimi Nagano. Another gem is 'Stay The Course' with Talib Kweli and Posdnuos of De La, a funky hip - hop tune with great verses. Music label: Island. Reviewed by nakinboots in 11/2011.
