Back in the Stone Age, not only because of the so-called hip-hop tracks, but because the whole concept is none. In trying to do something new it is unfortunately fell flat on his face ... if you take MC's already on board, then you do it like DJ Krush, with him it sounds cool, undergroundig and is fun, because it relies on talents (and Japanese MC's) but please do not David Banner or this "3 Freaks" MC ...
To make a long story short, if you like DJ Shadow, one should prefer to wait something better, because it can and must do better than that, and listening while his previous albums (Endtroducing, Private Press, Quantum, UNKLE, Cut .... ..)
Progress is not always with good ........
