Besides, you'll get most of the good songs on Endtroducing on those singles
anyway. What Does Your Soul Look Like is what Endtroducing wishes it was. I
think DJ Shadow's going for an epic sound that he doesn't quite have a
handle on yet, but it's worth keeping track of him.
Endtroducing isn't an attempt to be any more commercial than his earlier
stuff, per se, since he hasn't changed his formula at all. But that's the
problem: by now, it's a formula. Huge live-sounding drums, lotsa cymbal
crashes, recognizable samples and long empty parts with some guy reading
poetry. One of these days he'll figure out exactly what it is he's trying
to do, and then he'll expand his horizons.
