Huge, huge trolling.

What does that mean?

Stirring up arguments for the lulz

gotcha.

Because it's obviously an album that would be popular round these music appreciating parts, and one of my personal favourites.

Yeah, I mean... really what I was trying to convey from the beginning is that YES it is considered an "important album," and yes it is "critically acclaimed." But bottom line, when I first heard it in 96 it floored me. And to this day it still floors me. It's just a great, great album.

So it really baffles me to hear someone refer to it as 'boring.' That just seems, like you said, trolling.

Glice'll do that hahah.
Geeze, 1996? As a 17 year old that takes me back. I was on holidays in Canada when this album came out.

Hey, look here you pricks - I think it's a shit album. I'm sure some of my favourite albums would be described as 'shit' by a great many people. No need for your prickery, y'bloody whippersnappers.

troll.

seriously now, if you truly don't like this album then whatever.. but the way you talk about it makes you seem like you're just trying to piss people off.

how is disagreeing with music selection trolling?

learn 2 internet, you twats.

[edit: "the way he talks about it"?? can you read inflection on the web? have you EVER read ANY of Glice's posts before? fucking shit this is why I stay downstairs. this sub-forum makes me hate people]

"least exciting", "shit".. blabla. it's still DJ Shadow, not fucking fall out boy.

So it's alright to say that Fall out boy are shit, but not Shadow? I mean, honestly, do you not find DJ Shadow just a little bit soporific? Isn't it a little bit coffee table? I mean, if we put aside the fact that I don't like Entroducing, can you not hear at all that some people might not grasp the dynamics in the songs?

Again, I dnt really care who likes it or who doesn't. I'm just saying there was a degree of surprise when I heard (read, whatever) someone refer to it as "boring." That's all. No big deal.

Cool. I trust you'll be doing Abba gold for your next NR essentials?

...

Yeah, totally not trolling.

If you dnt like my threads, then why spend so much time in them?

i just accidentally the entire DJ Shadow album.

should I be worried?

you did what?

the DJ Shadow album.

THE ENTIRE THING. will I be ok?? what should I do?? I didn't mean too. :(

you did the entire thing? I don't get it.

I don't not like your threads. I'm just wondering if you're going to do Abba Gold.

TROLLED. you fucks.

Nope.

If yr dissing Abba you might get negative repped by Melly. I'm pretty sure I remember him saying he liked Abba a lot. Just a warning.

Hahahahaha :D

glice a troll? you guys are fucking retarded.

yesterday for some reason I thought of this story:

when I was a sophomore in high school and this album came out, I remember that I brought the record into school becuz I was in a music appreciation class and the teacher seemed kind of hip to me or whatever. He was always going on about Frank Zappa, which seemed cool to me instead of flapping on about Jimmy Buffet or some crap. So I brought it in and he was like "woah someone brought in vinyl" and he immediately snatched it up and threw it down on the turntable and I very specifically remember he asked me "which cut?" so I had him put on "What Does Your Soul Look Like Part 3" and after like 2 mins he shut it off and said it was "kind of repetitive." Sigh. But whatever. I don't know I had to laugh cuz I was thinking about how like 15 or 16-year old NR was just so intent on FORCING an entire classroom of kids to expereience this record. Haha.

The first time I heard this record I was I think eleven years old. I was sitting on my blue bunk bed with Return of the Jedi bedsheets in my little blue room reading my brothers Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics, and it was raining lightly outside. Played the album four or five times in a row. That was one of the best afternoons ever.

Sensational record.

Ninja Turtles FTW! Those comics were badass.

Haha yeah they definitely were. This issue goes perfectly with Stem/Long Stem:



It always pleases me to think that these comics and Endtroducing are forever linked together to me.

that's awesome haha. I bet they went well with "Building Steam..." as well. Oh man, I used to have this awesome graphic novel that combined the first 10 (was it?) TMNT comics. So amazing. I need to track those down again.

i remember when this album came out i was kind of dismissive about it: just wasn't my cup of tea hip-hop wise. & i pretty haven't heard the whole album. but i got a VHS copy of 'Scratch' & that gave me a whole different perspective on who he is & what he did...

i think i will seek this album out and listen to it.

Great video that Scratch. I think that doc really helped my appreciation of DJ Shadow because at the time I don't think I really realized the mechanics of that record and just how heavily sampled it really was. Yeah, pretty good one.

I remember first time I heard Shadow, it was on shitty Launchcast Radio on Yahoo... it played Best Foot Forward, my ears instantly peaked. "WHAT IS THIS?" I then entered the realm of Shadow after I heard Organ Donor. I went to HMV and bought the Deluxe Edition for some really expensive price. A landmark record.
