Good single..........2002-12-26

This is a nice tight single. The Amazon.com listing here is for the three-track version, not the five-track version (which adds "You Can't Go Home Again [LP Version]" and "(Letter from Home)") I have - the five tracks a are a bit nicer, making it a nice full juicy single. Three tracks is still great, but as something to sit down and listen to, you kinda need something to follow up "Treach Battle Beat" to finish the album properly.

As a very amateur DJ, I'd feel fully comfortable throwing in "Disavowed", perhaps spiced up a little, as some nice B-side filler in a set. "Treach Battle Beat" is kinda forgettable, and "You Can't Go Home Again" I'd think would be generally limited to usage on mix tapes.

Overall, it's a good listen, and you get a smattering of different songs for different occasions.

A nice little extra filler.......2002-06-12

DJ Shadow is back, and you can whet your appetite for his new full length cd, The Private Press, with this single. The lead track appears on the album, and is pretty much what you'd expect from Shadow. Disavowed is a nice change of pace, and features ex-Rage Against the Machine singer Zack De La Rocha on additional drums and production. The last track, Treach Battle Beats is merely the drum beat from Walkie-Talkie (on Private Press) with a few extra scratches and samples. This is definitly worth the $$$

Shadow's Back.......2002-05-15

This single is a great taster for the upcoming album. I want to hear more. "You Can't Go Home Again" suprised me. Very different from what I expected. It is a 'radio edit' so I imagine the album version will be quite an experience.
The b-sides (?), "Disavowed" and "Treach Battle Beats", are more like what I expected. Do note "additional production and live drums by Zack de la Rocha" on "Disavowed".
I only gave it 4 out of 5 but I've only listened to it twice so far. If it doesn't grow on me, I'm sure the full length CD will be great.
