good luck getting a tangible copy. i gave it a listen (got it last week), and it's very good for a mash-up. it's still hard for me to get past the jay-z bit, since i'm not a member of his fanclub.

It was an innovative idea but when I got it home and gave it a good listen I was again made aware of how uninspired J-Z's lyrics are. That's why Nas broke off a foot in his ass. A laudable effort nontheless if only for the fact I loved Danger Mouse as a kid.
I feel certain there's more, always is.

I find it was a nice idea and kind of deserves the hype it's getting now. The 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' song is quite good - I still find the 2 Many DJ's stuff a lot more interesting in the long run.
And yeah, hazey, huge fan of both Anticon and Def Jux here. (Just received the latest cLOUDDEAD 12'', with the adorable Boards Of Canada remix of 'Dead Dogs Two')

That is the standout on the Grey Album. Its a create concept, the execution is okay but nothing can save Jay Z.
A nice 2 Many DJs style mashup: Just A Reptilian (Dizzee Rascal Vs The Strokes) by Lionel Vinyl. That might be a little rough for some tastes but I like it. In a more classy vein is Poj Masta's Seriously Slow (Kylie Vs Four Tet).
Poj is also responsible for this beautiful glitchcore mix of Toxic by La Spears.

C'mon, it's such a joy, c'mon you metal boy C'mon let's take it easy C'mon let's make it sleazy Everybody's got a ticket to ride Except for me and my lightning Your insides ooze out, the electrodes are in The electrodes are in so your eyeballs pop out....
...comment is certainly called for. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Let's just hope they don't get their asses kicked by a tag team of Paul McCartney and Lars Ulrich.
