The Outsider is DJ Shadow's most recent full length album. It was released on September 19, 2006 to mixed reviews.[1] The album departs dramatically from DJ Shadow's signature sound to the hyphy style of San Francisco Bay Area hip-hop. He is quoted as saying:

"There're songs on this album that I think blow away almost anything else I've ever done. I think song for song it's the best album I've ever made. One thing's for sure – it's going to make it very difficult for people to imitate my sound!"
