Christ, I've tried so hard to get into this...Highly touted as a great "party" or "feel good" album, this does absolutely nothing for me. If anything I find it annoying. Loved his earlier records but this is where I jumped ship!

Terrific sound quality on this pressing. Extremely quiet vinyl. Very clear, great dynamics, full sound. Mac's piano really comes out.
