    Great album, well mastered, but my copy is INCREDIBLY noisy. Most On-U Sound/Pressure Sounds pressings are a bit rough in my experience but this plays like a battered VG even after very carefully removing it from the printed inner and getting rid of the debris. Disappointing.

      Just busted this reissue out for the first time in a while and it sounds incredible. That is all.
