    Righteous is the precise term for this cut. Good lord - sumptuous and full o' juice - PARTY TIME!

      Totally agree with the SQ comment.
      Right from the opening title track it is righteous!
      This is how albums should be cut and mastered.

        "Credits and lyrics are custom printed on the inner sleeve." The images for this entry show the credits on the back of the jacket. My copy of the inner sleeve has lyrics on both sides, though here there is no image of the inner sleeve's 2nd side.

          The sound quality on this album is great especially on the track "Win"
