- I think it's safe to say that I don't follow this opinion. All the original
- tracks are hype (with the possible exception of "Get Off My Back," Flav's
- excursion into P-Funk which IMHO fell P-Flat), and the remixes deserve their
- props, especially "Louder Than A Bomb," "How To Kill A Radio Consultant" and
- "Who Stole The Soul".
