    Volume drops noticeably on 'One Minute Less' and 'Ain't It Good To You'. It's also a fairly quiet pressing. Not as bad as FYHU (same label) but you do have to turn the volume up and then more again on other tracks, which then means the vocals are too high! This, of course, is an all to common issue with late 80's early 90's hip hop, which were often mastered very tight/quietly due to track lengths. Such a shame.
