While I'll agree that most of it is well-constructed and that QBert's scratching is phenomenal, I should also point out that the whole record is marred by a number of dismally juvenile scatological/pornographic vignettes. I'm not offended by this sort of thing, but it's not my idea of entertainment, either. I'm happy with a dub of the good tracks, but I give the album as a whole a miss. Miles
