it's ok, but it doesn't have the fat-dirty sound of Time for Livin', and there are no melodies, only straight hardcore punk, so...

So Wikipedia says the "single" version of Get It Together doesn't feature Q-Tip, which seems ridiculous because he's the most essential part of that track, but I'm curious about it now. Anyone know what iteration of the single it was released that way? Has anyone heard it?

I have the 12", and that's nonsense

would be more predisposed to Ill Communication if they didn't overdo it w the distorted vocals so much. dunno why they were so enamored of that sound at the time.

Love “pass the mic”, the first two minutes crush

two years pass...

finally copped the Ill Communication record and I just realized I've never actually heard the uncensored version, I bought the Walmart version which backmasked all the swears. it was actually kind of hilarious on "Get It Together" which had a couple lines that were just completely garbled. even the line "hey, I ain't got no dust (??)" was fucked with

anyway I thought this was clearly CYH but this record is awesome too. I loved how far out the instrumentals got. "Futterman's Rule" felt like the most badass thing on the planet when I was 14. and "Shambala" was like something out of The Lion King
