Yeah, I really disagree with that assessment. I think "Sex Drive," "My Evil is Strong," "Bad Things" and "Piano" just feel weak by comparison, because the first six tracks - "Vent" through "Ghetto Youth" are such an amazing run, but the whole album is ridiculously strong and cohesive. It sustains a very ugly, enervated mood and provides no relief or catharsis. I love it. It and Mezzanine are the two absolute keepers from this whole body of work IMO.

The first side is his most concentrated work; I can listen to "Tricky Kid" on loop for hours.

The PMT tour in 1997 was fucking wild. He played in almost total darkness. I saw the NYC date - Jeru the Damaja opened.
