That's not true at all. The Mix Up was all original material. The In Sound was a compilation full of stuff you could already find elsewhere.
We covered this earlier in the thread, Chud.

So you agree that you were wrong when you called The Mix Up a sequel to The In Sound?

It's garbage compared to everything they did after it.

Ill Communication will be hard to beat. It's a damn near perfect record. And it contains a song that I'd be willing to call the best song of the 1990s. It's a special record.

License to Ill is a fun record. But, yeah, the growth the band showed, even as early as Paul's Boutique, is unbelievable. It's almost a different group on that second record.

You're obviously referring to Get it Together, no?

It's garbage compared to everything they did after it.

It's not as good as the next 3 or 4 but it has a handful of great travks

It really does. As far as debut albums go, it's still up there for me as one of the best. But holy fuck what happens next is just exceptional. And now so much of LTI feels dated and a bit silly. I still listen to it and enjoy it though.

I'm not saying LTI is garbage, I'm saying compared to everything after it's garbage. That's an important distinction, and what I'm saying isn't as much a knock on LTI but a testament to how brilliant everything that came after it is.

Exactly. I can totally pick up what you're putting down here, friend.

Ill Communication is their best record by far.

I would tend to agree. But with the caveat that if you prefer Paul's Boutique, you're not necessarily wrong.
