Repped.
This IS ATDI best output. The whole album is just perfect in a low-fi, young kids on drugs, making a record because they want to and the industry be damned sort of way. I've read that because Omar is left-handed, he just strung a right-handed bass for a lefty and couldn't afford to change the nut so the thing wouldn't intune properly, leading to the dead bass sound. Also, Jim didn't realize that he only got one take for his guitar parts so he just recorded a "scratch track" that ended up being what made it on the album.
I'm an "Initiation" person myself. Ced's scream for "you look so beautiful when your dead" gets me every time.
"Skips on The Record" is runner-up and is a mix tape staple. I find it funny how it sounds so much like "Schizophrenia" in the beginning.
Classic album, all around, hands down, "sink. swim. drown together."
