    The sound is crap, extremely low, I tried to use it in a DJ Set and it was impossible, not even setting the maximum volume could balance with other discs for mixing.

      5 stars for the songs but this particular pressing isn't top notch.

        Rawwww, I'mma give it to ya
        No Trivia
        RAW like cocaine straight from Bolivia

        This is easily one of the greatest hip hop albums of the century. What other crew had a multi-platinum album only to separate and go on to all individually go gold/platinum, come together MULTIPLE TIMES to drop even more multi-platinum group albums? No matter who your GOAT is, Wu-Tang is statistically the one true GOAT.

          I just did an A/B comparison with my OG DMM copy and this 2000 reissue. They sound identical. Both are quiet, have very little low-end and no 'punch'. Both feature the censored version of 'Protect Your Neck'.

          This album needs a MOFI or half-speed reissue. Don't waste your dough on an expensive OG.

            not a good pressing at all, will probably even re-buy this album just to have a good pressing.

              Great record. Definitely not a lovable pressing. Doesn't take away from the album *too* much, considering the raw, rough-around-the-edges style of Wu-Tang. That being said, even beginners to vinyl will probably notice the subpar bass and general noise on many parts of the album. Mine has the last variant of the cat# (ending in RE-5 on side A) and is not censored unlike a few of the other reviews here say.

                How can you tell the difference between this and the 93 original as they have indentical cat numbers and artwork ? I'm trying to buy the original but a lot of people are selling this version.

                  Very average pressing. Bought at London Drugs department store in Vancouver, Canada. Very weak bass response, quiet pressing and no punch. I do not know if anyone else has this problem with this pressing but the track listing differs from what is printed on the label and back cover (it follows the CD tracklist rather than the Vinyl tracklist) and the version of Protect Ya Neck is a censored version (oddly enough censoring the f-bombs but not the "N-words"), even though the other tracks are the standard versions. Cover art is also low-quality. Feels like a bootleg quality album even though it is official.

                      Just got this last week form amazon. I had read all the reviews about the record and I still took the risk.
                      Regarding skips, pop and stuff like that my record is completely clean and plays perfect.
                      The vocals sounds good but the music and beats sounds kind of low. As a no audiophile the record sounds decent with the volume raised. Anyway, a nice experience to enjoy this classic record on vinyl.
                      My only complaint would be the quality of the artwork, looks like a bad scan of the original art, very pixeleated. But the label looks like if it was printed in 1993 it "feels" the same as the orignial and as al the RCA records of the time.
