Swap for Of Mice and Men

I've got 2 copies on hand. Would anyone swap for a single copy of 'Of Mice and Men'?

Great audio quality .. But it's quite grubby and has a few minor scuffs, not a fan of BMG.. Even so, the sound is what counts. So 5/5
Disappointing Album
2 out of 5 stars

Man, this album was a huge disappointment, even way back in 2004. Only a couple of decent tunes: 'Blackmail the Universe' and 'Kick the Chair'. The rest is either cheesy like 'Back in the Day' or just filler tracks like 'I Know Jack', in my opinion.

Clear, Balanced Sound

I concur with the comments above. There's a TON of low end here, but it's not as muddy as the original mix. There's more space between the instruments and a clarity that wasn't in the OG mix. It sounds amazing.. just listened to it twice. Didn't find my copy to be dirty at all.. pretty quiet. It was a long wait for this one, as I got it from overseas... but glad I got it.
