I didn't get the box, but I got the limited blank sleeve promo double lp they put out, which I
think has the same track listing. I thought it was really good. Obviously not as amazing as the original, but the vibe was really interesting. Kind of a murkier, more laid back, jazzier take on the original album. I think the new running order made it flow a bit less well though, and obviously it was glaringly just not as good as would have been if it had new Doom on it, which made a bit of a frustrating listen sometimes. Also, very few of the remixes were actually an
improvement on the original.
That said, it was still a great record, and some of the beats on it were absolutely top drawer. I thought the remixes of Great Day Today (3.14) and Fancy Clown (Running Around With Another) were both especial highlights, but then again those are two of my favourites from the original album, so maybe I was predisposed to dig them.
