It sounds great to me. The cleanest Quik album.

LMAO, far from it man... Quiks worst album, the songs dont fit together, there isnt a whole feel to the album, sounded like he just threw it together.

And what's that gotta do with sounding clean or not?

I found that I gotta turn some tracks up a notch coz the volume isn't the same. Especially on 'Evryday'.

its like the EQ is fucked.... find myself adjusting with songs like "put it on me" "trouble" and "evryday"

You're not the only one. I noticed the same thing when I bought the album, especially when compared to Rhthmalism and Balance and Options. Both of those albums sound clean as hell but Under the Influence sounds muffled, at least some of the songs anyway. I thought it was done intentionally to give the album a more old school grimy feel but it did strike me as weird and I didn't enjoy the album as much as Quik's other releases for that reason.

Thats the truth. Still a great album though.
