The mixing on this album is very good for a album released in 1986 some of my favorite tracks are "Fight for Your Right (To Party)", "Slow Ride", and "Posse Effect" they were all good with cool beats and good lyricism and flow. I like the use of very basic drums in some songs like "Hold it, Now Hit it!" they take those basic drum parts and make a complex beat with a lot of mix in there too to add a funky type beat. "Brass Monkey" is also a very fun listen. One of my only issues is that there is a lot of songs most of them being 3-4 min which makes the album feel a little slow to get through but overall a very fun listen. (8/10)
