Arrested Development – 3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

I Got The CD. But There's A Problem, The CD Only Have 15 Songs (15 Tracks), It Suppose To Be 16 Songs (16 Tracks) On The CD. The CD I Got Now, Only Got 15 Songs. It Suppose To Be 16 Songs. Track Number 16 "People Everyday (Metamorphosis Mix)" Is Not The CD I Brought.

A joy from start to finish. Intelligent, fresh and insightful. Music is wonderful too.

My copy is quiet, flat and sounds superb on my system. As ever, vinyl roots me to the spot and I concentrate on the content from end to end. All frequencies are beautifully balanced here and it's more engaging than the CD...but if you want deeper and louder then obviously the CD will serve up better.
These things are down to personal taste. For me? This vinyl copy is my go-to.

Wow. This pressing is amazing. Punchy, clean & clear, sounds absolutely incredible! You won’t be disappointed!

This is the original commercial USA release of Arrested Development's 1st LP '3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...'.

As of the Native Tongues collective (along side De La Soul, ATCQ, The Jungle Brothers, Monie Love, Queen Latifah & Black Sheep among others) you could say this album came with endorsements, and so it flew off the shelves & blew up fast. Looking back on it, I don't think mine or any Hip Hop lover of a similar age's childhoods would have been the same without it.

Like De La Soul's '3 Feet High & Rising', this is both Hip Hop and pop; constructed around songs, choruses, melodies & positive message. Without De La bravely paving the way for Hip Hop to divert away from straight tough street talk & hard beats, it might not have been possible to pull off & market this as successfully.

Pure Hip- Pop gold.

Solid LP. Production is good with some interesting samples. Lyrics are conscious but not too political. Better than expected.

A bit lifeless pressing. You need to turn it up a lot, but still the soundstage is rather cramped and the low end is limited compared to the original CD.

My copy sounds great! Low noise floor, punchy and clear. Wash it before playing.

While id like this to have been a 2LP due to side length, MOV get away with it because the RI pressings are so quiet so it is still enjoyable. Needs a good needle to traverse those inners though

I have received two different copies of this from UDiscover during one of their sales. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the whole batch has same edge warps. Both LPs do not lie completely flat. My clamp doesn't really help with this issue except offer a little more stabilization. The second copy I got tracks better than first. If you grab one have expectations to likely get a slightly warped double LP which will have none to a little to some impact on playback. The covers were also slightly bowed. Sound is good though overall.

Gotta crank up the volume on this pressing. Could have benefited from a 2lp release maybe.
