PG2 is one of my favorite albums, maybe becos it's the last one I got.  The 
only one I have on CD is 4/security, so I really can't compare the quality 
of the first few, except to say that I think the tape version of 3 is good, 
since it seems to be holding out great, while the tape version of 1 is near 
fatal collapse.
 
How could anyone hate 2/rip, though, even if the quality is pretty bad?  
"Indigo" is my favorite PG song, and "Mother of Violence", "Flotsam and 
Jetsam," and "Perspective" are great too...  Sure, "D.I.Y." is a joke, but 
in my opinion (I'll probably get blasted for this, I always do), "Slowburn" 
and "Waiting for the Big One" are just as worthless (off 1/car).
