I agree, though I have yet to listen to the bonus tracks. I remember reading in a promo for the album before it came out that Jay was utilizing middle eastern sounds on this record, and I thought to myself, "oh no not again." But fortunately there is little of it on the original 14 tracks. Although when I heard the intro to Meth, I thought I was going to have to douse myself in gasoline for fear that he ruined a classic gem. About 5 seconds later, I realized it was just a teaser.
