Both versions are awesome. Does anyone know where i can download it or hear it in streaming audion because Mink Car won't be out for another few months. If you do please let me know. Besides that i also heard a few of the Doughty tracks which truthfully i think are terrible. ESPECIALLY MR. Xcitement. All i can say is that no matter what is on Mink Car it should be filled with good songs, but hopefully these tracks will be left out. They ARE NOT tmbg.
