SAW2 is the best rdj, imho. it's the only one that doesn't make you say
"wow, this is wack" when you first hear it, and then when you put it on
three days later you say "eenh. it's alright." SAW2 makes you say
"okay..." when you first hear it, and then, every time you listen to it
after that, you say "wow..." try it really loud.
i also heard a description of it once as "what the monolith in _2001_
really said." pretty accurate there, too.
