The smile that spread across my face as I listened to this album for the first time was undeniable. As a Beastie fan dating from '92, I'm always nervous when a new release by them falls out of the sky. It seems pre-determined that as modern musical artists age, their work tends to decline. I can't say that the Beastie Boys are completely devoid of this, as it really does appear as though their *best* days are behind them. On the flip side of that, they aren't getting lazy, and they aren't simply relying on their name and past glory to get them through current releases. To The 5 Burroughs was an album that, while good, fell into a bit of a niche. It had a strong political influence (being released in a pivotal election year), that was surrounded by dry, bottom-ed out, depressing beats (a style that was being used by MANY artists at the time.) While the album had plenty of highlights, it also featured a, what I...

These dudes were rapping back when hip-hop was just popping off! The Beastie's are a mixed bag. From party pioneers to doody-rhyme mad scientists, liberal social commentators that to this day can still sell out Madison Square Garden in minutes . The lyrical writing is fun like 'Pauls Boutique' , vocals tracked distorted and grimy like 'Ill Communication' layered over electronica a la 'Hello Nasty' with their heaviest hitting beats since 'Check Your Head.' As a matter of fact, I'd say this is their most hip-hop sounding album since their 92-94 era; A Fantastic Beastie Boys record! 12 of 14 people found the following review helpful  The Boys are Back!, This review is from: Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 (Audio CD) If any fears lingered that the instrumental only album "The Mix-Up" was a sign of The Beastie Boys getting mellow in their old age, then "Hot Sauce Committee Part Two" should put those fears to rest. Kicking off with their most infectious jam since "Intergalactic", this latest collection of songs finds the Boys sounding more alive and kicking than ever, acknowledging their age and longevity while still reveling in the occasional immature moment that makes them so much fun.Live instruments dominate- snare drums, fuzzy bass, electric guitar, mixed with an odd assortment of electronic noises and DJ scratching. After the club rocking opener "Make Some Noise", "Nonstop Disco Powerpack" lays down a simpler James Brown-styled funk beat over which the Boys re-introduce themselves, urging one another to "Step up and grab the mic". The rhymes come fast and furious- some brilliant, some throwaway- but rapid enough to make you know you missed some and need to listen again. "OK" sounds... Read more |
