Haven't seen a thread but didn't look hard. New album is the shit! Who else gets down with the B Boys?

Chloenator · 05-03-2011, 08:26 PM

I like their old stuff. Licensed To Ill is by far their best album. Nothing will ever come close to what that album is. That's just the way it is. IMO, Ill Communication was their last good album. Hello Nasty was just OK and To the 5 Boroughs was crap.

New album sounds like good fresh hip hop. I have the vinyl on preorder.

Solidus911A · 05-03-2011, 08:51 PM

I bought it today it sounds good although not my fav but definitely better than 5 Boroughs. Ill Communication is the best one IMO

You ever heard the album In Sound from Way Out? It's their (instrumental) funk album, it sounds like the Meters' Look-a-Py-Py or something.

First vinyl in years and it's colored.

I'm down. Reminds me a lot of Check Your Head. Which is one of my favorites.

Haven't heard anything off the new album. Hopefully will pick it up this weekend.

I feel they have grown just a tad since then and a bit more creative. No offence to Rick Rubin, as Licensed to Ill is a classic, but he makes the same sound today.

I bought the new album. Unfortunately Its extremely LOUD

That disc opened my eyes to the groove that is Beastie!
I'll be picking up the new one soon.

If it's too loud then you are too old.

He means the Loudness War mastering crap. And he's right. It's mastered terribly loud and bad. BUT.... I LOVE the newest album. I think it's fantastic and a true return to their highest form. Personally I always thought Paul's Boutique and Ill Communication were their best. I get the love for License To Ill and it is a classic, but it's so simplistic that it's almost boring. And it's SO played out, that I just can't listen to most of the (very great) songs much anymore. They're just too sacred to risk getting burnt out on.
