I'm going to try to compile an abbreviated ballot for this, but I doubt that I can. As I mentioned on the RIP thread, discovering them via "She's On It," and their breakthrough a year later, was tremendously exciting. I followed them more casually from Paul's Boutique forward, but was still a fan of all the hits through to "Sabotage." But that was it for me, and neither did their earlier music follow me into my 40s. For me, they're forever tied to that one moment when Licensed to Ill was the greatest thing in the world. I still show the "Sabotage" video to my students when I spend a period on music videos for media, and show them the Paul's Boutique foldout cover for art, but I haven't played either of the first two albums in 15-20 years. It just happens.

― booblights and the eternal frustration (how's life), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 10:29 (twelve years ago) link
I was going to ask about the backlash. Never really listened to them in that era, but I remember Check Your Head getting grudgingly decent reviews in the end-of-years, but still basically the hangover of a bewildered reception. Yet I find it far more impenetrable than Paul's Boutique, so I find it hard to understand how PB is the one that confused everybody.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 11:02 (twelve years ago) link
Well, bear in mind that I was 10 at the time and my sole exposure to the album was the Hey Ladies video, which me and my friends didn't really understand all the 70s kitsch and stuff.
But even listening to PB now, it feels like their most uneven album to me. Songs I always skip:
Johnny RyallEgg ManThe Sounds of ScienceWhat Comes AroundShadrach
Then, by the time Check Your Head came out, I was playing punk in my own garage bands and at least starting to hang around with stoners although not yet actually smoking pot. And it's just a mega album for that kind of aesthetic. PB gets super corny at times and while CYH isn't serious through and through, it never really feels corny to me.
― how's life, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 11:19 (twelve years ago) link
It's true CYH is rarely corny but I don't think the songs are as good as PB's.

If you value Paul's Boutique as their best record, sure. I think a lot of their best stuff is ostentatious and exaggerated without lapsing into corniness. But some of PB crosses that line for me. And maybe what does it for me is that their vocals sound very measured and rehearsed in a lot of places, whereas I prefer the stuff that sounds looser and rougher.

paul's boutique is weirdly sequenced. problem isn't that it's corny, but that the second half is way better than the first. "shake your rump" is great, but "johnny ryal" and "egg man" and take things down a notch, and "high plains drifter" is one of the weakest tracks on the album, imo. "the sounds of science" winds up great, but takes a couple minutes to get cooking, and once it does, "3-minute rule" kills the energy again. from "hey ladies" on out it's flawless, but damn, that's like halfway through the album.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, May 8, 2012 4:30 AM (3 hours ago)
i disagree that the high points of paul's boutique eclipse check your head. alfred OTM, but also "pass the mic", "gratitude", "time for livin", "the maestro", "in 3's" - plus a bunch of great psychedelic funk jams. CYH isn't as sample-a-minute head-spinning as the best stuff on paul's boutique, but the fusion of rap, rock, funk and punk is at least as impressive, imo (despite the unfashionability of such things these days). after picking up and then just as quickly abandoning distinctive producer-driven sounds on ill communication and paul's boutique, check you head is where they finally find a style that's entirely their own.

I disagree about the extent to which Rubin and the Dust Bros drove those sounds. I know what you're saying – CYH is their first attempt at self-production – but CYH sounds perfunctory and half-assed in places, a band that can't play dropping rudimentary ideas as they lose interest.

― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 16:07 (twelve years ago) link
Speaking about the album 20 years on, Adam Yauch told Clash Magazine: “The Dust Brothers had a bunch of music together, before we arrived to work with them. As a result, a lot of the tracks come from songs they’d planned to release to clubs as instrumentals – ‘Shake Your Rump’, for example. They’d put together some beats, basslines and guitar lines, all these loops together, and they were quite surprised when we said we wanted to rhyme on it, because they thought it was too dense. They offered to strip it down to just beats, but we wanted all of that stuff on there. I think half of the tracks were written when we got there, and the other half we wrote together.”

maybe that's the CW, i dunno, but i couldn't disagree more. i think CYH sounds like a band with something to prove lighting up and fucking proving it. it's engaged, experimental, endlessly entertaining, risky as hell, and scattershot brilliant. it doesn't matter to me that they "can't play", because they do play, and well. they find ways to make their limitations work, and while their musicianship may be in doubt, the vibe never falters. i probably heard CYH a hundred times between 1992 and 1994, and i never got sick of it.

Kinda obvious, but I always mapped them onto Winston Churchill's career myself. LTI = snotty, punk-nosed brat with some questionable decisions (for 'Girls' read Gallipoli, for the stage show the gold standard). Then the visionary period in the wilderness (PB = crazy guy ranting about Hitler all through the 30s), with the public starting to get back on board with CYH/the ousting of Halifax. IC is the phoney war not-entirely-successful building of momentum (Dunkirk = Grand Royal?), before HN is D-Day onwards. Then with TT5B he gets kicked out of office even though he's still putting out the same work.

Those Rolling Stone analogies are good. The one I'd change (it completely loses the chronology, so it doesn't work in that sense) is Paul's Boutique = Exile on Main Street. I love one and didn't get much out of the other, but a lot of Christgau's Exile review would seem to apply just as well to Paul's Boutique, and there's also the way that neither was immediately and universally acclaimed--it took a few years. (I always thought the problem with Satanic Majestie's Request was that the Rolling Stones were blatantly playing catch-up, not that the world wasn't ready.)

yeah, i don't expect the analogy to hold up perfectly. alfred was right that, while time may have been kind to their satanic majesties request, it hasn't been retrospectively recognized as perhaps the band's finest hour. and you're right that the stones stumbled jumping onto an established psychedelic pop bandwagon, while the beasties/dust bros. more-or-less invented their version of psychedelic rap.

3 feet high and rising came out months before, it was a pretty sampledelic year. i doubt the timing works out (someone who knows their beastie history in detail can confirm or deny) but tone loc had hit the previous winter and spring w/ 'wild thing' and 'funky cold medina' and i could imagine the beasties, having ditched their label and the prominent producer responsible for their sound on their big huge hit album they now had to followup, knowing they were viewed understandably as a fluke novelty act, looking at a hip-hop scene that had moved on from rock box to rakim and public enemy and knowing that because of either their limited skillset or their race they couldn't really attempt to make a go of those styles, hearing 'wild thing' w/ its van halen sample and thinking 'the delicious vinyl guys, that's who we need to work with'. what i can remember is that w/ the native tongues and the bomb squad and 'paid in full (seven minutes of madness remix)' that by 89 licensed to ill felt like eons ago and the beasties definitely appeared to be a joke that was on the wrong side of the divide so when the new album flopped no one was surprised but when you heard it and the thing not only held its own w/ what prince paul and hank shocklee were doing but arguably advanced it? it was hard to believe what you were hearing and i knew alot of ppl who just wouldn't, they couldn't deal w/ this thing having the beastie boys name on it. the density of it was somewhat novel though part of the progression of the times also - fear of a black planet feels more sample dense than nation which feels way more sample dense than yo! bum rush.

Things that are psychedelic about Paul’s Boutique:-“A Year and a Day”-Late-period Beatles samples throughout “Sound of Science,” and the beat-less section between the song’s two main parts.-The “dubby” feel of “3-Minute Rule”-The heavy breathing laid over the Eagles sample in “High Plains Drifter” -Maybe the “chorus” of “Shake Your Rump” (the squelchy bass sound after the title sample is played)-The “Shadrach” video-That underwater photo posted above
That said, I don’t think psychedelia is the dominant thing on “Paul’s Boutique.” As balls said, it came out at the same time as PE and De La were also creating these “chop up the past 30 years of music” sample collages that were far denser than the rap music of 3 years earlier. Psychedelia is in the mix just like funk, soul, and hard-rock records are, but it’s far from the only thing there; it’s not like “Hey Ladies” is reminiscent of listening to Barrett-era Pink Floyd.

This is somewhat obvious, but there's a clear similarity in the careers of the Beasties/Beck/Eminem. They begin as clowns/novelties (not an aesthetic judgement--those early records are my favourites by them), release a second album that critics write about very seriously, and after that, it's up and down.

Things that are psychedelic about Paul’s Boutique:
and the riff at the end of "looking down the barrel of a gun", and overall, randomness embraced as an aesthetic approach
LTI was a good alb for drinking, but I know when my friends and I started listening to paul's boutique, certain substances made it a much richer listening experience, as good as spacemen 3 or monster magnet or w/e we were jamming at the time
so in that sense, if it wasn't psychedelic it was at least psychedelic-friendly
