••• BEASTIE BOYS - Hot Sauce Committee Part Two •••

It's fucking awful. the beats are rude electronic samples with no depth. squiggly electro that only exists for this kind of project. it should embarrass us all. what corny version of "old school" (how do you even type that?) "hip hop" is this? late 90s frat music can fuck off.

ok, finished?

shouldn't there be something about wheelchairs and irrelevancy...feel like we're missing some key bullet points

paulhw, eat a bag of dicks dipped in cocoa butter...k thx

paulhw way off the money, this is surprisingly good and I'm finding I like it a little more with each listen. I mean, yeah, we can talk a little bit about the lyrics being corny and lots OF shouting EVERY other WORD but, c'mon, thats been the case for a long time now.

yea that's kinda like criticizing Prince for squealing, I mean, it's been the Beasties' MO since they went from hardcore to hip hop.

and personally I adore the Beasties goofiness

i was one of the few who liked To the Five Boroughs, but it was clearly still a low point in their catalog. this is soooooo refreshing.

Listening to the full album and my enjoyment is kinda dependent on how long I can go without focusing on the lyrics (did you know these guys are crushing the competition?). Music's fun when it doesn't get too trudgy - def feels like a step up from 5 Boroughs.

This is a pretty good record, you know?

Way more interesting musically and with much better tunes than 5 Burroughs.

Totally in agreement. I ended up listening to it a lot over the course of 2011, and again over the last few days.

same here. The highlight is the 1:56 "Funky Donkey."

yeah, it's not amazing but it's a solid album. glad that to the 5 boroughs was not their swansong.

exactly, but outside of a few tracks not much I'd want to hear again

Lee Majors Come Again is killer

yeah - that + "Too Many Rappers" were my favorites

it disappointed me b/c I heard the awesome record store day single with those DJ Hero mixes with DJ Shadow and the Daft Punk samples and it briefly made me wonder if the new album was going to be a cut-n-scratch DJ thing, like a new Paul's Boutique
