+1 for Diamond aping the Skeletor vibe
I don't think the new single is bad at all. Could almost imagine making some noise if surrounded by sea of bodies at Roseland.
On their side in general, but that's probably because Licensed to Ill was one of the first cassettes I ever bought, back in '87 (along with No Jacket Required and The Joshua Tree, shudder). And hell there aren't a lot of bands from that era that are still around and least trying to make music. So Beastie it up.

there are WAY too many bands from that era still around making music. every metal band and every punk band that ever put out a single or an album in the 80's is right now on tour. hey we all have to pass the time somehow. god bless them.

This is funny, but also nsfw if your workplace is weird about dirty words:

Watched the new video the other night. Mostly reinforced how much I fucking hate Danny McBride.

Really super psyched for the new album based on what I've heard.

Gonna try to watch the full thing tonight.

It's pretty fun!

Elijah nails Ad-Rock tho, tis true

I dunno, i liked how it was a long music video, and the cameos were pretty fun...it all seemed in the spirit of the original (shrug)
― VegemiteGrrl, Saturday, 23 April 2011 02:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Elijah seems to kind of get the movement of Ad Rock, the other two have the look but it sort of ends there with them.
And i dunno, the long knot-untying joke was kinda funny to me
but I dont hate any of those dudes and i lay my Beasties stan cards on the table, lol

Whole album streaming here http://livestre.am/J0Nl
(It takes a few minutes to start...but !!! they set up a boombox in the middle of an empty Madison Square Garden and are playing it into the PA!)

not sure how much MSG is contributing but I like the swampy dubby vibe of the tracks I've heard so far

digging it so far...good funky vibes, kind of an old school Paul's Boutique feel to a lot of it

i'm kind of digging this. last thing i purchased was hello nasty which i thought was just ok at the time. it's prob due another listen.
― confederate terror anchor babies (will), Saturday, 23 April 2011 18:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Nasty has held up okay, I think. Was listening to it the other day and forgot how much fun it is. Putting Shame In Your Game is my fave.

Listening to the MSG stream now. I can't tell if I've just been so Beastie-starved that I love this, or if I love it on its own merits (the latter, I think), but this album's gonna be incredible.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 23 April 2011 20:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Agree w/the Check Your Head vibe, which is fine with me
― calstars, Saturday, 23 April 2011 20:29 (thirteen years ago) link
Well...To the 5 Boroughs wasnt exactly up to Hello Nasty's level...so Hot Sauce feels like it at least has the *promise* of that level. Got a lot of strong Beastie vibes :) Feeling good about the preorder at least, lol

Trying not to overdo the MSG streaming...I went through twice & had to enforce a mandatory cut off, lol

I haven't gone to buy a cd on release day in a long time, but doing it for a Beasties album seems right somehow. (Of course, getting there when Target opens doesn't exactly have the same feel as waiting outside of a record store for them to unlock the door.)
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 23 April 2011 21:40 (thirteen years ago) link
so go to a record store, duh

by the by, the clean/edited version just went a-leaky.

The beats on this are crazy good.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 24 April 2011 20:03 (thirteen years ago) link
I should be the core market for this album being naught but a casual hip hop fan since the mid 90s in his late 30s but this just fucking sucks so bad it's unreal. It's hard to believe it's the same band that did Paul's Boutique.
― PG Harpy (Doran), Monday, 25 April 2011 12:19 (thirteen years ago) link
but the beats for pauls boutique were by the dust bros, so it isn't really the same band at all.
but i really like this record tbh.

I see what you're saying but having different producers work on your shit is par for the course in hip hop.
― PG Harpy (Doran), Monday, 25 April 2011 12:45 (thirteen years ago) link
not in the Beastie Boys' career, or much of hip-hop in 1989
― Unusatralian (sic), Monday, 25 April 2011 12:48 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean, most of the backing tracks for P'sB were done before the Beasties came to work on the record - the album was, to a certain extent, the Beasties' laying vocals over the Dust Bros' tracks (do i have this right? i think this was the gist of the 331/3rd book). subsequent beasties LPs are produced by the Beasties and Mario C - their beats, not someone else's. they pretty much don't work with lots of different producers over an album.
― Republicans voiced concern about young pages hearing the word uterus (stevie), Monday, 25 April 2011 12:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Right, I didn't know it was to *that* extent. Looks like I need to read the 33 1/3 book.
― PG Harpy (Doran), Monday, 25 April 2011 13:31 (thirteen years ago) link
there were only a few completed tracks that the Beasties heard and went "can we rap on these?"*, and even those got re-recorded - the album was done in a real collaboration with the Beasties throwing in ideas, contributing some hands-on production and playing and steering the whole thing, but definitely going along with Matt Dike and the Dust Bros aesthetic, having fallen so thoroughly for it.
worth noting that Mario C didn't have a hand in TT5B - and the Just Blaze remix of Ch-Check It Out suggested they would have been best served by buying outside beats for the first time ever instead
*I think maybe what became Car Thief and Shake Your Rump?
― Unusatralian (sic), Monday, 25 April 2011 15:17 (thirteen years ago) link
look, hate on TT5B all you want, but "Ch-Check It Out" was pretty ace
― frogbs, Monday, 25 April 2011 15:21 (thirteen years ago) link
thanks for clarifying, sic - i'd rather think the beasties had more involvement than i suggested earlier.
tt5b was so dreary.
