new album

[mister jason]

before you hate me, hear me out. i have been a fan since 1985, and probably know more about the beasties and their music than most fans. anyway, this new album better come correct. watching the jimmy fallon show, it looked like they were bored, mca looked like he would rather be anywhere else than there, or performing. how many times can they play so watcha want? they are usually more clever than "hiding mics" in back of their chairs then "surprisingly" busting out so watcha want. i am a big fan and still am, but i have not been satisfied with a studio album since hello nasty. musically, to the 5 boroughs, was sub-par. any long time fan must admit that or anyone that has any clue about production. please make a dope album!

[Jiberish]

My girlfriend, [ whose love of the Beasties starts & stops with MCA's line in Intergalacic "I'll stir fry you in my wok"... it's pretty hilarious actually, she'll pop her head into whatever room I'm in when that line comes on and rap long, then disappear. Like a Muppet or something.]

I digress, the girlfriend said the same thing. They "looked bored" on Jimmy Fallon. She also said MCA looked like a geography teacher. Ha ha. I didn't agree w/ the looking bored thing. I thought it was a great performance. The Roots looked pleased as hell to be backing them too. Oh and what about the It's the New Style intro they got?

TT5B was not their best album. But it's not terrible. Shazam anyone? RRNN, Time to Build? There are some nice tracks on there.

Have you given Lee Majors Come Again a listen yet? If the new album sounds anything like this, I think most of us are going to be happy.

The End.

[brooklyndust]

If you have been a fan since 1985 you would know that MCA has been performing like that since 1994.

[abbott]

What is new, the Beastie Boys seem board doing an interview.

I believe that the artist let the art do the talking. if you don't like it then hey....

[Nygel]

i have quite the clue abotu production, and production was NOT the point of failure on that album. the production was quite unique and well done.



lyrical content though... I got kinda tired of the political stuff... it's dated already.

[pesto pizza]

do you know what I thought tt5b was lame for 3 weeks when it came out.then i got pissed one night and heard it through differant ears like i would have done when i was 16 and i still love it.sometimes we get stuck in a rut and talk about the good old days.luckly the beasties stay fresh thats why the are musical masters and we're not.

[Micodin]

before you hate me, hear me out. i have been a fan since 1985

Really? What song in '85 made you a fan of the group?

[tjpop]

i've heard you out, and now hate you. get the fuck outta here...and find your excitement elsewhere

[MC Boulangerie]

I agree. Their performance on Jimmy Fallon was boring :-/

I understand people knocking the lyrics of TT5B, but I don't understand how the gripe is the political shit. It wasn't that prevelant (sp?) was it? The shit that was kind bad for me was more like, "What the ponytail? I don't eat snail" or "I sneak a chicken tika, masala....at a gala...event."

I guess the corniest of the corny shit works better for me when it's on a distorted mic and I can't really understand what they're saying??? :)

Actually, if you look at the bboys body of work, then TT5B was way below average for them. Or, as some would say, sub-par.

[Jazz Martian]

Agreed.

If you just judge the merits of the album alone, and don't compare it to the rest of their catalog, I think it's a really good album. I would say maybe even great, if it wasn't for the fact that I strongly dislike the last song on the album. The last song on any album needs to be really good. The Beasties have always done that in the past, but I just could never get into 'We Got The'. It's easily my least favorite song on 'To The 5 Boroughs'. I actually paid a grip for the Japanese import, mainly because that version ends the album on a better note, with the track 'Now Get Busy'.

'TT5B' is especially great for a mainstream hip-hop album released in 2004. The biggest problem with that album though, is the mighty shadow of the B-Boys' other albums that it sits in. It just can't hang with their earlier releases. It's hard for me to be objective about the album, being a Beasties fan since 'Licensed To iLL' dropped, and rate it based on its own merits. I dig the album, but for me, it's not anywhere near the bar they've set for themselves.

As far as the Beastie Boys major releases in 1985, like somebody mentioned, they have some. 'She's On It' and the 'Rock Hard' 12" were released in '85. That 12" had 3 songs plus an instrumental on it. So they had material out there, in between 'Cooky Puss' and "LTI". And they were getting promotion in '85, to get people hyped for "LTI", including the 'She's On It' video being played on MTV. I know it may be tough for a lot of people to believe that they had fans in '85, but they did. I have a friend who got into to them in '85, and looked forward to "LTI".

As far as the Fallon interview/performance, I dug it. Especially cause The Roots backed them for 'So What'cha Want'. That was something new and interesting to me. The interview was ok. Kind of underwhelming, as I thought that they were gonna be gettin' into more details about the new album.

I see where dude who started this thread is coming from. The point of it all is understandable. Starting a thread out like that can rub some people the wrong way though.

In general I think a lot of people expect way more from the B-Boys, than is reasonable. They've been at this for like 25 years. They've put out an incredible body of work. They're not gonna be on point in every interview or performance. And if they don't put out another album in the same league as their best, it's understandable. It would be really surprising if they did. The fact that they're still on the scene this far into their careers, are still relevant, still have fans excited about anything they're involved with, and were capable of putting out an album as good as 'To The 5 Boroughs' is very remarkable to me.

[pshabi]

Well put.(y)

[Nerd Fight]

I was disappointed with both TT5B and The Mix Up, but I like Lee Majors Come Again a lot...I know it's not much to go on but it seems like a good sign.

Plus, TT5B and The Mix Up seemed both to have overall 'concepts'...old school stripped down beats for the former and pure instrumental music for the latter, and for me that resulted in quite dull albums. Hot Sauce Committee sounds like it'll be more like the old smorgasboard, anything-goes approach, which has always been a good fit for them, so that's another good sign.

[Kid Presentable]

After my indifference to Hello Nasty and The Mix Up at the times of their release, I realise I enjoy them when I don't expect to enjoy them. Hearing Flowing Prose and Electrify blaring at a house party, or getting blazed and playing smash bros with some friends with The Mix Up on repeat, that works for me. When I don't have to try, they don't have to try. I put on Hello Nasty more than any of their albums now, not because it's perfect, but because I didn't like it enough at first to be bored of it by now. It is an awesome piece of work from Adrock, after all.

But yeah, We Got The is pretty awful. I recall they used to be able to hold social discourse and either mask it behind dopeness (Stand Together) or outright say it but say it well (The Update). We Got The fully pulled down the trousers of armour on the suit of armour chinked by In A World Gone Mad. But it's nothing, I still like that album.

If you don't like the new one when it drops, think of the shit as an investment (although I will be investing in some 'Tadlock's Glasses' stickers to cover up the Hot Sauce nonsense). You'll probably be glad to have it at some point. Why that Hot Sauce reference, though? If anything from a song on Check Your Head, why not 'Blue Nun Appreciation Society' or 'YooHoo Patrol', or even 'Funky Fish Freedom Force'? Aaaah, fuck it.....

[Odie]

I'm more pissed it's not going to have that natty dog in sunglasses for the front cover.

[Sir SkratchaLot]

However bored, or not bored, they might be in interviews their live shows are still untouchable. I saw them about six months ago and it was one the best Beastie shows I've seen.

[Bernard Goetz]

Actually, no. TT5B > HN

[Kid Presentable]

Fact is, the internet fucked it up.

[destructo]

Actually, no. TT5B > HN

Really?

This is just my opinion, but TT5B is rather plain and stripped down compared to HN's obscure and layered sampling. I was a little disappointed in TT5B for a long time because it sounded like they produced the album in about a month. I've only recently started to enjoy and appreciate TT5B, but I wouldn't say it is better than HN. However, we all have our favorite album.

On a side note, after the Beasties drop the new album, I'd like to see them go back and remix LTI. I don't want other people to remix it, I want them to do it. I think it would be interesting to hear what they could come up with and what it would sound like.

[pshabi]

Agreed, but it can't happen as they don't have the rights to that album.:mad:

When I first heard 'Hello Nasty' I was taken back a bit, and couldn't really get into it at first. It was so much different than anything they'd ever done before. Then after a few spins, I was like dang! This stuff is unlike anything I've ever heard from any other artist before, I thought it was genius, and I really dug it. I was like, these Jewish Wizards put together something groundbreaking yet again! I was jealous of them for a minute, as an artist myself. I played the heck out of that album, for about a year after it was released. After awhile, the thrill kinda wore off, and I put it on the shelf for a bit. When I came back to it though, I had a new love and appreciation for it. I think it's up there with anything else they've ever released, and almost as original as 'Paul's Boutique' and 'Check Your Head'. My favorite tracks:

Super Disco Breakin'
The Move
Just A Test
Intergalactic
Instant Death

[senbei]

Hello Nasty just has some of the craziest production value on any album ever. 11 years later, I still hear new stuff and notice new details EVERY SINGLE TIME I PUT THAT RECORD ON.

After hundreds of play, I still have these "what?! how come I've never noticed that sound?" moments. Every times.

TT5B was cool, but it can not even be compared to HN ;)

[Kid Presentable]

Adrock did an amazing job on Hello Nasty.

Nail on the head. (y)


I am really quite curious how much Yauch and Diamond contributed production-wise on Hello Nasty. I forget what the exact number was that Mario dropped in that infamous interview wherein he stated that Adrock put together X% of the album himself. It was like 70% or something like that, if I recall correctly. I imagine the more hip-hopped out tracks were particularly more team efforts. It's obvious that Sneakin', And Me, Instant Death, and Song For the Man were his excursions, but the texturing on the hip-hop joints are just so intricate that there's gotta be multiple heads brewin' that shit.

My personal favorite record of theirs nonetheless.

[KevG]

Agreed.

If you just judge the merits... ...'To The 5 Boroughs' is very remarkable to me.

To follow your post..

I think the last song on TT5B is better than a lot of the stuff on there..

TT5B is my least favortie BB album tied with LTI..

The ONLY person I knew in 1985 that listened to Hip Hop who knew who the BB were was this kid Victor Rodriguez who gave me a mixtape that had "Party's Gettin' Rough" on it. I still have the tape (now on CD).. "I don't even wanna hear it man, you're just fessin'.."

I loved The Roots backing the BB on Jimmy Fallon show.. I think they should work together someday...

I think if the Beasties made a new album that kinda followed what the did on albums #3, 4 & 5, the new CD is gonna be insanely ill.. and I am hoping for that.

Since I'm such on a high-content post kick lately, I'll contribute this. "And Me" is fantabulous. One of my faves. "Live Wire" should've made this album though.

[Kid Presentable]

Pretty specious reasoning, and I wish it were the case.

Aside from Putting Shame in Your Game (which Mike D said they all just "kept adding noises to"), there has never been any acknowledgement from the group leading me to believe anybody but Adrock was responsible for the majority of the hip-hop cuts on there. Mike may have originally looped the steel-drum for Body Movin, but I'd bet it was Horovitz who built on it.

That album is so much Adrock it's a gift and a curse. The former because it's an incredible effort for one dude, and the latter because it really seems like the rest of the band kind of phoned it in. It's awesome for what it showed Adrock could do, but it only sounds like the group in places.

Me too, I thought the Roots did a great job. Anyone ripped the performance to an mp3?:confused:

[senbei]

What's surprising though, is that after Hello Nasty, except for the tracks Adrock produced for Scha Dara Parr and for Alive maybe, everything he produced or remixed was pretty much cheesy electronic beats that were pretty forgettable..

I guess he kinda got bored of sampling stuff and wanted to explore something else.. but really, the mix of sample + live + electronics has always been what made the Beastie sound unique. Bring back the sampling mofos :D

Which is Paul's Boutique, right? :p
TT5B still impresses me because I expected little-to-nothing from them at that point. I thought they were done, but they came back w/songs from Goofy Island, B-Boy Island and Serious Island and they all worked together as a unit, all wrapped up in a genuine old school (via ProTools) package. I'm still a fan of Licensed To Ill (that album is one I don't hear mentioned much among hardcore Beastie fans - it's almost underrated at this point, in my mind) and like that one, TT5B was/is drunk on the joy of simple beats and ridonkulous rhymes.
HN as an album has always felt bloated and too noisy to me. Granted, the hip-hop tracks are stellar - "Unite" is maybe in my top five Beastie all-time - but I can live a full life without ever hearing "Dedication", "Dr Lee PhD" or "Picture This" again.

[Kid Presentable]

You hear what he did on that Bashton track and wonder what the fuck happened afterwards. That shit was sick.

[Bernard Goetz]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z93EWZVbwE

This sounds so good. Please b real.

[pshabi]

This sounds so good. Please b real.

Let me be the first pessimist and say, "I don't think so." The way the bboys come in on the 'pella makes me think that the beat will actually be bumping before they start spitting. Hard to explain but the whole, "uhh, to the, to the people up top" shit at the beginning sounds like MCA is on a beat already, not waiting for one to drop. Does that make sense? Nonetheless, cool mix.

[Jiberish]

Ad rock has a great remix for Mexican Institue of Sound called
"Alocatel (Ad Rock Remix)" Check it out. Nice drum programing on it.

I downloaded it at RCRDLBL.com in case you wanted it.

[Brother McDuff]

Mike may have originally looped the steel-drum for Body Movin, but I'd bet it was Horovitz who built on it.


I feel quite the opposite, actually. I think he brought in the framework for most of the beats, but they all commenced to build upon the ones they were really digging. I recall another interview wherein, I think Mike, said that when they came together for the HN sessions Adrock had dozens of floppies just full of beats on his sp-12. I imagine they built off the groundwork of some basic drum patterns and sample chops he'd thrown together.

Who knows though, maybe one day we'll get a better explanation as to how that record came to be. It seems to be the least revered and discussed record of their heyday, unfortunately.

"Unite" is maybe in my top five Beastie all-time - but I can live a full life without ever hearing "Dedication", "Dr Lee PhD" or "Picture This" again.


Unite is a monster, one of their very best, IMO. I think Dedication could have been an absolute heater if it were allowed to remain an instrumental. The dedications really cheapened the groove. It took me years to see beyond the vocals and realize how sick the music is.

HN was all adrock...he was going thru his divorce at the time and buried himself in this record....someone find that kurt loder interview...

[Jazz Martian]

I don't see it that way. I think they all knew that Adrock had the hot hand at that point, so they all agreed that they should roll with it.

[Mountain_Cat_1M]

Ditto. That's a catchy tune. If that is an indication of what the new album will be like, then (y)(y)

[Kid Presentable]

I don't see it that way. I think they all knew that Adrock had the hot hand at that point, so they all agreed that they should roll with it.

Yeah possibly a better way to put it. All I'm saying is it seemed to reflect a bit of distance between the three, and that said it pulled it back together quite well. I only like Unite if I don't pay attention to it. Actually the last quarter of the album seems quite wasted, but as I said earlier it's nice enough because I'm not bored of it. Big deal.

Martijn, nice find. That snippet sounds real enough, as in it sounds like them playing it. I was PMed by somebody claiming the album was very Check Your Head-ish. If that snippet is real, and based off Lee Majors, the difference would seem to be that Check Your Head was loops of their playing which they rhymed over. These new tracks seem (seem, mind) to be them playing an entire song, then rhyming over that.

Nice thing about that is that the beat can can change quite naturally (which it seemed that the in the cut beat was about to do after the verses), and there might be different themes in their playing ie funk, hardcore, 'Gratitude'-style rock, which they'd rhyme over.

Well, martjin didn't "find" the link on youtube. He posted it from his account. So, unless he just so happened to be the only person on the whole interwebz to have the new bboys track that was previously only available as an acapella, I think we're listening to a remix.

Kinda lame of him to just drop it in here w/ no explanation, which also points to it not being the bboys. Also, I have a faint memory of him posting remixes in parts in the past, before they were completed. Kinda surprised people are so accepting that this could be legit. I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell.

[Brother McDuff]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z93EWZVbwE




hmmm. i dont know how i feel about this. its got that same kinda detachment between the vocals and music that Lee Majors has. It works a little better with Lee Majors though since that track's a bit more dirty. We'll see though, could just be the sound quality or just an early mix. That is if the track is actually real. Certainly food for thought though.

[M.C. Guevera]

I like Hello Nasty, but I'm not really a fan of the whole Hello Nasty era. I think that was the most serious the Beastie Boys have ever been. By '98, Yauch was fully involved in the Free Tibet movement, Adrock was divorcing Ione Skye, Mike D was...I don't know. The point is, looking back, reading magazine interviews and whatnot, the 3 of them seem so serious that it's kind of depressing. It's like a lot of the fun was sucked out of them. Yes, they did do the "Intergalactic" and "Body Movin'" music videos during that era, but besides that, it seems like most of the time they were talking about serious shit rather than being goofy like they usually are. I didn't really like the whole "Intergalactic Planetary! Oh by the way, we would like for you to help us in the fight for Tibetan freedom!" It's definitely a good cause, but it put a damper on things, IMO.

I know people complain about the political lyrics in To The 5 Boroughs, but, honestly, they were alot more goofy and fun to me at that point in time than they were during the Hello Nasty era. Now that Obama is in office and they've left the Free Tibet movement to the professionals, I expect this upcoming era to be the Beasties' most goofiest and silliest since Licensed To Ill.

[JohnnyChavello]

Martijn's YouTube page has a video he posted called "Beastie Soul Connection," which is a mash up of "Right Right Now Now" and some soul/funk song that sounds a lot, lot like this clip of "B Boys in the Cut." Seems more likely to be a mash than a snippet from the album.

[MintyFreshBeats]

Its crazy to me how some Beastie Boys fans don't like Hello Nasty!

Personally, its my favorite album of theirs...And one of my favorite albums, ever.

For me, its like an updated, tripped out, east coast Paul's Boutique.

To me, this is their "Sgt. Pepper's."

The variation of the tracks is really dope...Its much more than a "hip hop" album to me...

These are some of the most funky, definition of hip hop/NYC/scrunch my face up and say DAMN/breakdance-worthy/essence of bboy culture/simply ILL tracks EVER.

SO GOOD!

Damn, Minty, you pretty much just said it all. It's up there in my top three of all time for sure. It covers danceable, laughable, headnod-able, introspective, reflective, evil, mischievous, funky, futuristic, gritty, pretty, zappy, slapstick, etc. There're so many faces to Hello Nasty, no matter what shirt you're wearing that day.:D(y)

no way that can be real..it starts to sound like some BS2000 in there.. i'm sure it's effort from a fan adding some music, but it just doesn't mesh well with the lyrics at all.. my thoughts anyway.

It certainly tried to be. The beats may be comparable but the rhymes have not a patch on PB.

EDIT: I'm sure martijn is probably fucking around. This is what I get for trying out optimism.

PB's lyrics were a different era. they were young full of enery, and drugs.


musically i really really like hello nasty, tons of divercity. basically what makes the beastie boys an uncategorical band, HN cannot really be put in a genre, where as PB can. the rhymes compliment it fine enough, where clearly PB they are much sharper, funnier, interactive. it was the height of their triple interchanging style in my opinion.

just different albums. also part of what makes the beasties so great.

[pshabi]

This is what I get for trying out optimism.

This got a smile out of me. ^

[Kid Presentable]

I'm glad, shabi. I'm also glad they have a 'big' album like Hello Nasty, because it's pretty much shaped the band community. Not such a bad thing.

[camo]

Put it this way...if in an alternative dimension they had name the album 'Bratwurst Appreciation Society' that youtube link would have 'B-Boys In The Cut' set to German oompah band music.

I think it's fan made.
