Loves Album
 

Hello all, new poster here. As they say, long time listener first time caller. Just wanted to say I love the new album and the interview here on the site is funny.

The New York Times had a "critics notebook" in it Monday, October 11th. The critic compares LL Cool J and The Beastie Boys recent concerts in New York. Kelefa Sanneh(the critic): "the album also includes some of the worst Beastie Boys songs so far, and it was responsible for most of Saturday's low points" also referred to "Right Right Now Now" as "a hackneyed, flat-footed protest rap" He goes on to say how they praised the DJ instead of themselves and they shouldn't have...blah blah and Beastie Boys no longer attract women. Just wondering if anyone read the article and what you thought about it.



P.S. So hoping to catch the Michigan show on the 5th of November ;)

I'm 35 and suffering from male pattern baldness...we're still young and at least the BB's still have their hair. I look like Clint "Friggin" Howard.

Re: Why I dislike the new album

In reply to this thread, i wanna say firsty that i really like TT5B. However, the songs become a little repititous at times apart from a few stand out songs like Triple Trouble and the Brouhaha. Every song has a drum beat usually around the same tempo, very clean, crisp ryhming, great lyrics but the album overall is a little flat. Compared to Hello Nasty, the music is a little boring, nothing out of the blew, nothing stupid or funny. A more sensible record. Despite this, the album is great to listen to in the car i think, phat beats and tight ryhmes.

Firstly get a day job. You talk to much about shit, get a Job on 4 corners or something. You make a good point about snoop dog and you made me laugh.

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

At first, I didn't love it, but now I see the light.

Best fucking album EVERR !!! Especially for the time it came out in.. come on how can you not see it !?

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

You get the gold star for lamest cliche with that bridge shit kid.

Also that chemo comment was a low blow, just cause they do yoga
and are gray haired you wanna break bad on their appearances.
Wait 'til your half dead ass is all growed up and 40. You might end up
looking kinda haggard.

You're right though, you are entitled to your opinion. Just like I am.

I dig the Beasties getting up and saying something with gravity.
fuck all this played out bullshit people are rapping about these days.
I will always listen to them because of their unique blend of pure emcee
style, political commentary, crowd hyping, throwback rhyme style and
the fact that their relationship has never strained and the result is dope
album after dope album.

My beef with To The Five Boroughs is the production, the switch from
Caldato's production technique to more computer based work with Duro
is very inorganic and a huge split from their trademark sound from '98 and
earlier. 6 years was way too long to wait and the new album was an instant
classic, but I'd like to see a return to that style I described.

In regards to the quote in the Times from Kelefa Sanneh, that dude
should be blacklisted from rap reviews, he both talks and writes about it in a
very out-of-touch, mechanical manner, and never strikes me as a hip
hop fan.

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

guys , take a chill pill
i cant understand why people come this boards and say over and over again ohhh im such a huuuuuuuuge fan and i love them so much but the new album sucks and they are old men now
why do you guys come here and diss them if they are really your fav band
damn that is so annoying

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

For basically any beastie boys album you have to be in a certain mood to listen to them. For example right aobut now and for the past few days i have been in the mood to listen to ill communications last week i felt like TT5B. Its all a matter of what era you are feeling

i agree... i sat down the other day and listened to hello nasty from begin to fin and it made me wish that mario c was at the boards to filter the great concepts of 5 buroughs. the production on 5 has a lifeless feel to it. the boys live show is stronger than ever, and mike d comes with some wicked rhymes but the new record is only okay, in my opinion. oh yeah... where was the BIZ!!!

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

yeh, im not much into the new album hey they could put a little punk in it also (lb)

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

i don't agree with you, but i do like their old stuff better

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

yeah it may be your opinion but it sucks

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

i know you've gotta hate those people

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

It's not mine fav.. I love check your head more.. as far as I heard the albums

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

now thats jus plain unfair. The whole point of a message board is for people to post their views and opinions on stuff and discuss it with everyone else, Not to give a fair opinion and have everyone who doesnt think that way bicker and squable like school kids. this has happened on every board ive ever bin a meber of, and theres always been a post like this, reminding people what a board is and that other peoples opinions count even if u dont share the same view...but hold up...if i dont like it then dont post here, correct?

:rolleyes:

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

Harhar (y)
I started listen to them with their 1st. Album. And the boys grow´n grow!

first i was a bit....errrrmm...errrmm... confused about the new album. then i listened again..and again... and WHOOHOOO it´s geddin´better and better than more you listen to it..

it´s an awsome one.

you don´t like it? push the button - in this case - EJECT!!! OR "SELFDESTROY THE WOOOOOFAAA!" (!)

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

Personally, I think TT5B is a gorgeous album. Sure, It's not the Beastie Boys' best ever offering (Paul's Boutique is actually the greatest album of all time), but refreshing and funky nonetheless. My only gripe with TT5B is that it's way too short. Each time the record ends, I'm so hyped up for more. Another 15 minutes would have done me nicely.

Thats for sure.

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

i like TTFB alot cause i live in the UK and bought it when i was in manhattan on holiday so all i had was my discman and ttfb and it was ace.

woulda been cool to have a few instrumentals in there, though thinking about it im not sure if it would have blended very well with the rest of the songs.

dont know why. anyway- PEACE!

WEllS

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

This quote really hit the nail on the head! A1

Re: Why I dislike the new album
 

maaaaaaaad MC's kick the government's testicle's
the govnt defly needs a tune up, they just making it clear
they might be gettin old,...but it doesnt show, and MCA's had gray hair since he was like 12 so who cares

the albums exist on some kind of parabola
if this is the last and u only count the basic albums
license to iLL and TT5B....all rappin tracks
paul's boutique and hello nasty, far too complex to ever be appreciated and similar with mass amounts of variation
iLL Comm. and Check your head, 20 tracks each instrumentals and raw funk beats
i dont know but i always noticed this strange pattern
