Paintings are the best thing anybody can do for their album cover.

I hope if not on Part 2, they still use the escalator painting for Part 1. Maybe they'll use the same painting for both. Wouldn't bother me at all although maybe we want two different painted covers? It's the best album cover they've ever used and one of the best album covers I've ever seen.

The title itself just rocks. It's so good and when an artist tells you in advance there will be a part 1 and 2 it reminds me of a great double album. It reminds me of when Back to the Future Part 2 came out, there was already a notice at the end that said, "To Be Concluded" and there was a preview of part 3.

The Beastie Boys rule!
