Why I dislike the new album - Page 4

Thanx lastbb for taking the minute.

I can appreciate it. And who knew you were going to trig out trigonometry...

For those who may not know, I took the liberty of looking it up. A parabola is the curve formed by the edges of a plane when cutting through a right circular cone at an angle parallel to one of it's sides... Or latin for just, placing side by side. In any case it's straight up and flipped it's ready to spin.

It's all just so fantasticly lovely.

"... and so strange But it was empty until you came..."

Ok let's take it from here.

PS Who in the hell is ever going go to figure the new title out? Degeneration X can't even figure out Y. I might as well ask them to figure out the theory of relativity in the meantime, or in realtime, or even in good time.

it's good, but the worst of their albums

Aside from some cool posts that paint a positive picture of the album, what this thread did for me was force me to consider how lousy the education system- in English-speaking countries, at least- must be. Not because people can't spell or use grammar correctly, but because people from English-speaking countries can't develop or express a coherent thought in their (presumably) first language.

i have been a beastie fan for MANY years and i was very disappointed with the new album--- i didnt like the serious and political talk--- and you cant dare say that i am not a fan or i am not maturing with them because the reason we are all still listening and we are all still fans is because we dont want to mature-- we aren't going to throw in the towell like everyone else-- so i say f#*% all the political junk, we want to hear what we have grown up listening to---- dead, pure, off the wall b-boy style--- its the new style ya know

This gem of an album was originally titled To The Five Burros since some of it was recorded near the Grand Canyon.

Did you know that donkeys can work for as many as 30 years? Look it up!

it was a little skimpy on orchestration.

There are so few artists that have any DESCENT personal politics, so it's very refreshing to have an artist actually write lyrics about something that MATTERS. Good for the BBoys, for sticking to their princicples, rather than writing about other things that might have helped them sell a few more albums. We need MORE artists, not LESS, that speak out against war and oppression!

Kudos to the BBoys.

If the b-boys didn't change their sound from one album to the next, they'd be the Rolling Stones or Bruce Springsteen.

You can tell that the boys are passionate about the music they make. You can hear it on every album, every ep, and every b-side. They love what they do. Thats because they are never stagnant. They make the music that they are passionate about when. If they tried to record license to ill everytime, they would have been a gimmick. Instead they are one of the most consistently innovative groups ever.

As artists, change should not only be expected, but it should be encouraged. If you don't like it, put it away and fire up a favorite.

I don't like TTFB, buts thats only because I don't care too much for how basic it sounds. If you listen to hello nasty, you notice how much shit they jammed on that album and your jaw drops (or at least it should). All that production and detail is what I expected on ttfb, but what I got was straightup hiphop with mediocre beats and a very few layers. I liked hello nasty because the music behind the lyrics were just as good as the beasties themselves. ttfb isn't bad (ch-check it out kicks ass), but its definately not as badass as it shouldve been considering how long i waited for it to come out.
