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 love the new album...........its their best yet! I don't care how old they r or if they have grey hair.......its the music that counts.

I think tt5b boroughs is a very solid album. But I thinnk what all of us hardcore beasties fans are missing is the mix of styles that were on their last 3 albums. Lets face it ,the boys are not the best MC ' s or musicians but when all those styles came together on one album it made them unquie and epic. But in all due respect TT5b is probably their more focused album and it's just like the beasties to switch it up when everyone was expected an album with hip hop and instrutments to do an all rap record.

I think it is important to speak your mind as long as you are not greatly offensive and inappropriate. Regardless, if they are republican, democrats, or independents, pro-this, pro-that!!! In this world you have to stand for something! Though, sometimes I get confuse as to what it is the Beasties stand for. Sometimes.....I question do they pratice what they preach?

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.

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.

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

[boys_beastie]

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

[the_last_b_boy]

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

[ericg]

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.

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

[miss pie]

don't be silly,to the 5 boroughs is the best...it's inspired me to visit New York.

[kleptomaniac]

i love this cd!!!



most people prolly just like their old stuff better...i do too, but i most definitely do not hate TT5B


SHAZAM!

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!
