 ... they released 'Paul's Boutique', a masterpiece, and waited for it to blow up. It never did and was essentially forgotten until recently. They then decided to get back to playing their instruments on 'Check Your Head', to a rapturous reception. 'Ill Communication' basically picks up where 'Check Your Head' left off. All the 70s funk samples are there, the aimless jams and big hitting raps, but just mucH much BIGGER! It features the most well known Beastie Boys songs (except &...more

Oh tread carefully you innocent ones, it's got one of those 'Parental Advisory, Explicit Lyrics' stickers. Must be good then eh!. I reckon this sort of sticker is a ploy to inflate sales, a dark and sinister marketing tool that more often than not achieves its aim. It lends hormonal teenagers in need of a way to further infuriate their poor parents a vehicle to do so. There are so many albums with this much abused sticker that I'm surprised no one has thought of a 'Teenage Advisory - No Explicit Lyrics'. It would surely appeal to the over-35's. So there were bad boys before Eminem, although you'd be hard pressed to ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review The best of the Beasties. (252 words)

This is my favourite Beastie Boys album - it's got everything, from brilliant instrumentals to the funkiest of beats, from relaxed chillout tracks to the funniest samples, from perfectly juggled rap to evil guitar noise, all topped off with the sheer genius that is Sabotage. This album is one of the finest works of a group of people who have acheived the impossible task of being consistently cool for the best part of two decades. You have to be something special to be a successful white rapper, and the Beasties are the most successful proponents of this (thankfully) sparsely populated genre. Ill Communication is the product of a varied and qualified mix of ...  Read the complete review

'Il Communication' relly defines what the Beatie Boys are all about. It may not be their best album (that award goes to 'Paul's Boutique'), but is the most Beatie Boys album that they have made. All the elements which made this band messianic kings of cool are on this album - the 70s references, hardcore punk, effortless yet hugely entertaining hip-hop and that one rapping syle that they have that goes 'de-de-dada-de-de-DA' where they sing in staccato and then emphasise the end. This really made them into the massive world-conquering institution that they have become. After 'Lincense to Ill' had millions of disaffected 80s ...  Read the complete review

It could be said that the Beastie Boys have made a carrer out of telling people who they are, and thats all they ever say in their raps. True, most of their raps do contain references to themselves, but on this album in particular, they do so much more. 'Ill Communication' is a swirling melee of hip hop breaks, new york stlye 70s jazz- funk and a whole heap of attitude. From the album's hip hop- tastic starter, 'Sureshot', the album swerves from the rock/rap ('Sabotage'), the cool funk ('Sabrosa') and the skate- punk ('Heart Attack Man'). The songs compliment each other so well that to pick a favourite or best track on it ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Ill Communication - Beastie Boys: Masters of Video!!! (132 words)

This album is by far the best album the Beasties have ever produced. When people that dont know about the Beastie boys think of what their music may be like, they must think the worst. All of that noise and shouting and taking VW badges from Car Bonnets.....Well....Its not like that. They are very talented musicians as you would hear on this album if you bought it. They have a subtle blend of Rap, instrumental and incidental type music which makes for a varied and interesting listen. The two main title tracks from this Album are Sure shot and Ill Communication. They were both released as singles and and had cracking Videos!!! Sureshot was filmed like a 70's cop ...  Read the complete review

Quality album Not easily available

Sorrow Throughout The Nine W.. - Amon Amarth
Five excellent songs capturing the Swedes at the peak of their abilities. Short, and not as easy to come by as the other albums.

Mirror, Mirror - Blind Guardian
3 Blind Guardian classics and a faithful cover song. Short, hard to find and not really worth the effort.

Perpetual Burn - Jason Becker
Incredible guitar performance from an overlooked and ill-fated musician. Nothing for the casual listener.

Two albums for the price of one. Neither is very good, and only seven songs are new.

America Eats Its Young - Funkadelic
Lots of big tunes Inconsistent

Metamorphogenesis - Esoteric
Haunting funeral doom metal that won't bore the patient listener. Third song is too similar to the second.
