Advantages: sheer brillance

Disadvantages: the instrumentals

The Beastie Boys really shine on this album. The beats are clear, the rhymes are bold...wait, wrong album. "Ill Communication" paves the way for funkier breakin' in "Disco Breakin'" and "Alive" with smooth instrumentals like "Bobo on the Corner" and "Sabrosa". The hits from the album, "Sabotage" and "Sure Shot", are good, but songs like "Get it Together" and "Flute Loop" will keep you coming back for more.
There are a lot of hardcore songs on this album, but with over 20 tracks, they don't clutter up the "hip-hop" too much. Additionally, a couple of the songs drone on near the end, but that's the point. I don't particularly care for them, but that doesn't make them bad. I'm pretty sure most of you who would like this album already have it, but to the few of you out there who don't, check out the musicianship. There are some really smooth songs on the album, and some great beats.

Well now Deep .. your original review WAS nicked from the site that Alk talks about ... but it seems you have deleted this and replaced it with your own review. Glad to see this and please don't try plaigarising. No benefit will come from it in the long term.

Fantastic review of a seminal album. I just love that mashed potato line. Who needs pie????
