I had high expectations for it which of course led to dissapointment. I was hoping that they'd come through like Cyprus Hill did.

thats the problem - once artists become popular they can realease complete SHIT knowing peopel will buy it just coz of who they are

**adjektiv** · 06-25-2004, 04:40 AM

The new Beastie Boys CD sucks so bad I threw it out of my car while I was driving the same day I bought it. They suck now.

Beastie Boys and Cyprus Hill were both at the Winnie Roast and both ROCKED!!!!!

It was diferent ... I could listen to it couple times in a row at least

**evildick** · 06-25-2004, 04:48 AM

The tune they released the video for is kinda catchy. I wouldn't buy it though. Not a big "rap" fan.

They went out of their way to get as political as possible which is fine. But if they want to make a difference in politics they should try making songs people want to listen to. All of their songs lacked any sort of melody, hook or personality. It was a completely soulless album and I feel like less of a person for having listened to it.

yea I have to agree, I'm a long time Beastie Boys fan and was looking forward to this album. But I hate to say so far I'm disappointed in it.. maybe a few songs will grow on me, but nothing really jumps out at me and says this is a good song.

**cherrylula** · 06-25-2004, 04:55 AM

They probably ran out of good samples and riffs to steal, and didn't feel like getting sued again.

I haven't dug on them much since pauls boutique.

I'm so sick of these lame mainstream bands putting out total garbage. I would wish death upon them but it would only result in more publicity and sales.

**dennisthemenace** · 06-25-2004, 04:57 AM

it is a little stale and pointed, isn't it?

**benc** · 06-25-2004, 04:59 AM

Its like most albums put out these days, it contains no big hits. I personally couldnt see putting out an album unless there was at least one song that I knew was a hit. Its like the latest overhpyed things from people like Prince and Madonna. No hits, just a bunch of nothign special songs.

I considered doing the exact same thing. The problem is that I'm too cheap so I put mine up on E Bay.

**bopha** · 06-25-2004, 04:59 AM

I thought they were trying to sound like poor ripoffs of their Licensed to Ill sound. I hate this album.

Give me Ill Communication!!!

**MeniJennaCash** · 06-25-2004, 05:52 AM

hello
sounds like paul's boutique
which wasn't a super financial success
but critics adored it
and they adore this disc
and everyone has their own opinion

I couldnt disagree more. Minus the political stuff, which I dont care for. I love this album.

**mcfly** · 06-25-2004, 07:29 AM

hmmmm. i actually really like this album. on first listen i wasn't so sure but after listening to it for awhile, i think it is pretty solid.

but that is just one man's opinion.

**TheGoldenChild** · 06-25-2004, 08:01 AM

I agree , 5 Boroughs sucks-

I love the new Prince " Musicology" though
It's genius, and reverts back to Old PRINCE

He plays all the instruments on this album as well
'the man is a GENIUS

**ytcracker** · 06-25-2004, 08:02 AM

yea prince is the man

**tony286** · 06-25-2004, 08:22 AM

I heard the record was weak thats a shame, they have always been very groundbreaking. I guess its hard to keep that edge when you are rich lol.

Cypress Hill rocks

**J-Reel** · 06-25-2004, 08:31 AM

I agree... 5 boroghs is weak, they need some punk songs on that album.

However... Beasties fucking Rock, no matter how boring their new album is.

The Beastie Boys could use a lesson in how to influence people.
