Pretty good
, May 15, 2002Reviewer: dime60411 - See all dime60411's reviewsI just got this a couple of days ago. Let me tell you. I listen to all kinds of rap. My personal favorites is Nas and Eminem and bone and crucial conflict. I didnt know who the beastie boys were. I had some extra dough and i just decided to get the damn album. For some white boys they pretty good to me. They do rap. Only a couple of songs on this cd are rock and roll. Plus their are at least 10 bougus tracks. But that leaves you with 30 others who are pretty good. I got their other album to called licsend to ill. Thats really good to. I plan on gettin some more of their albums ... -
If You Must Have Only One BB Album In Yo
, August 7, 2001Reviewer: jackrabbitslim - See all jackrabbitslim's reviewsCollection, it should be this one. It's got all the major beats and jams, plus a few odds and ends. A few lame cuts, but it puts them in perspective (is everything YOU do perfect?) The liner notes are extensive and show's the boys for who they are: Three punks from NY, NY with attitude that happen to be smart and can rap. Too bad Eminem doesn't have half what the boys still do.

Pro Reviews: Sounds of Science
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews At the close of the '90s, the Beastie Boys had only released five albums, which may not seem like enough music to provide the foundation for a double-disc retrospective. But between 1981 and 1999, they released countless B-sides, non-LP singles, and EPs, resulting in a sprawling discography ripe for a compilation. So, in 1999, the Beasties released the two-disc compilation The Sounds of Science, which covers every incarnation of the band from Pollywog Stew to Hello Nasty. Inevitably, some well-known songs are missing -- only three cuts from Licensed to Ill are here, and their breakthrough single "Rock Hard" had to be pulled when AC/DC refused permission for a sample. Ultimately, that doesn't matter, since the set captures the spirit of the Beasties so well. Usually, compilations that don't follow chronological order are a little muddled, but The Sounds of Science benefits from its jumbled sequencing, since it emphasizes the band's astonishing musical reach and consistency. After all, every album since Paul's Boutique has followed a similarly unpredictable pattern, as the group moved from hip-hop to punk to funk to jazz. What's remarkable about The Sounds of Science is that it has all the obvious suspects, but since they're rubbing singles with album tracks and B-sides like "Skills to Pay the Bills," two outtakes from the abandoned country album, alternate versions of "Jimmy James" and "Three MC's and One DJ," Fatboy Slim's brilliant remix of "Body Movin'," goofs like the Biz Markie-sung cover of "Benny and the Jets," and the excellent new single "Alive," it all sounds fresh. There's much more than hits here, but The Sounds of Science achieves something most anthologies don't: it summarizes the attitude and spirit of the band, while offering some new revelations even for dedicated fans. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

As the first white rap group of any importance, the Beastie Boys received the scorn of critics and strident hip-hop musicians, who accused them of cultural pirating, especially since they began as a hardcore punk group in 1981. But the Beasties weren...Full Beastie Boys Biography
