Product Description

From Amazon.com
On their previous album, Ill Communication, the Beastie Boys expanded their parameters yet again, melding cutting-edge hip-hop with slinky jazz, butt-wiggling funk, weepy classical, and combustive punk rock. Four years down the line, the group's music isn't nearly as organic. They've all but abandoned the guitars and returned to the kind of old-school beats and rhythms that defined their groundbreaking 1989 disc, Paul's Boutique. But Hello Nasty isn't a regression, and it's anything but a cop-out: in addition to resurrecting the best elements from their past, the Beastie Boys have embraced the dopest high tech gizmos of the computer age. Hello Nasty gurgles like galactic sulfur pools, whizzes like a Sega game, and slurps and thumps like the best backward Hendrix loops. Add in a cavalcade of Latin percussion, calliope keyboards, and exotic samples (Stravinsky, Stephen Sondheim, Jazz Crusaders, Rachmaninoff), and you're left with one of the most creative and jubilant hip-hop records to date, even if you exclude witty lyrics like, "I'm the king of Boggle / There is none higher / I get 11 points off the word quagmire" ("Putting Shame in Your Game"). To paraphrase über-critic Robert Christgau, Paul's Boutique may have been the band's Pet Sounds, but Hello Nasty is the Beasties' Sgt. Pepper's. --Jon Wiederhorn

5.0 out of 5 stars Listen with a open mind, 14 Oct 2003
By Rob (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hello Nasty (Audio CD)
When I first heard this album I thought it was a bit weird. I listened to it again and a realized that its meant to be weird! But the really amazing thing is that this ( when listened closely ) actually makes a lot of sense and relaxes you. Some of the songs sound like your in a lift but they are so good that you woulden't mind being stuck in a lift with this album playing. I intend to buy more beastie's albums to keep me melo and keep my mind at ease.
Some songs make you laugh, some you sing along to some you dance to. Rock, Jazz, Hip-hop this album has everything and succeds in mixing it into a blend of brilliance that everyone can enjoy.

If you do not own this album buy it right away!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The rap stuff is great, the other stuff less so, 13 Feb 2003
This review is from: Hello Nasty (Audio CD)
Having been the first white artists to hit the top in hip hop with a very punky approach and old-skool party sound, the Beasties haven't been hguely prolific over the years - this was their 5th album, 4 years after the 4th, and as of February 2003 they've all but disappeared again. With 22 tracks there's potential for variety, and that they certainly offer.

There's lots of pure hip hop on here. 3 MCs and 1 DJ is the track many regard as the best, a view I'd go along with, as Mixmaster Mike's turntable work adds a lot to the raps. The single Remote Control is anotehr firm favourite, the chorus making great use of the decks. The very short Just A Test, Putting Shame In Your Game, and the big singles Intergalactic and Body Movin' are pretty ace as well.

Sadly, the experimental moments are often less successful. Tracks like Instant Death make poor attempts to add emotion to the proceedings, Flowin' Prose is just a bad Tricky parody (in general, parts of the album can be accused of being inspired by the people who the Beasties inspired in the first place), and a lot of the stuff after track 12 is utterly forgettable - the raps seem to lose their urgency after this point as well. Picture This and the instrumental Sneakin' Out the Hospital are perhaps the best of the experiments.

Still, its a 22 track album, well over an hour, meaning that you can drop 20 minutes worth of material and still ahve an excellent hip hop opus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beastie Boys return to Hip-Hop, 16 May 2003
By David (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hello Nasty (Audio CD)
One of their best albums- I recommend that you nuy it. With the excellent Intergalactic, 3 mc's, remote control, and the rest. The interesting skits between songs and some of the more experimental stuff make this a great album for the new beastie boy and the old. Get it.
