Reviews (page 11 of 15)
It’s only 3 days since the last Beasties album III Communication,arrived on my list. I hated that album and gave it 1/5. I said on that review that I quite liked the two singles which I knew appeared on this album - Fight For Your Right… and No Sleep Till Brooklyn, so I was bound to give it a higher score. It was an advantage to be able to compare both albums whilst the first was still in my mind. Listening through this album I was immediately struck that it was a lot more melodic than III Communication and found myself actually liking most of the album. To my ‘English white male in his 70’s’ ears I could actually hear the lyrics so could tell what they were on about. Very clever and amusing most of the time which I enjoyed. I also liked the sampling and good guitar riffs used throughout the album. The samples gave the impression of familiarity with the songs and the guitar riff on Fight For Your Right is up there with the best guitar riffs ever. Although not my type of music I could not help but love this album. It was a pity they could not take this to their future albums but I know they were/are not making music for people like me, so what do I know?
Phänomenal damals.
“The girlies I like are underage” - wtf
It's fun to revisit this record so much later in my musical education now I know where loads of the samples are from. Straight off, ah yeah the drums from When the Levee Breaks....ahha I didn't know they had sampled themselves much later on Intergalactic...etc. Beasties did loads better than this record in the time that they had, and you can level all sorts of criticism at this album now, but this was a good start. De la soul came on immediately after which reminded me how much better 3feet high and rising is.
Like 3 songs are bops but mostly I feel old listening to this bc it sounds like noise. Maybe I’m just not in a beastie boys mood today?
Some awesome tracks but shows it's age a little. Not as mature a record as Paul's Boutique.
The singles were great. Some of the other really felt like filler to me
7.1/10
The beats were nice. The content hasn't aged well but I guess it's meant to be tongue in cheek to an extent. Didn't like the verses or the delivery for the most part. It was ok overall. Decent 5
Good, but not their best by far.
Fun if unmemorable. They were really ahead of their times in the 80s, huh?
forica, not for me tho
Kako koja stvar, mozda da poslusam jos koji put bi sjelo kak spada.
Not my favorite Beastie Boys album but it's definitely got some good tracks on here.
It's hard to explain how mind blowing this album was when it came out. Rick Rubin deserves his rep - if for nothing else - for recognizing the possibilities from making a rap album with a punk band and using a heavy dose of Zeppelin samples. Is it an album of music worth listening to forty years on? It limps along in several spots. Super clever - to be sure - but now standing in the immense shadow of Paul's Boutique it feels flat. Then Girls - as good a novelty song as any, and Fight for Your Right which, in spite of its teenaged-meathead theme, just f@#in rocks. So I'd say, in retrospect, this is a solid debut album from a truly unique act.
A couple of bangers but it felt frozen in its time
I like the Beastie Biys, but it does tend to be a lot of the same stuff as far as sound and lyrics. Good in small doses.
A little boring?? Eek.
I like the beats and the samples and find myself bopping away to it but I just can’t enjoy their rap style. Listens: 2 Fave Track: She’s Crafty Rating: 3
I don‘t like Hip Hop much, but that album is funny
Every single Beastie Boys song sounds like this: (70s hard rock sample) (pans to the left) The Beastie Boys are kind of SHIT. (pants to the right) Stone fruits have an inedible PIT. Does it bang? Yeah, it sort of bangs.
A different style to what I'm used to but I did like the song Girls on the album. It was one I've heard before and enjoyed. The rest of the album was okay but not my style of music.
great
New drinking game: take a shot every time they say “girlies” then die of alcohol poisoning. Appreciate the blend of rap and rock here but there’s only one flow between 3 different dudes.
Hip-hop. Un poco rollo.
A fun and clearly influential album that has just aged pretty poorly. The energy is clearly there from day one, but the immaculate and experimental production that makes their later releases so exciting is incredibly rough here
Always have had a love hate relationship with the beastie boys, but aside from a few standouts, the album on the whole was a lot less cheesey than I expected. Not bad
Party!
Reminds me of middle school. Not their best album, but still some fun tracks. Paul Revere is my fave.
Brass Monkey is still a bop all these years later, Paul Revere is also on point. Plenty of filler and songs that haven't aged well, but overall a fun look into 80's frat music. 🐒🐒🐒
There are beasts in this world and there are boys.
Some fun beats and samples but as I get older this album is a bit too juvenile. This album and the final one they did a few years back are the only ones I really got into, although I like most of their singles.
Its decent, not groundbreaking or anything. Very mellow rock in my opinion
Not my thing
iconische sound, maar gek genoeg niet echt mijn ding
This is a pretty good record but wow what a missed opportunity including this one on the list over say Check Your Head and Hello Nasty both of which are superior to this one in every way. My entire listening group agreed that the Check Your Head thru Hello Nasty era of B-Boys is where it's at and we can't understand the love for Paul's Boutique and Licensed To Ill (both are on this list). This feels like the single Fight For Your Right has warped the reviewer's minds on this one haha
Nostalgic album that has aged so-so. Great start to a great career, but hardly their best effort.
The raps on this are the cringiest shit ever, but if you dont take it to seriously, there is a but of charm to them. I like it the most when they go all in on the rock, as opposed to the strictly hiphop songs. Theres some good stuff here, but it does not blow me away.
Their debut, and a point where they seemed to really straddle rock, rap and hip hop more than they did later (when they released Hello Nasty, say, which was the first album I knew on release). It really works, and this album was good fun from start to finish. One or two songs feel a little too raw, and Girls makes you feel like you're going totally mad, but by and large it was highly enjoyable.
It’s a classic and an esssential listen for any Hip Hop 101. But after a listen it’s noticeable how much better Paul’s Boutique and Check Your Head are, both are locked in 5s. Based solely on hindsight and knowing what’s coming next in their catalogue I’m gonna go 3.4
Está bien aun que a veces me da dolor de cabeza.
I know Paul's Boutique is already on this list, but Check Your Head, Ill Communication and Hello Nasty better be as well, because they are all superior to this one, as iconic as this album is.
yep, that's a beastie boys album
The Beach Boys and Beastie Boys were the same band in my head, so imagine my surprise when the album starts The music itself isn’t bad, not my first choice but there were parts I liked I liked how clever some of the lyrics were but themes of the songs and the lyrics were very much not my jam though, lots of misogyny and he drugs a girl in Brass Monkey??
Net geen 4
dumb fun
I really liked the beat and the production, it was catchy enough to gain my attention and kept it, but I’m not sure just yet if it’s something I’d like to listen to more than a few times to get hyped up.
Весела музика, але дуже рокова, на фоні її не послухаєш, можливо прикольно було б її включити в машині (не тоді коли вона їде 140), і може десь типу на пластинці
Closer to a higher 3 low 4 for me, such a fun album. The type of album I forget about, remember, and promptly spend the rest of the day jamming out to. Also first heard Girls in a AMV circa 2010, so.
this being a lowkey concept album (maybe a better term is caricature album) is doing a lot of heavy lifting to get them out of "the girls i like are underage." lol. still undeniably full of classic bangers, very strong for a debut album. when will this website let me give half stars!!! 3.5!!!! faves: no sleep till brooklyn, posse in effect, slow and low (but slow and low, hold it now hit it, and time to get ill kind of all sound like the same song to me)
Shouty, innocent angry. All songs sound same.
Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Solid but not groundbreaking Favourite song: Track 7 - Fight For Your Right
Beastie boys are definitely a vibe, but I like more melody in my music. Girls is a great song though, so that'll earn this album 3 stars.
Exactly what I expected the Beastie boys to sound like.
Solid 3. Love the playfully lyrics and delivery with a few classics.
Not something I would willingly listen to but iconic
Top 3: #11 Brass Monkey #7 Fight for your Right #13 Time to get Ill
I like the idea of ' Fight for your right to party' - those were the days 😂 Also, I played it out loud in the office for a couple of secs as my headphones had disconnected! Crazy, silly, 80s mens.
It grew on me after repeated listens. I'd previously only delved into the Beastie Boys as far back as Ill Communication, and those extra few years of maturity and production values really help. This early work almost feels like a parody of itself... you couldn't fit a sheet of paper between the actual Beastie Boys and the white-man-rap parody group Morris Minor and the Majors, for example. But it still has some real bangers on it - Fight For Your Right and No Sleep Till Brooklyn, for example.
4 and 3 and 2 and 1! Call me Dave Grohl because I can't remember being more nostalgic for music video-era mtv first thing in the morning in a while. I don't know if I'd like it as much without it though. Rating 3.4 rounded down to 3 stars.
7/10, not my favorite BB at all but groundbreaking and essential
Love the energy and the instrumentals. Lyrics can be a little corny and haven’t always aged well.
Got a few bangers on this one, the rest I could take or leave.
Some good ones, but not my favorite album from them.
Couple of nice banger songs, mostly kinda meh.
A classic album but hard to return to.
I’m really shocked, because this is my third Beastie Boys album, and I’m not even 100 days into the generator yet. Paul’s Boutique was great, but they’ve gotten progressively worse from there.
Slightly chaotic, kind of all over the place but still some good sounds and lyrics sprinkled in
Always good to listen to this lot. It's scratchy and the production is sparse. It feels so different from what came later. Classic moments that lit me up throughout. Mmmm...drop!
Not as good as Paul's Boutique but probably the Boy's second best
I like a lot of Beastie Boys tracks, but damn man, so much of this is just irritating and repetitive. Some of the samples and beats are good. Fight For Your Right is a classic and I love it. No Sleep Till Brooklyn is good. 2.5 rounded up.
algumas coisas soam datadas e outras soam como classicos atemporais??
Overall, Licensed To Ill was a very mixed bag for me, There were some songs that sounded very good and the rapping was pretty cool but on the other hand some songs could get really annoying due to some of the musical choices. I mostly liked the songs that had more rock elements but some of the simple rap songs weren't bad either. It is not a perfect album by any means but I feel the good outweighs the bad Best Song: No Sleep Till Brooklyn Worst Song: Girls
Yes cool
I remember a point in high school where the punks and metalheads mentioned how much they like the Beastie Boys. I went to listen to them after this and thought, “Why?” I definitely went into them expecting something else at the time so wouldn’t have been a bit biased. Let’s listen with fresh ears today! Songs I already knew: (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) Favourites: (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party), No Sleep Til Brooklyn First of all, that’s the most ridiculous use of brackets in a track name that I’ve ever seen. With that out of the way, I did quite enjoy this. As a teen, I felt they were just a rap group, but I can definitely recognise the angst odd punky elements now (I’m honestly not sure how I missed that as a kid). The album didn’t blow me away, but I definitely did find it to be good fun. Not sure if I’ll be listening again, but I enjoyed it today.
I wasn't expecting to start the 1001 albums off with some Beastie Boys but this was a great album to listen to before work. A lot of classic Beastie Boys tracks on here, great energy!
One wonders what the kids today make of this? Would they like it? Get the jokes? The contemporary fan base likely overlaps with that of Beavis and Butthead, JackAss and other such crown jewels of our cultural inheritance. Sure, it's fun and entertaining, but also embarrassing – and very well should be, hugely so in fact, for those who listened unironically then or does so now (those numbers are probably much higher than the Beasties would like to know). For all the fun (Zeppelin and CCR hooks, Abe Vigoda name drops), the whole thing is so massively derivative, almost every beat, to more than justify the accusations of cultural appropriation. Somehow, they were just clever enough to make it different enough to appeal to knuckleheads who didn't know much (maybe any) better. Still, the quick wittedness and entitled 'tude don't quite make up for the fact that they received far more critical acclaim and commercial success than they deserved.
Good dumb fun, very juvenile and tongue in cheek (presumably) - can't think I'll ever want to listen to again
Loved this album back when my brother introduced me to them but the rapping style does get a little repetitive for a whole album listen. Great instrumentals.
Tough to listen to unless I’m in the gym. I appreciate its importance.
It was okay
Sounds exactly what (I think) it was, some mates making an album of the favourite genre. Pretty fun listen but nothing I’ll revisit.
When they broke out of the usual 80s rap structure I thought they sounded great but a lot of this was quite straightforward rhyming pairs. Still the best Jewish origin hip hop I've ever heard.
Didn’t love this but I really respect them for the song about girls. Also no sleep till Brooklyn always goes hard
a little annoying
Some fun tracks, but overall a bit juvenile for my tastes.
overrated
enjoyed it alot. love the rock and hip hop elements. ist a 3.5 for me
Beasties were an all time great band. This was their first but def not their best album
3/5
Not my thing. Objectively great
These guys are the original "rock-rap" group. Sometimes their style of yell-rapping is hype and I'm really into it, other times it's really grating and I want nothing more than to turn it off. These guys still fall into the 80's "hippity-hop" flow, but it isn't as noticeable because of the way they perform and trade words in verses. This is an alright album and they are pioneers for the genre, but I got tired of their style pretty early on. This is good but not a 4. I'm feeling strong to decent 3/5 You can tell the person who made this list is one of those "I only like old school rap" type people because most of the hip hop albums have been from before 1993 which is crazy.
an fun album for sure. a handful of these tracks are iconic for good reason. that being said, outside of that handful, there's not a lot that i feel is incredible. not bad! just not the upper echelon. obviously a lot of the production of this album sounds like raising hell from run-dmc, and i find myself mentally making that comparison, and i feel like i appreciate run-dmc's flow better. idk there's just something about the party boy rap style that i just can't get past. also boy there are a few references that do not hold up in a modern context and feel pretty immature. still i thought it was a fun listen! favorite song(s): rhymin and stealin girls fight for your right slow and low
it’s fucking retarded of course but what are you gonna do? it’s not like they were trying to make something different
the best i think rap-rock can get. another genre i'm predisposed to hate but i enjoyed it more than i thought i would, the energy was contagious on every song and they all stood out besides one or two. hard for me to give this a great rating though. just can't be obsessed with the genre Rating - 6.0 Favs - Rhymin and Stealin - Girls - Slow Ride
- Listened to this before - Find it quite hard to rate this, I'd imagine if I heard it in the 80s I'd have loved it but it's aged quite badly - Some tracks still hold up and it's clearly very influential and worthy of making this list - Fav songs: Brass Monkey, Paul Revere, Fight for Your Right
Not the Beastie Boys’ best effort but it was still quite fun Of course a lot of the lyrics have aged like milk but you just have to accept that this was the 80s and times were different Still a very influential release for Hip-Hop Favourite tracks: Rhymin’ & Stealin’, The New Style, No Sleep Til Brooklyn, Paul Revere
No sleep t'ill Brooklyn is a classic, a mixure between rap and hard rock, they also include sample of led zep, black sabbath, AC/DC and CCR songs wich is cool. Fight for your right is of course the main track and i didn't know it was from them. I never been so much into rap music, but i known this iconic cover and considering it is their debut album, this is probably on of the best old school rap album of all time.
We used to listen to this album on the bus on the way to school. We were little and in love with rap.
I reviewed the wrong Beastie Boys album last time, but Ill Communication is their best
Overall 6/10 Favorite Song - Hold It Now, Hit It Overall not much of a Beastie Boys fan but still a fun listen
Hip to the hop rap
Realizing that my favorite Beastie Boys songs are the ones that don’t look like Beastie Boys.
There’s something about the Beastie Boys I just don’t like but if I hear them out in the wild and it’s a single, I won’t pretend like I don’t enjoy it. They’re obnoxious, they yell-rap for no reason, and have really immature lyrics and themes, but apparently had something to offer considering their legacy. 3/5 I wouldn’t listen to this album on purpose.
3.5
This was an old favorite from when I was a teenager. There are a bunch of good songs even to this day. There are a few songs on this album that if I never ever heard it again it would be too soon.
that definitely was music from the 80s
Some songs reminded me of Public Enemy with the vocals. The instruments are pretty cool especially the percussions. It was overall a fun album, I will continue to listen i think. Also love the lyrics
Young me would have given it a 5. As I’ve grown it’s just average (compared to the 1000 other best albums in the world).
gutair riff in she's crafty sounds familiar like oohhh.... cow bell tickles could feel the 🦅 in fight for your right "your mom threw away your best porno mag" no sleep till brooklyn was written about brookyln nine nine duh im sorry but all these songs are mushing together - stop shouting!! time to get ill is actually a fever dream - the background tracks are throwing me off so much
listened to again good start but not the strongest for these boys
Before Trump. Before the conspiracy theories. Before the antisemitism. It's easy to forget amongst all of his various controversies, that Kanye West was (is?) a rapper, and a good one too. He showed his promise on this debut album, with a charming, easy-going vocal style. There's some occasional wonky production, including on the hit single, but overall, an auspicious first effort.
A whole album of Beastie Boys is still a bit much but I enjoyed this one a lot more than Pauls Boutique
иногда прям 5, иногда 2
Welcome to Beastie Boys World: prepare to rhyme, steal and wank your way through adolescence, with the whole world at your fingertips as long as you shout loud enough. In their debut, Mike D, Ad-Rock and MCA are anarchic, riotous and ridiculous: it’s good fun, when it isn’t incredibly grating. I reviewed Paul’s Boutique a year or so ago (IN ALL CAPS) and was turned off by a perceived lack of range, depth, and the yelling… oh, the yelling. But after hearing “Licensed to Ill”, and then revisiting “Paul’s Boutique”, I realise what a progression their second album was, how much more sophisticated and exciting. By comparison, “Licensed to Ill” is a series of bellowed brags, with all the grace and subtlety of a gang of spotty and horny college brats. To put it diplomatically, it’s much more direct and to-the-point, proudly leaving its maturity at the door. The samples are based in the crunchy riffs of rock music, with barely a funk or soul track in sight. Led Zeppelin are a key point of reference: the whole album opens with John Bonham’s titanic drum beat from “When the Levee Breaks”, before “The Ocean” and “Custard Pie” both make appearances later on. There’s also a typically bracing, edgy lyric- “if I played guitar, I’d be Jimmy Page; the girlies I like are underage”. Wow. After an immediately attention-grabbing opener, “Rhymin’ and Stealin’” (admittedly a great start) my two biggest and best tracks come back to back in the middle: “Fight For Your Right (To Party)” followed by “No Sleep Till Brooklyn”. These best capture the Beastie Boys’ crossover with rock and emergent hip-hop, sitting comfortably in either scene right through to today. I’d also shout out “Slow Ride” and “Brass Monkey” for varying the mood very slightly with some brass samples. Elsewhere, though, the joke quickly wears thin as Rick Rubin’s relentless production and the gang’s strangled vocal cords allow for no breathing room. “Girls” at least shows some attempt at humour and levity, but is pretty puerile stuff. Throughout “Licensed to Ill”, the Beastie Boys revel in being obnoxious and crass: perhaps it’s a shared persona, or some kind of satire on adolescence, but not all of it lands forty years on. Just edging three stars on account of its best material and its place in music history, but it’s also one of the first times I’ve felt too old for an album on this list.
Some great tracks, some weird tracks. Everything I expected and more.
My favorite moments here are the ones that are denser with samples, which probably explains why I vastly prefer Paul's Boutique. This does still hold up pretty well, and it's much more consistent than a lot of the other mid-80s hip hop albums I've heard. In fact, some of my least favorite tracks on here are a couple of the singles (most notably "Girls," which I cannot abide), and some of my favorites are either non-singles or ones that I don't think caught the same level of airplay ("Rhymin & Stealin," "Hold It Now, Hit It"). "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" is pretty undeniable. Rick Rubin's career is pretty fascinating too in that he worked so well on this and Reign in Blood, for instance, but then churned out some of the worst-sounding music of all time with Californication (among others) some 15 years later.
i love this sm. bops most way through. good album to jam to.
I am, as I’m sure everyone is, very aware of the Beastie Boys by name but I had never heard any songs by them. I also recognise this cover as the large inspiration for Eminems ‘Kamikaze’ album which is not an album I hold in high regard, nevertheless I was looking forward to this. The main thing that through me off about this is the classic hip hop sound that the Beastie Boys go for, I really wasn’t expecting them to have that much lyrical focus. Honestly, for me the album starts off quite weak, the first 2 songs remind me so much of the intro to ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ at some points which I guess makes sense because of the time era, but I find their ecstatic tones to get a bit much at times. They really remind me of rap battling with your friends at lunch time at school sometimes. The 3rd song ‘She’s Crafty’ picks the album up for me due to the instrumental taking on a really cool guitar riff and the chorus being incredibly infectious, I just can’t help but say “she’s crafty!” every time. A similar theme runs on ‘Fight For Your Right’ as the rock instrumental stands out at the front which really brings some weight to the song and adds so much, also when all 3 sing on the chorus there’s so much power it’s great. Of course you see this on ‘No Sleep Till Brooklyn’ too which is just as catchy on the chorus. There are also a handful of cheeky songs on here such as ‘Brass Monkey’ that really utilises these funky brass sounds, hence the title. You also see this on ‘Girls’ which has this almost xylophone beat to it making it a very playful song. Overall, I do quite like a handful of this album but as an album it’s not something I’m going crazy for. It’s alright but the start does take away a lot for me and their vocals get a bit annoying after a while. Glad this came up though.
Bit conflicted over this one. I LOVED this when it came out, and the production still sounds fresh today. But some of the lyrics and general yobbishness are hard to digest now, no matter how much the Beasties latterly reinvented both their sound and their stance. The singles are forgettable, or maybe just overexposed, but Slow Ride, Slow And Low, Paul Revere and Brass Monkey are still up there sonically with any hip hop of that era. I guess we've all (hopefully) grown up a lot since this was first released.
Toen ik de Beastie Boys zag staan was ik eigenlijk heel pessimistisch. Maar dit album viel me nog mee. Misschien dat dit dan nog een relatief oké album is maar ondanks niet iets wat ik in mijn lijst zou zetten.
Debuutalbum van de Beastie Boys. Mijlpaal in de populariteit van hiphop, met o.a. de megahit "Fight For Your Right". Het album introduceert de stijl van de Beastie Boys goed en is misschien wel hun leukste album. leukste nummer: No Sleep Till Brooklyn Het album had bijna een cover van Beatles nummer "I'm Down" erop gehad zij het niet dat de Beastie Boys hiermee in de problemen kwamen met Michael Jackson, die de rechten bezat.
Our third from the Beastie Boys I believe, and I hope it's the last because this is the big one. Probably my last, best chance at enjoying their music. A handful of recognizable hits on here, especially "No Sleep Til Brooklyn." Some of the other ones like "Girls" and "Brass Monkey" are more of memes than actual hits, but "No Sleep" goes super duper hard. Quite a few Led Zeppelin samples on here, which is nice. But man, it really is just extremely basic hip hop. Sure, it's foundational, but the majority of this stuff just doesn't age well for me. A lot of the rapping sounds like Dale and Brennan in the Boats n Hoes video: "The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria. I'll do you in the bottom while we're drinking sangria." There's no mistaking that these are white boys. I know I liked Paul's Boutique more than this one, it's definitely more advanced. And then you've got "Ill Communication," which is even more advanced production-wise but I really didn't like that one at all. My verdict is these guys are overrated. Still, this is a pretty solid album with some great bangers. I respect it more than I enjoy it, but I do enjoy a decent bit of it. I can't deny it was fun trying to recognize the samples, and hearing bits that have been sampled to oblivion afterwards. [Sidebar: this came out four years after Grandmaster Flash's The Message, which I think aged EXTREMELY well, I gave it 5 stars on a first listen. Clearly going for different things (funky beats and more lyrical rap vs. party beats and going dummy), but that explains why one is more timeless to me than the other. No one wants to party to this stuff anymore.] Favorite tracks: No Sleep til Brooklyn, She's Crafty, The New Style, Brass Monkey. Album art: Definitely iconic, so much so that Eminem ripped it off for his Kamikaze album. White rappers be sticking together like rice, huh. 3.5/5
The second half is more rock influenced and stronger than the first half, but overall it's very fun and light-hearted.
Very fun, if kinda stupid. The beats are obviously dated but some of these genuinely rip. Girls maybe brought the whole album down a point on its own. Best song: The New Style
Musically this is really nice album. Especially considering that "Licensed to Ill" was their first album. Unfortunately lyrics are not so much for me. Nevertheless this album has it's good moments.
It's fine
THE rap album. No one has come close to it. This is everything Kendrick wants to be. Hip hop started here. 3 1/2
a classic, the influence of this is crazy. probably a 3.4 for me
Very 80s rap with rock influences in some songs. Definitely a product of its time, but not quite as bad as you would think. Towards the end is quite a bit of filler and there are some weaker moments, but the highs are pretty good and it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome.
3.5
There are tracks that I regularly come back to from the Beastie Boys, and I know I've listened to this album at least once before. This time through I'm finally paying attention to and recognizing the music that was sampled from other artists on many of these tracks. I'm sure I've still missed something. There are tracks on this album that are iconic for the band. "Brass Monkey" is such an ear worm, but not the only one on the album. There are lines from individual tracks ("No Sleep till Brooklyn", "Paul Revere", etc.) that are like little memory bookmarks for me. I've heard "Fight for Your Right" more than enough times. I'm even less enthusiastic about hearing others call out the main line from that track. "Fight for Your Right" is a good example of why I'm not rating this album higher. There is a more juvenile point of view for many of the tracks that keeps me from wanting to revisit much of this album.
Oh, to be young and stoopid again.
I liked a couple ofthese tracks but the shouty approach on all tracks wasn't for me.
Licensed to Ill is the debut album by American rap rock group Beastie Boys. It shocked the world by being the first rap album to top the Billboard 200 Albums chart, and has since release been certified diamond (10x platinum). It is also considered one of the best hip hop albums of all time, and has received tons of commercial and critical acclaim. While I enjoyed this album overall, I don't think it's as amazing as all the reviews state. Perhaps I am too used to modern hip hop/rap, so this album sounds different, but I have to appreciate the OG's. This was an innovative album and the group obviously had a lot of fun recording it.
You know, it's the Beastie Boys. It's one of their most energetic, but also gets a little repetitive after the half-way point.
Hip hop ochentero con algún tema reconocido. Rítmico y con sintetizadores. Estilo parecido en cada una de las diferentes canciones
lot of hits, but not my jam
Highlights: "The New Style," "No Sleep Till Brooklyn," "Rhymin and Stealin" Not for nothing do these guys jokingly compare themselves to Jerry Lewis. That cuts both ways. It's appreciative musically. Some of these beats are really great for '86, with an inspired, intuitive ear almost like Madlib, flanging snares, reverse bass, jarring sample cuts dropping the bottom out of verses, swarming vocal panning and overdubbing. The use of noise and rock is also strong for the time. RunDMC was *referencing* rock with keyboard approximations of My Sharona and Walk This Way, but they lose the edge. They lose it in the vocal delivery as well. The Beastie Boys, meanwhile, are absolutely letting real guitar samples run amok and screaming their heads off like all their pop metal influences. But. I don't really buy their tongue-in-cheek approach all the way. It registers as satire for future periods, but in context it's more like racist bad faith. Especially when gun violence and pimping tropes were not at all the norm in hip-hop, it comes across as culturally toxic. Make that two counts, because 80s-90s get broadly characterized by a swell in "(mass) youth culture," and this definitely seems like a reference point for that predatory chimera. What is the *function* of the satire? Do we think that trying to name an album "Don't Be A Faggot" at the peak of the AIDs epidemic was the choice of some progressive allies who wanted to deflate stigma and break down boundaries? Just because Eminem joked about being Elvis in 2002 doesn't make it a joke. Just because Beastie Boys joked about being Jerry Lewis doesn't make it a joke.
Rock rap just ain't my thing
Interesting
good
Their act is a bit exhausting, but fun. And definitely deserves to be on this list.
un tantinet répétitif mais dynamisant
This is a lovely album, and I know it is a classic. Still, for me, it is not better than "Ill Communication" (far from it), so I'll keep one or two songs from it and keep going with the latest releases from Beast Boys, which only increased in quality over the years and are getting old like wine, always better.
This re-listen of Licensed To Ill was a nostalgia trip. I've listened to this album a LOT in my youth and I still know every song. I very much enjoyed listening to this incredibly fun and energetic album again. Listening and almost giggling to the bashful and playful lyrics. And it certainly belongs on this list due to the impact it had on music. But putting the sentiments of my youth aside - this is not a really good album by itself. Neither is it revolutionary. The music was a couple of white boys doing what Run-DMC had already been doing for years - and was doing better. This brought a bit more punky and ska ('Girls') feeling to it. A few standout songs are still on here, 'No Sleep Till Brooklyn' is still a catchy and hilarious rocky anthem that should bring a smile to anyone's face. 'Paul Revere' and 'Brass Monkey' are standout tracks on this album and are giving a glimpse of what brilliant madness is to come on Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head
Cool
Have to say a lot of Beastie Boys stuff doesn't hit the spot with me. I enjoy their delivery but I think its the accompanying music that I don't like quite so much. But its always fun though
I like the Beastie Boys, I appreciate the Beastie Boys, but I don't really often want to listen to the Beastie Boys.
Not my style but interesting album. For sure, an album you have to know and listen to. I can here some Led Zepp samples.
Not their best, but still a lot of fun
Efficient and annoying as it wants to be!!
Ik heb dit vroeger heel veel gedraaid en ik hoor nu nog altijd de toffe dingen in bepaalde nummers. Maar ik betrapte me er nu op dat ik het nu bij vlagen ook best irritant begon te vinden. Dat nasale geschreeuw. Ruwe diamant die op latere platen veel beter tot zijn recht is gekomen, gelukkig.
Start of a new sound? Perhaps, but I struggle to listen to much of the Beastie Boys because the singer sounds too much like Glibert Gottfried. Still, some great sampling work (which then got sampled).
Estrena discogràfica més destacada pel que va suposar en el seu moment que pels seus atributs propis. És refrescant i divertit i d'escolta fàcil, tres conceptes no fàcils de trobar en el génere. La multitud de samples i referències al rock també puntuen en el seu benefici
Classic of they're style. Interestingly listening back to it, the cultural knowledge alluded and referenced within lyrics is quite dense, but also much more white bread Anglo than I recall. I wonder if that contributed to their mainstream success. However, I'm not a mad fan of their overall sound. Like it's punchy and good, but for more than a couple songs it's a bit much.
A classic that probably is your Facebook using Uncle’s favourite
Never listened to a Beastie Boys album before but I recognised quite a few tracks. I thought it was pretty good overall, some great guitar riffs that work well with their rock rap style. Highlights were "Fight For Your Right", "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" and "Brass Monkey".
This is a pretty strong debut and some of these songs are classics I can't help but feel that Rick Rubin's production is probably the most innovative thing about this album. The Beastie Boys lyrics on this one are purposely aggressive, in your face, and puerile at times (just look up the original title for the album). Luckily for all of us (and their legacy) they evolved.
This is quite a debut. 3.5/5
I like this old school Album, not listening to it much but there is so much to find, the good kind of experimental.
This album hasn't grown with me. I remember hearing this when it was released and loved it. As I've aged, I'm not sure I appreciate it as much. I do appreciate the history and BB in general. 3 stars.
fun metal-hiphop fusion at times but dated and obnoxious at others
hahahah white boys go brrrrr (great production, great chemistry, great energy, some questionable lyrics) fav songs: Fight For Your Right, No Sleep Till Brooklyn least fav songs: Slow Ride, Girls
i didn’t love any specific songs but i can 100% see myself putting this album on in the car
An album that starts with John Bonham’s legendary drumming from When the Levee Breaks can’t go wrong, right? I don’t like rap music, and that’s an understatement, but the Beastie Boys are the exception because they show how rap can be done right: by quoting tons of quality rock music! [It’s a pity copyright laws prevent others from following down the Beastie Boys' path.] That said, the latter parts of the album features tracks that overstay their welcome, featuring mostly screaming band members and less brilliance.
IT'S THE BEA-STIE BOYS!!
hip hop é engraçado. eu não consigo levar a serio "IF I PLAYED GUITAR ID BE JIMMY PAGE THE GIRLIES I LIKE ARE UNDERAGE!" ironicamente tem umas coisas bem led zeppelin nesse album, por exemplo, rhymin and stealin tem uma bateria completamente bozo e she's crafty tem um lick que eu tenho quase certeza que é igual a o de uma musica do led zeppelin, so n lembro qual. enfim, hip hop n é meu negocio, então só ouvi o lado A, mas eu achei legal o uso de rock em cima das batidas e rima.
Классика, но с морально устаревшим звуком. Скретчей пиздец, аж заебывает. Гитарные рок рифы звучат круто, прикольно засемплированны. Ударки отстой.
Doesn't hold up to the test of time, mostly due to the casual misogyny that the band would later apologize for. Probably the most consistent Beasies record though - all tracks are listenable and close to "singles" vs. some of the later output that had a lot (a LOT) of filler. So I have to rate this in balance...
I heard this album a decade before I'd ever heard a Led Zeppelin song so it was surprising to discover the original cuts when I get around to Led Zep's catalog. I really like hip hop and The Beasties but this one is just OK. While it was a landmark release at the time, the beats and rhymes don't hold up.
7/10 REPETITIVE AT TIMES
ожидала большего. может опять же нужно сильно больше времени, так всё сливается и выглядит вариацией одной и той же песни
classic
It's fine. Not really my musical style. Very old school. Not really a fan of the rap rock though.
80’er hiphop, alternativ rap, punk-inspireret, indflydelsesrigt, NYC
Still remembered all the lyrics. They were Soo young. Party album
Stand-outs: "Fight for Your Right," "Slow Ride," "Slow and Low"
Meh
Je voulais vous prouver qu'Eminem s'était inspiré de cette pochette pour faire peur à Moby grâce à des éléments de preuve irréfutables mais deux espions de Robert sont actuellement à mes trousses. Je vous tiendrai informés dès que je les aurai semés.
J'ai beaucoup apprécié cet album des Beastie Boys, qui a fait s'échapper de moi les idées naziabondes précédemment inculquées dans mon cerveau par les totalitaristes de Laibach. La langue française sera donc de nouveau mise à l'honneur sur ma page 1001albumsgenerator, n'hésitez pas à me suivre pour ne louper aucune critique.
I subconciously recognised most of this album without realising
Its a fun album, its high tempo, energetic and makes you smile and bob your head.
3.25
Solid beastie, but not their best work
I've tried a few times and just can't get into beastie boys
Ok it's kinda outdated.
Beastie boys blir mye av det samme, spesielt nå som vi har hørt to albumer blant de 21 første. Siste halvdel av albumet har noen av de store, Girls, You gotta fight for your right to party, og disse er helt råe, men resten av albumet er ganske fattig.
Did not âge well
The first rap album to top the Billboard charts, Licensed to Ill is a supremely goofy tongue twister of a time. Though the Beastie Boys later apologized for the casual misogyny in some of the lyrics, it barely impedes the flow, and the selection and arrangement of samples is masterful,
some very fat 808 sounds. that was the best bit really other than the iconic record sleeve.
I fucked my first sex robot to this record. She malfunctioned and scorched the tip of my penis so badly that my cum was like molten lava for 3 weeks. I pumped my load up her so many more times.
Highlights: New style Girls Rhymin and stealin Brass monkey
Thought it was ok, unique sounding, haven't rly heard anything like it, especially within hip-hop. definitely worth a relisten
has No Sleep till Brooklyn and Brass Monkey i knew what to expect and that's what it was
Ill communication>licensed to ill> pauls boutique>intergalactic fight me.
Didn't listen to it but vaguely remember it
classic
Disco de rap que fluiu bem pela presença das guitarras.
Beastie Boys are iconic for a period in which rap slowly became popular in a broader public. Their controversial crossover with punk was new and exciting, and the lyrics were ballsy. They inspired many artists, but for me I can't help but feel like this was just a joke that got out of hand. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy the joke. I like hearing the album, but next day I've forgotten all about it again.
licensed to ill. silly. shouty. girls. porno mag. whiny. know some tracks. can see how as a debut it was different and interesting. feels like anyone can make music. fun though.
Third Beastie Boys in under three weeks. Middle of them, between Paul’s Boutique and Ill Communication
Some bangers. Also a few stinkers 3/5
At the time, fans liked it for all the wrong reasons. I disliked it for the same wrong reasons. Well played, Beasties.
Takes me back to high school
3/13, 23%
Licensed To Ill is poor until Fight For Your Right, then you get a couple of monster hits and the back half hit hard. Does it deserve a 3/5 on that basis? Yeah, probably.
45 minutes of the Beastie Boys is just too much. All the songs sound way too many similar, the slow rapping passed back and forth with the extended notes at at the end of every few lines gets grating after a while. This album takes a while to get going as well, not a great first few tracks, but then a couple of their best songs about halfway through. This gets a 3, relatively high 3 because it's got a couple of their best songs on it but it's really hard work to get through a whole one.
I like beastie boys but I'm not sure about this one chief it feels like a classic beastie boys album but smth dosent set with me and the girls track certainly didn't help
It was alright, some bangers, didn't feel like finishing
Funky beats and questionable lyrics
Liking the flow n beats of the boys. Started off strongly, lost my interest after the big hits.
Boats N Hoes wouldn’t be out of place on this. I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or a bad thing
The New Style: interesting beat breaks, very 80s hip hop. “Let me clear my throught” sample She’s Crafty: strong drum intro. Slow Ride: samples the George Lopez theme song. cowbell, woodblock, Congo Girls: very playful xylophone & kick/snare pattern. “Doing laundry & dishes” lol Fight for your Right: classic!
Immature album that was the springboard to a wonderful career
Slick!
I was surprised by how many songs I liked.
Some killer beats, but the vocals never really land for me. Standout - minimalist beat on Paul Revere
Seventeen year old me would waste no time enthusiastically rating this a 5. Fifty-two year old me thinks 17-year old me is an idiot. This album just doesn't hold up at all, and gets incredibly annoying after only a few songs. I'm almost embarrassed by how much I once loved this. But, as Red from The Shawhank Redemption might say, I was a young, stupid kid. I wanna talk to him. I wanna try to talk some sense to him. Tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I gotta live with that. I'll split the difference, since I enjoy the other Beastie Boys albums on this list, and for the 17-year old kid stuck in Hicksville, USA who wore out the cassette of this album from playing and rewinding "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" ad nauseum. That cassette wasn't meant to last, but it turns out the Beastie Boys were.
Not as good as ill communication
I am most I'll and I'm rhyming and stealing. Nostalgia at its finest
Yeah this is some OG white boy rap. Some good fun on this album.
I love what the Beastie Boys brought to the music scene; they are undeniably among the select few pioneers of the rap rock style in the late 80s and early 90s. It's impressive how solid they sound on this debut album -- it's like they had already been doing this for decades. That is only further exemplified by the fact that several of their biggest hits come off of this debut album. One of the amusing things about Beastie Boys has always been their ability not to take themselves too seriously. Half the time, it feels like they are joking around with each other and being stupid, and they're letting you in on the joke. I will say that objectively, this album does sound pretty dated by rap rock standards. But you know what? It's still just so old school cool. It was fun to listen for the various samplings throughout this album -- my favorite among them being Led Zeppelin's When the Levee Breaks and CCR's Down on the Corner.
Got better as it went. Sounded like a bunch of young lads just having fun. Contains some monotony. But pretty damned good at it's high points. Conor - 3 Bill - 2 Shannah - 3 (2.7/5)
Iconic East Coast rap album with some absolute classics. A couple of weak points though, which docks them a star or two. They still have more influence, relevance and authenticity in the tips of their little fingers than Kanye and his ilk ...
The Beastie Frat Boys.
shouting with cool beats
3/5
Ok, I think that's the last of the Beastie Boys for me on this list and that's 3 for 3 (boom, tish!). Faves: Fight For Your Right, No Sleep Till Brooklyn
Brooklyn frat boy rap at its best!
Bom.
I’m getting too old for this.
A bit corny at times, but fine.
This was quite an audacious debut by a bunch of Jewish kids from NYC who loved hip hop and rock. Brash and obnoxious lyrics delivered with an "in yo face" style. Sampling Black Sabbath and Led Zep on She's Crafty and When the Levee Breaks no doubt adds to their street cred. Eminem said this album changed Hip Hop and who am I to disagree.
Solid plata. Fullt þarna sem ég var búinn að gleyma.
3, some real jammers
Alguma músicas mais legais que outras. Ouviria vez ou outra.
Omd school hip-hop
Least fav beastie boys record. Kinda childish.
Pretty decent album. Some songs were great but some were sort of a slog. I liked it more than I thought I did, but I like their later stuff that has more going on instrumentally.
While influential, I don't think is this the best Beastie Boys' album. But there are definitely a lot of timeless songs that are on this record.
There’ll never be another like this (or Paul’s Boutique) for a long-ass time given the unique nature of sampling at the time, and that alone provides limitless intrigue for me. The samples are all over the place and though often primitive, exude the kind of creativity only ignorance can inspire. Despite the optics (you’ve seen that track suit promo photo), LTI sounds less like hip-hop cosplay and more like an early hip-hop laboratory. And even though it’s experimental by nature, these dudes really knocked it out of the park with a handful timeless classics (as well as a few duds). It’s lightning in a bottle marred by growing up dumb white kids. So yeah, it’s really fun to hear a buncha punks rifle through funk and classic rock’s greats, chopping em up with an 808, and finding mainstream success in an emerging genre with some of the weirdest (and yeah, poorly-aged) rhymes. As dated as this feels at times, the entire Beasties blueprint is right here. It just takes a little growing up before they perfect their craft. 3.5/5
Músicas para quebrar tudo!
only a complete douchebag would listen to this on a daily basis. some songs are fun, though.
I can't take the Beastie Boys seriously anymore. Andy Samberg/Lonely Island has retroactively ruined them.
Love a bit of the Beastie Boys, but I'll admit by the end I'd heard enough.
p546, 1986. 3.5 stars, not strong enough for 4. Wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did. Rap meets heavy rock riffs, bass and guitar. THE sound of twenty year old American white boys in the mid 80s, taking the piss of out everyone and themselves. Having said that... points deducted for Girls, which is just cheese - compare that with the next track, which is Fight For Your Right - and it is all a bit shouty and "samey".
Like beastie songs way more than albums
Most of the songs on here are obviously good to great, but the Beastie Boys style gets grating for me at album length.
more like 3.8
Lögin sem ég þekkti ekki bættu litlu við þau sem ég þekkti vel, en ágæt hlustun svona oftast.
It sounds suuuuuper dated, and looking back this is probably by far the Beastie Boys weakest album both for the frat boy lyrics and the dodgy musicianship. having said that, Fight for your right and No sleep til Brooklyn are bangers
It's easier to enjoy the Beastie Boys when all they're fighting for is the simple right to party, rather than for Tibetan freedom. Whilst the latter may be a worthy objective, the former is much more achievable. In fact, they nailed it here, on their debut LP. It may not be very sophisticated, but this is a big, fun, bombastic party in album form. 3.5/5.
lyrically interesting, with a good flow its odd you dont hear them much anymore
Very similar to Run DMC. Some good songs and it's nice to have something different but gets very samey.
Solid
Have genuinely never listened to this record. So, here we go... Man, that drum sound is H-U-G-E! Guitar tone is pretty killer too. I love how the Beastie Boys (and rap from this era, in general) always seems like such a team effort. Especially with the Beastie Boys. They always know when to underscore a punch line by screaming the lyric in unison. All that said, I just don't really care. I wasn't there and I feel like you had to be there. Or, at least, you really aren't in a position to "get there" when you're a 39-year-old dude from Grosse Pointe.
Fun! Not really my kinda music, don't get most of the references and don't gel with this style of hip hop, but I appreciate that there are some true classics/bangers in this album. Not a huge fan of the shouty-ness of it all. With the exception of one or two songs (fight for your right, hold it now hit it), I probably won't listen to it again but that's got more to do with my personal preference. Can see why this is on the list given it's "cultural" significance and pioneering style.
Beastie boys are like a cooler micheal scott got drunk and decided to rap Best song: no sleep till brooklyn Worst song: brass monkey ffs Honorable mention : low and slow
I have mixed feelings about Beastie Boys, because I find them both enjoyable and annoying at the same time. What I enjoy the most is the production value. The vocals can sometimes get irritating, but it's part of what separates them from the rest. The combination of energetic vocals, rock samples, and punk ethos all blend together in a perfect way that only the Beastie Boys could accomplish. Strangely, I found myself enjoying the deep cuts more than the hit singles. Not sure if that's due to hearing them so much, but they are some of the weaker tracks for me. Overall, it's mostly enjoyable, but a little goes a long way.
ill🤒est
I still struggle with this one. If this is the “proper” Beastie Boys, then I am obviously not the fan I thought I was.
Still wouldn't say I am a BB convert, my natural aversion to hip hop prevents me, but I enjoyed this FAR more than I thought I was going to. Can see how it has been so influential.
Very samey sound to all of the songs. Some diddly lyrics. Good in small doses.
Hot beats and casual misogyny. It's enjoyable but there is definite cringe
Quite listenable, I like it. And I recognized some samples and songs, which was also nice
My first rap album. As a pre teen white kid from rural UK this was a non confrontational way to get into hip-hop/rap whatever we called it back then. I don't think I knew it was unusual for 3 white kids to produce this as it shouldn't be but certainly made them stand out at the time. I only got the here the radio hits back in the day and took me to me students years a decade or so after to enjoy the full album. Not a favourite but a fond memory nether the less. 3/5
Great to hear the classics in context on this one. Suffers from the usual BB drawbacks (vocals on top of each other in the mix especially) but the production and guitar here still make for an entertaining LP
Still good fun!
Didn't like it. not really my thing.
Like this more and more, the samples are truly amazing, and the lyrics are so honest. Young adults wanting what they really want.
So different
I dig the humour that runs through the Beastie Boys' music, and there's plenty on display on this album, but the one-trick-pony nasal obnoxious delivery of these white boys does a number on my ears after an album worth. Glad to have ridden the train all the way but I won't be visiting this place again. (Though I may occasionally visit Fight for Your Right, as it's a perfect meld of their various styles).
Schon besonders aber halt beastie und nicht Beauty
I mostly know later Beastie stuff, so some of this sounded pretty raw. The rhyming schemes are great but lyrics are dated. You can see the budding genius though.
I grew up listening to the beastie boys so it’s nostalgic for me, but other than the hits this album is pretty underwhelming.
Not my thing, all seemed repetitive beats and similar rhymes, couple of songs i thought where clever like the girls song
I'm conflicted about this. Songs like Fight for Your Right and Brass Monkey are iconic and entertaining, but all of the rest sounds...the same. Same beats. Same flow. Plus two of the three Boys sound like Rick and Morty characters, which is not a good thing.
Some good classic tracks like fight for your right, many songs sound like the beat was made by a primary school child in music class through. Bit like a low rate white version of NWA
The trios ability to play off of each other’s rhyming and whatnot was awesome to finally sit down and listen to carefully over the length of the album rather than just listening to the more popular songs and seeing how it all works cohesively.
While this contains a significant number of Beastie Boys greatest, I found it challenging to get through—much as I did when it came out. Unlike many artists who seem to lose their spark as they age, Beastie Boys actually improved over the arc of their career.
The rock aspect and production are great but the lyrical content and structure feels juvenile.
So hard to rate. Some songs are classics, and some are absolute shite, but still somehow classics (e.g: Girls). And the black cultural appropriation is embarrassing (he says 'Aks' instead of 'Ask'). But then Fight For Your Right is such a classic, fuses punk with a more hip-hop style. Overall, as a whole album, pretty bang average, in fact not even that great. And yet because it has some classic tracks it has to get at least a 3.
There is do denying that this is an incredibly fun record. However, this much beastie boys in one sitting can get very grating, very fast. best enjoyed in smaller doses, for me.
You like men and we like beers... Yeah... Okay, 2-3 hits, kick it, you gotta fight for your right to hit the Kuhglocke. Am Stück ist es mir zu anstrengend, für zwei, drei Lieder 90s-feelig gern.
Listened to it in bed, decent, but wouldnt buy
prefer their later stuff
Some filler but still a cracking album in parts - no sleep Til Brooklyn rocks
Whew. I mean, it was a classic album alright. Similar to lauper, but obviously more streamlined and connected, the flow was great and the style was cool. A few parts felt cheap but. .. seems like the point. I mean, you wouldn't call hollywood undead stupid right? Cause thats part of the point. So .... i mean it gets a 3 for sure. wasn't amazing, wasn't super good, but wasn't bad. obviously the lyrical content is another thing. I won't go into that mess.
Fun listen, a bit more interesting than the other albums so far.
Tämä ei ollut ihan niin sekava pläjäys kuin aiemmin arvosteltu Beastie Boysin Ill Communication. Tällä levyllä oli myös muutama tuttu hittibiisi, mutta ei tämä siltikään noussut enemmän kuin kolmen tähden arvoiseksi. Huuto- ja lällättelyräppiä ei oikein jaksa määräänsä enempää, varsinkaan kädenlämpöisiä biisejä.
Not a bad debut, some duffers on here (looking at you Brass Monkey and Girls) but overall decent.
Bon son pour Peter des gueules ! Un peu de mal avec la voix !
Preferred 5ive's version
