the cow bell sent me over the edge
Siento que no es tan mi estilo musical
No aprobado 2/10
shit
Do not like.
im sure they are influential but God this was a hard listen
Every. Single. Song. Is. The. SAME
Never again. Such crap.
Misogynist biggots
No mi estilo
oh my god dude
yoooo swag ich bin so cool wie Bernd das Brot 67!!!1!!!
i don’t think i like these boys much on this album but hoping for the best for some of their other records
4 mecs qui crient des trucs décousus sur un rythme répétitif et plein de bruitages superflus. Sacré coffre nonobstant. Par contre les voix ont toujours le même timbre, toujours les mêmes intonations, au bout de la 3e chanson j'en pouvais plus. Les changements de rythme/style au sein des musiques par contre m'ont plu, genre la fin de "The New Style". Mais pitié arrêtez de hurleeeer
Shes crafty has kinda flow to it . I know Girls from somewhere idk where but its a funny song. Rest is not my stuff
Não gostei muito. Parace mais barulho do que musica mesmo. Coisas faladas de qualquer eito sla
definitely not for me
I don't care for the Beastie Boys 1.5
Meh
You should be embarrassed to listen to this.
Quelques éléments intéressants mais je n’aime pas le son
trash lol my 10 year old lil brothers raps better
Not for me at all
Some iconic songs and I can see the appeal for the time but wow I lowkey hate the beastie boys. I always hated Fight For Your Right. And whatta ya know, this whole album sounds like that song. It’s just three dudes yelling for 44 minutes. Is it 3 dudes? Idek. I started getting used to their sound by the last three songs so MAYBE it can grow on me overtime but that was just awful. Brass Monkey is pretty good though of course.
I don’t like this at all, and I really can’t take it seriously. A couple of hits like “No Sleep Till Brooklynn” are good but the rest is trash. Like on “Girls” and “Slow Ride”. What were they thinking?! It’s also crazy how much one of the members sounds like Mr. Poopybutthole from Rick & Morty.
not my cup of tea. very repetitive also
holy arsch
Not for me
Not my kind of music, I can see why it is so popular but I’m personally not a fan. Reminded me of the music in Hamilton.
The first song already sounded to me like that one rap in Amazing world of Gumball. And then the whole album was like that.
Didn’t listen yet.
Rap ist keine Musik. Kein Pardon!
la prima canzone che ho sentito che mi stava piacendo? una random consigliata dopo la fine dell’album… that says it all
Could only listen to two songs, the lyrics were disturbing and I hated the sound
i listened to the first two songs and didn't like the vibe. not really my style of music
Forst time listening to the beastie boys, I actually liked some of the production at times however I find the rapping annoying and the lyrics quite cringeworthy. Something very artificial about it, like a parody of a rap punk band
I genuinely struggled my way through this. I loathe the vocals on this album so much, idk if it’s the cadence, the rap (/singing/shouting?!?!?), the fact it sounds exactly the same on every track, I just honestly hate it. Although this album includes some classics, many of the tracks include lyrics that have aged like milk and make the album totally vieux jeu. I didn’t even know about the controversy about this album before I listened, I just really hate the way they sing/rap and I can’t really get past it to appreciate the production.
i didnt really like it but it was ok
so far, not sure this is for me! 1. skip 2. better than 1, let it play on but lost interest 3. like the beat of this so far!! music is so sick but just not a fan of the vocals 4. let it play, growing on me fs but still wouldn’t put on 5. luvvv the backing of this my fave so far!! 6. very much giving nursery rhyme? 7. again don’t mind but at this point it’s all blending into one & i’m not willingly listen — gorg electric guitar @ 2.00 mins not feeling like listening to the rest currently. may return! good experience, defo a genre i’m not the biggest fan of! just learned it’s the beastie boys’ debut studio album. very cool ⭐️ excited for this 1001 albums journey, what a classic to start on even tho it wasn’t quite my taste.
Did not like it one little bit
I can’t I’m sorry
Not my cup of tea
By contrast to yesterday.
I feel like someone’s playing a trick on me…….what the fuck is this album
half a song in not my type of music at all genuinely dont think i can get tbrough this😭
no 808s
One classic and a decent other one. Rest just shouty shitey shallow . You die happier having missed it
I think I'm too woke and feminist to like this album. Even though the instrumental are really cool, I find the text very mild and they always rap the same way on every song... Also the line "All the girls I like are underage" can't pass in 2025 (soon 2026)
I hate it. White men shouting. Not good rap and also not good rock. Hope tomorrow isn’t Beastie Boys
Never liked them, led zeppelin samples and a threat to VW cars…..
this might be the worst rap i've ever heard in my life and i listen to kpop.
Not my thing. Music for young blokes
I like the beastie boys in theory, but the backing tracks on these songs are really lacking. Obviously Fight For Your Right and No Sleep Till Brooklyn were good, but the rest was mid as hell... the song girls (regardless of it being satire or not) was so bad.... like if you're going to make a 'misogynist anthem' at least make it sound good. Anyways I was optimistic going into it but this is definitely a 1 star
Immediately no.
Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill Maybe this was badass in 86 but even as a kid they never really interested me. First album I have skipped through sounds. Rhymin and strain - meh The new style -even worse; Self referential BS She’s crafty - different background riffs, same hip hop emptiness Fuck me, every song sounds the same…. Girls - at least this sounds different. Ugh. Fight - at least this has a decent anthemic chorus. Heard this 100s of times;I still skipped through. No sleep - best so far, not a high bar I can’t wait for this album to end. This does not bode well for hip hop in general…
Had heard of the group before, so at first, I was excited to listen to their album. However, to be honest, I was disappointed. They sound like a bunch of smart kids trying to be badass. It's just not for me.
No thanks. This was really not it for me, i’m not a fan. I Think they do some interesting things with different sounds but I am not really a hiphop person and I do not like the vocals
Fucking annoying besides one song
Unlistenable but had hit songs that I knew just didn’t like
and if i played guitar, i'd jimmy page. the girlies i like are under age some fun lines in what to my ears is extremely grating
If i have to hear the boys o f beast Reusing flows, the same 4 beats For 44 minutes on repeat I'll drive my car straight off the street
I like several hip hop artists, but because of the difficulty I find in understanding their approach, I consider it merely noisy and excessive in its resources. The album begins with a song without many changes that I didn’t enjoy at any point. I do like energetic songs, where shouting and criticizing the system is common, but several of their voices shout uncomfortably. I feel they criticize everything without proposing much beyond rebellion, partying, drinking and nothing more meaningful than what they’re criticizing themselves. I admit there are some beats that ended up being catchy, but I wouldn’t listen to them again. On the positive side, I’d say it was necessary for the exploration of blends and the opening of possibilities within hip hop and rock music. I understand it was pioneering but it falls short for me because of how little relevance it holds today in sonic terms.
I gave up halfway through
I never understood why Beastie Boys was ever a thing. I’m not going to try to figure it out now.
Konische, aggressive Mischung aus Rock und HipHop.
Lots of yelling
Not interested
When the Levy Breaks drum sample starting off got me going. The samples just got goofier as the album progressed though. I'm just not completely sold.
not my stuff
It's just some guys yelling over a drum machine and some lyrics are pretty weird.
Don't be a faggot
please stop screaming at me
I am no stranger to the Beastie Boys. Growing up, I received one of their albums, and back then, music was expensive and hard to come by. So I grew up listening to that album many times. As I grew older and found more music, I just stopped listening to them. Listening to this album, and recognizing several classics, I can safely say that I do not like the Beastie Boys. There is just so much more music to listen to, that this particular group no longer warrants any more of my time. May other albums as I come across them?
Bad
Could not get through it. Probably great and innovative for its time but it reminded me too much of Lazy Scranton by Michael Scott feat. Dwight K. Schrute.
They really know how to start with a bang! … As in, I want to bang my head against a brick wall because this sucks so much. I wish I could give zero stars.
boys go to jupiter to get more stupider
really cant stand when they make noises or anything else they could think of doing. Took me like 7 sets of listening to get through it
Certainly made me feel ill Fav song: Rhymin & Stealin because it samples the coolest Led Zeppelin song but other than that I fucking hate it
I am one more beastie boys album from saying white people should not be allowed to make music
Если начало ещё казалось кое-где слушабельным, то ближе к середине хотелось, чтобы скорее всё закончилось. До сих пор рэп мне кажется анти-музыкой. 1,5 из 10.
instant 1.
All I can say is thank god it's finished.
Well I'm not a 13 year old boy so this one did nothing for me
Ridiculous. They are literally just speaking rhymes; no sense of rhytm
Devastatingly monotonous.
Ugh. Ear poision.
Would rather listen to Kamikaze 1
aside from No Sleep Till Brooklyn, which I know from guitar hero, the beastie boys are really not my thing.
I don't know what this sounds like to the older generation. I just know that, to me, it sounds like sooooooo many white kids who think they're gonna gansta rap but trail off when one of the three black kids in school walk past. I know that they Matter, but it just sounds overprocessed and undercooked. I think it's one of the reasons it took me a while to actually like rap.
Ui die sind mer e stuufe z chaotisch und z luut, Hani ned so gnosse, Eis geschreie zrug
Cringey and it sucked
Aggressively and obnoxiously loud. Same as the previous album, beats are nice but vocals ruin it. 1
They have the odd good tunes but yet another entire album is too much, meh
mah
I detest this album. Admittedly not a big fan of hip-hop to begin with, now add on top a bunch of whiney sub-par cultural appropriators and take the one interesting thing about hip-hop - poetic lyricism - and remove it and replace it with brain-dead hair metal party anthem chants. You officially have created the worst musical abomination possible.
Para mí...una total y absoluta perdida de mi tiempo.
So much noise. Rap/rock? Some of the beats were pretty good though. I will get much sleep until Brooklyn.
Too hyper for me and didn’t enjoy some of the lyrics about women
I just really can’t stand their voices or the sound of their music.
*a noise album, not much singing, mostly yelling.
Cringe
Awful. Girls might be the worst song I've ever heard, laughably bad. Yeah, No Sleep Till Brooklyn and Fight for your Right are on here, but they're overplayed and I could not STAND them. Brass Monkey is super corny, too. Nothing else memorable. Glad to never have to listen to this album ever again.
This is an album one endures rather than listens to. And it feels like the same 20 seconds on loop, with occasional repeated references to Whitecastle. Not for me.
I am just not in to the Beastie Boys at all. This was grating to listen to and I did not finish it.
Loud and boring AND annoying hip hop noises. Hated it in 1986, hate it now.
Nope
The beasties I’ve never really got. I can see the concept rap/metal but it just doesn’t resonate very shouty not at all civil
* Definitely not one for me
I remember the release. It's a time capsule, not my preference though.
As batidas são excelentes, mas está no meio de algo muito irritante, deve ser os cantores.
No
And I thought they couldn’t get worse.
I don't care how creative the sampling is, the album still sounds like three annoying teenagers yelling at you for 45 minutes
I suppose I cant keep skipping out on these. Horrible stuff. If your playlists consist of 311, Blink-182, The Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Breaking Benjamin, etc etc., then I'm sure you love this too. .05 - 5
I’ve listened to Licensed to Ill more times than I care to admit, and no matter how many times I give it a chance, it just never resonates with me. Despite all the hype surrounding its groundbreaking status in hip-hop history, for me, this album is a chaotic jumble of shock value and juvenile antics that ultimately feels messy and unfulfilling. I’ll give credit where it’s due: the album does have a few redeeming qualities. There’s an undeniable raw energy to the production that captures the rebellious spirit of its era. A couple of tracks, like “Fight for Your Right,” have a catchy hook and an aggressive drive that might have appealed to the early hip-hop crowd. The beats are bold and, in some ways, innovative for its time. There’s also a sense of fun and unfiltered attitude in the delivery that, if you’re into that kind of over-the-top bravado, could be seen as a positive. For me, the overwhelming issue is that the album feels messy and disjointed from start to finish. The production is frantic and lacks finesse—layers of noise and samples are piled on top of each other in a way that feels haphazard rather than innovative. This chaotic mix often results in a muddled sound where nothing really stands out or gives a sense of purpose. Lyrically, the album comes across as immature and overly reliant on crude humour. The shock value that some critics applaud feels forced and repetitive, and the vulgarity doesn’t translate into any real substance or cleverness for me. Instead of offering insightful commentary or artistry, the words seem designed solely to offend or provoke without any meaningful payoff. Moreover, I find the overall attitude and delivery to be grating. The aggressive posturing and abrasive vocal style—intended to be rebellious—simply come off as contrived and tiresome. There’s a sense that every song is trying too hard to be edgy, resulting in awkward moments where the intended cool factor evaporates into irritation. Licensed to Ill is a prime example of an album that’s all hype and little substance. Sure, it has a few moments of raw energy and catchy hooks, but overall it’s a messy, awkward, and juvenile collection that I just can’t get behind. Despite its cultural impact, it simply doesn’t work for me. At 1/5 stars this album did nothing for me beyond a fleeting burst of controversy that quickly faded into forgettable noise.
Rubbish
Pas pour moi
This album is American in the worst possible way. The lyrics prove that Beastie Boys knew their main listenership was 14 year old boys with undiagnosed ADHD. I can imagine the first impractical joker to get a car rang the other impractical jokers to ask if they wanted to blast this album while driving round the block. This shaved at least 1 day off my life expectancy. …. I decided to google them to see what they looked like. Don’t do that please, it’s not worth it. Standout track: - Fight For Your Right (barely tolerable)
Utter shite. Can't even be arsed to listen after the first 30 seconds
This is just not my kind of music.
Not great. Made the car journey feel longer. Hamilton reference?
They sure do talk about shooting people a lot. Despite them…definitely never shooting anyone. Hey why wasn’t there outrage about this and instead only when gangster rappers did it. You’re allowed to say this has aged really badly folks. The Boys get better with age. This is so obnoxious in a way that absolutely would have hooked the kids. This is the 80s Limp Bizkit and most of you are too scared to admit that. Also it’s been a while, time to break out the “This classic artist just admitted to being a pedophile” penalty! I get it’s PROBABLY (hopefully) meant to call out Jimmy Page. But like. That’s the grounds for comparison. He doesn’t say I’m like Jimmy Page EXCEPT I like girls of age, no no, he says that’s a point of comparison. You lose a star. Hey look you can compare that to Kid Rock! It’s almost like it’s THE SAME THING YOU'RE ALL SO DUMB. Fuck you 1 star. No Sleep is good all the rest sucks. I gave Ill Communication 4 stars, this is fucking embarrassing. It sounds like shit.
hier kan ik echt he le maal niks mee
Hip hop is the US trash, garbage and rubish. A piece of shit. And culture irrelevant.
Fav: Fight For Your Right Least Fav: Girls Very disappointed with this one, nowhere near as good as my previous Beastie Boys album. Songs like ‘Girls’ left me in disbelief that people thought that it was good enough to include on the album. Fight For Your Right is a great song but the gap in quality between that and the rest of the album is huge
So bad, really annoying
I could maybe do one of these tracks - Fight for Your Right or No Sleep - on a playlist as a fun throw back. A whole album of this shit is honestly so much worse than I expected. Anything redeeming I would have to say about it is offset by how mad I am I listened to this whole thing.
Hell na
Genuinely hard to listen through. Sloppy production, lyrics that come across as juvenile and outdated, and a vocalist that is nasal and grating. Newsflash: for something to be a good parody, you need to be able to tell if it's a parody. This feels like it was written in earnest and then they tried to say 'we were just joking!' once they received backlash. I was cringing out of my skin listening through this. Really severely hated it. Music for middle school boys.
I just couldn't listen.
Oi, that was pretty kak.
Favourite songs: none
Rock, RAP, 1986 -> 1
Nope. Not my genre
Nicht meine Richtung
Would it kill these idiots to not shout at me for about 5 minutes.
Not my type of music tbh :/ Just listened to 2 before giving up unfortunately
Not my thing. I am not an angry teenage boy
Music for Beavis and Butthead. An album you must hear while you're still an adolescent so I guess that qualifies as "before you die." Most of it is a natural progression from the grade school, "DIck and Jane, sitting in a tree...." A drum machine, a few samples, and guys yelling does not music make. There are a few redeeming things. There is a sense of humor about them. Some of it is self deprecating and makes them seem self-aware. Girl is fun. Fight for your Right... is an anthem. And Brass Monkey is interesting. 1.4
Yeah nah. “Fight for your right…” is a fun curiosity, but the rest is just yelling over beats and the occasional riff. I’d much rather listen to the original songs from which some of these samples came from. Sorry, gotta go swallow a Panadol or two.
Bloody hell that was painful. Absolutely shit from start to finish. Can we give 0 stars?
A *third* album from Beastie Boys......? WTAF are you playing at, List. I have a pavement to jet wash so I'll listen to this at the same time. The jet washing will provide a better soundtrack & way more spiritual nourishment.
She's crafty Run DMC en moins bien et plus rock. Très répétitif.
From the shouting to the stealing, I found this unenjoyable in every way. Not my kind of party.
Not my cup of tea. I enjoyed some of their later material. I could listen to Sabotage on repeat all day long.
This was so hard to get through that I just stopped listening to these albums for several days. It's like a parody of itself. This is so dumb.
Even their good songs are bad. I don't Wana think about the bestie boys for a little while
[explitive deleted], my 2nd Beastie Boys album in a week. Oh my, how clever they are with the “punny” album title. And bough tough and manly with the “daring” 3MTA3 in the middle of the cover. Sheesh. However, I was an actual grown-up when this album was released, and the hit “Fight for Your Right” struck me as an infantile bit of drivel. That had been the only song of theirs I’d (knowingly) heard before being subjected to them a few days ago. So it is with really low expectations that I dive into this.well, this sucks as bad as I expected. It’s all a bit mind-numbing, which dulls the pain, at least. I wish I could give this 0 stars, but 1 is as low as it’ll go.
I find myself a bit ill-equipped to really judge this. The hits are familiar territory, of course, but I was never hugely into them. In fairness, it's easy to appreciate that this was groundbreaking, mixing rock riffs and rap, all produced by Rick Rubin, no less. And it hasn't aged as badly as a lot of other 80s stuff. Some clever lyrics at times as well. That said, there's a lot of cringey stuff there, too, and the constant shouting voice and persona get old really quickly. Lastly, Fight for your right doesn't get any less obnoxious with time.
ég er mesti beasti boys haterinn, þetta er eitthvað skibidi toilet síns tíma
Their stuff (some) is good for working out to I guess. Shouting same part vox isn’t my thing. Drums are fun. Nothing else here for me.
I know they were one of the firsts to introduce showing into music, but I couldn't like them no matter how hard I tried.
Det här kan bli kul! Det blev det inte. Det är töntigt. Kraftig vit dude som dricker öl och röker weed vibe. Fight For Your Right är inte bra. Jag är inte impad över varken text, rap eller produktion. Jag lyssnar inte mycket på Hip Hop men det här är i min mening inte bra. Segt och trist. Jag är besviken.
Not my genre. Numerous songs not heard due to explicit lyrics which I choose not to listen.
unseliges Gebrüll
nein --- einfach nein
Listening to them sing about girls turned me asexual.
I dunno, I never really got into Beastie Boys. Just too much shouting. Nothing about this relisten changed my mind. A lot of people love them, but I just can't wrap my head around it.
Unlistenable
no.(.
Don't love the whole shouting thing
lots of shouting, I can see the need for angry music like this, I think they appeal to a younger generation. Not me though
Godsamme, ik ben gewoon echt echt echt geen fan van de Beastie Boys... De combi tussen punk, rock en hiphop werkt voor mij niet, waarom zou je punk enzo bij hiphop voegen? Is toch nergens voor nodig? Je maakt alleen maar hiphop minder vet... Vind het geschreeuw van de Beastie's gewoon niet vet. Dit album is wel beter dan Paul's Boutique, dat vond ik gewoon helemaal niets... Ik irriteer me gewoon echt aan deze gasten Fight for your right is wel ok I guess, maar ook niet fantastisch. Moet zeggen dat ik er op terug kom, dit album is zeker niet beter dan Paul's Boutique. Het is net zo kut. Ik hoop oprecht dat dit het laatste beastie boys album is zeg. Mijn favo nummer is Slow Ride, omdat daar een lekker sampletje in zit. Ik kan niet meer naar een stel zeikerige gasten luisteren die opscheppen over hoeveel sex ze hebben. FAVO:
Not a fan…sorry/not sorry… not into rap music in general… just not my style…I had to give it 1 star to vote. In truth I would give it Zero stars… if I want “nails on the chaulk board” perhaps but that is annoyingly Awful and hurts my eardrums which start to bleed after just the few seconds of this ….
awful
I didn't like anything about this
A bit conflicted with this; on the one hand it’s shouty, a tad one note and the casual misogyny hasn’t aged well. On the other hand, Fight For Your Right is an absolute BANGER.
No. Just no.
Scream rapping white 80s’ people are not my type for music at all, but you have to appreciate their desire to steal my nonexistent girlfriend.(Written in Valentines Day)
More metal, less funk, same belligerence as was to come. Loved it at the time but a bit one note now and probably hasn’t aged great
I do not have time for this... I listened all the album... But I hope I don't have to listen to another one.
Not for me. It's interesting if you like this style of music.
You gotta fight! For your right! To paaaaaaaar- tay! Yeah, I good-mommed it by letting my kids holler this one out in the backseat way back when. NOT going back there. 😑
Very irritating. All sounds the same.
+Instrumental HipHop +I can definetly see the influences on modern music/especially late 90s -same rhythms repeating throughout the album, same vibe all over -lyrically not pleasing Overall, I can see the influence this Album must have had, while at the time stepping outside the norm but on todays standards it is lacking.
Dude gets kicks out of out shouting into the mic, but not even in an interesting way. Music for people who don't like music. I suspect there's a high degree of nostalgia with this one.
This was awful wish I could have put zero stars. Was going to bump it to two stars for the White Castle references but then there was one to many. So now it's back to 1 star.
they sure do make noise really don't like their language about women all of the songs sound the same
Sooooo angry
The worst thing that ever happened to music
can't stand this shout rap
If someone asked me what a bunch of middle class white kids from the suburbs would sound like if they started a rap group after their parents told them to follow their dreams, this is it. This man just said “the girlies I like are underage”. This is not good. This group is really awful sounding. However I see the age group they were targeting with this music. I’m not into high school and college parties anymore. That’s where I would imagine this being played. But… I would be embarrassed to share this music with another culture even though it screams American music. In addition to the lyrics being trash, the beats could be used as a method of torture played for hours to get prisoners to confess war crimes. The melody from “Girls” makes me feel like I’m going insane. I really felt I was at a talent show for 12 year olds with how lame this music was. You have to be intoxicated to find this enjoyable. I cannot recommend it to anyone. It’s albums like these that make me regret agreeing to do this challenge. I know how popular this album is amongst most everyone else, I just don’t know how. 1/10
Judging this as music, it’s not. Judging this as a really long meme, it’s a masterpiece. If I wanted to be yelled at by white boys, I would just hop into The Chunts discord. This awakened memories of my mother listening to this album and child me instantly leaving the room to not have to endure it anymore. I guess I forgot that I absolutely hate the Beastiality Boys. If you want to give yourself a headache this is probably the best and fastest way to do so. 2/10 Music (One point for Brass Monkey) 10/10 Joke
no
i really don't want to hate this but i hate the Beastie Boys but this is what white boy angst rap should sound like forever. Rhymin & Stealin - :| (Fish-eye lens by Strongbad is literally a beastie boys parody. holy shit that is so funny. 2/5 this is so slow please bring energy that isn't just yelling from the back of a room at a microphone) The New Style - DJ KHALID?? it's very early 90s rap. I have never not ever decided to rap/ take that skill from me? nah that's cap. Homie I'm here to stay/ Can't make me go away (WAY)! oh man i was gonna do a bit to prove that it's not hard to be a beastie boy but then i read the lyrics. Due to previous albums this is getting a one and I will not be finishing it.
Oof those voices. No thanks.
Not my style. Certainly a very important album for musical development, but not comfortable or exciting to listen to, personally.
Pass
lol
Waa c'est pas bien, ça a mal vielli, le less is more de rick rubin fait mal quand la production est si peu travaillée en terme de sound design, les vieux sons ont trop mal vielli, le rap aussi malheureusement. Les albums qui suivent sont bien meilleurs pour sûr
Glad it was on the list but will probably never Lito it again. Do they use the same beat for every rap?
No :D
absolutely unbearable
Again not my genre..
Some guys shout a lot over sampled sections from classic songs and a simple beat. Dull.
Awful. Don’t understand how they were popular at one time.
Beastie boys suck!
Not great
stop yelling at me
God rap music suuuuuucks Why do hip hop beats always have to sound so terrible? Whether it’s mordant hip hop or old school they almost always sound so annoying
One good track, twelve not my type of stuff.
Thank you, next.
I think it’s completely insufferable to listen to in one sitting. The samples feel pretty cheesy today, and the vocals are grating.
girls is maybe the worst song i have ever heard no sleep till brooklyn is the only good song this is music for 14 year old white boys in the 80s, has not aged well
Maybe the worst Beastie's album. Very juvenile in humor and appeal. 1.5/5
One famous, over-rated, over-played track and the rest are not even average.
How nice for them.
The beastie boys have a cool sound for a time and place, but damn this album is just grossly immature. I just can’t get past the smash your neighbor’s property fuckboy-ness of it. I mean, girls? The song is awful. All this album ends up making me do is remember all those asshat dudes when I was younger who made their whole personalities about “fucking shit up” and misogyny. Give me some beastie boys after they grow up, until then, no thanks.
No Sleep till Brooklyn is great, but a whole album of very similar songs became a little bit too much.
I wouldn't exactly call this music
unlistenable
possibly the worst wannabe rap band in the world. Misappropriation. Hate these shouty loud mouth pricks. That’s my review. No stars. They can all die.
Encore un album inconnu !!! Je suis peu intéressé généralement par les groupes américains... Dont la musique est loin de la culture européenne et, trop souvent, obsédé par la réussite (rock fm, ...)... Mais je vais jeter une oreille sur spotify pour voter en connaissance de cause... Bye
Awful.
This album is really bad. Painful to listen to. Very, very juvenile. I feel like many of the positive reviews are blinded by nostalgia, because listening to this album in 2022 actually sucks. This record embodies everything I hate - annoying, frat rap. Not to mention it is extremely dated. Even 14 year old me would’ve hated this.
Yeah, I know yall are gonna have lazy lobs on for this, but I don't care.
slow ride= sample from Low Rider - War The New Style / She’s Crafty ~ bits on Carousel- Travis Scott?
Thanks I hate it.
did not like at all
Meh, definitely not my favorite.
Overall 2/10
Stellenweise unerträglich. Ganz schlecht gealtert, auch die Singles.
One of the worst things I have ever heard
These days I'm not the type who would be labelled "woke" and I expect I was less politically correct in 1986. Still, I would not have floated the original album title. I don't get it. Stories like this dilute whatever positive impressions I had for these guys and I didn't have that many positive ones to start with.
Wow, this is so absolutely horrible. Some of the instrumentation and samples seem like they could be nice, if they weren't the background for some of the most annoying rap I've ever heard.
The polar opposite of my thing. I don't mind the bit where it goes 'No sleep till. *guitars* Brooklyn' but the rest is a big no.
I don't know why this album was included over other Beastie Boys albums. Not their best in my opinion.
Some of their later stuff is a bit more interesting to me, but this album, not so much. I get the schtick: party boys gone wild and all that, kind of mocking themselves, or whatnot. I found it either innocuous or boring most of the way through. Maybe if I had listened to them when this debuted, which was during my early college years (heaviest partying time of my life), I'd enjoy the nostalgia, but I missed them when they first emerged -- only song I ever heard back then was Fight For Your Right To Party, and that annoyed me back then -- so there's not the same connection I might have with other music of the mid-80s.
More musical than I expected.. Just too US shout.
The whole album is kind of corny. There's a real proto-rap feel to it that I don't like. Compared to more contemporary music, it has a stale, repetitive sound. Words words words words words WORDS WORDS for each bar.
Really?
The word that came to mind as I listened to this album was "juvenile". Which, yes, is an oversimplification; but the mental image I was left with was of a group of kids who broke into a studio at night and made it to the recording booth—which they never expected to pull off, and thus didn't have a plan when they actually made it that far. Maybe this would have landed if I'd heard it when I was 14 or so, but that only furthers my point. Now, some people will be quick to point out that the tone was intended to be farcical or done as parody; but comedy as an art form can be hit-and-miss, and it ages very quickly—parody doubly so. In the end, any brilliance in the mashup of genres or talent in sampling is vastly overshadowed by unimpressive-at-best lyrics that grow grating through the constant shouting.
.... Are all of these songs about how much sex they are having? This could not be less interesting or fun to listen to.
I mean I want to like it. I just don't. Actual trash actually. They ate the two genres of rap and rock and shat out this album. It's so weirdly uncreative.
I’m double vaxxed against it.
This just isn't my genre and there's nothing here to change my mind. This album consists of little but stolen beats, juvenile attitudes and nasal whining. There are a couple of BB songs that I like, but not on this album.
Bis auf Fight for your right unhörbar
Niet m'n style, kan het wel waarderen voor wat het is
Nope.

Did not like this at all, no melodies, all just yelling, not my cup of tea at all
