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.
Blehh
Not for me
Did not like this at all, no melodies, all just yelling, not my cup of tea at all
NO SLEEP TIL... BROOKLYN
não é meu estilo...
