I've heard most of these songs either individually or on other albums (compilations, soundtracks), but never this album on its own in its entirety, I don't think. I like it as a whole; I think the era of Check Your Head and Ill Communication was when the Beastie's were the most on my radar, and I kind of lost interest around Hello Nasty. This album has a rougher production feel than any of those, even rougher than License to Ill. I liked most of the songs and the overall production (I can tell my headphones are not doing the ridiculous amount of bass justice, lol).

Listened to this for the /mu/ list a while back. It was fine, and definitely better than the first album. 3/5

I prefer the funky instrumentals from Check Your Head and Ill Communication, but this is still excellent, a brilliant use of sampling throughout and a worthwhile evolution from their legendary first LP. Definitely essential. B+
