Great opening song.
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.
A reasonably good bar band who's outsized success is a testament to the power of formulaic bullshit when it comes to opening the wallets of people with little understanding of authentic rock and roll.
Not Es best, but palatable.
