Beastie Boys
2/5
Maybe its just not for me, it all just feels one note and tired. I got excited when one track started with a Curtis Mayfield riff and then I ended up just wishing I was listening to that album instead.

A forest is of course the most recognisable track, but a good moody second album.
Love the story that The Final Sound is so short because the tape ran out.
