Beastie Boys
Ch-Check It Out

It's MCA with the grey hair, durr.

hahaha.

i actually think this is more of a return to form than hello nasty ever was. intergallactic is the track you skip on an album because it was such an annoying single.

ill communication is my favourite beasties album, i hope the new record will be just as good.

you're on the money there.
intergalactic was bobbins.
i liked the new single right away, it's pretty good but then i thought how incredible check your head and ill communication were and realised that the b-boys are still a long way from their previous heights.

Intergalactics cover is one of the best ever.That hamster is the biz.

yes...but full marks for the front cover

Well, granted it is a bit of a formulaic hip-hop song, i like, and clearly the whole album won't be like it, one of the great things about the last few beastie albums was the variety of styles. I think it's just a bit of a teaser, not giving too much away about the album's sound. And it's good to hear something a bit old school and vaguely good to compare to the ringtone hip-hop and egotistical whinings of the likes of Usher. The sooner his house falls the better

Dunno about the relative artistic merits of the song, I just really like the mouse on the front cover.

I've hung tough with the B-Boys since the get-go, and I gotta say, they need to make it a bit more abstract. The rhymes are a LOT more cobbled together than they used to be, and the diversity of the grooves has diminished GREATLY since Paul's. They seem to be resting on their laurels lately, and despite having COLOSSAL laurels, this record should have been much deeper, given the fact that they had---- what----- 5 years to work on it? I'll take Cool Keith any day, at this point... he's just so much.... well, ILLER.

On a side note: I used to rely on MIKE D as sort of an obscure-70's-culture historian, and I used to count on him tossin' cool throwback references to stuff I recall as a kid, but yo..... He dropped the ball with a line on this new album... (I'm paraphrasing here), "And jus' like Fred Sanford, 'I'm comin' Weezie!'" He's obviously referring to Fred's cry to his deceased wife, as he suffers an imagined heart-attack, but Mike....any fool knows that Fred Sanford's wife was named ELIZABETH, and it's George JEFFERSON'S wife that's called Weezie. Yo' Mike.... how could you let that slip through the editing process!?!?!?

I have never liked their squawking spoilt middle class boy hip-hop, but this song is particularly uninspiring, dated tripe.
Mah! Mah! I can't find my car keys! Mah! Where's my dinner?!

No it's not.
Don't be silly.

the album is surprisingly great though. :)

what?this song is ace!i love it!
