I just finished listening to it straight through...And well...Hmmm, how can I put this, its not too impressive. Does anyone know if it was Mix Master Mike that did the beats for this album?
Anyone else heard it yet?...

This album is so unbelievably shit!
most of the beats/lyrics sound like shitty local rap groups that used to consign cds at a record store i used to work at.
pathetic.

I really like it.
MCA's voice has matured nicely.

Self produced album, so I guess the 3 beasties did the beats. No mention of MMM in the bits of info i've read. Kind of into the new one but the track is so basic (how many times can you use a generic stab) its hard to get enthusiastic about it.
I love the beasties though so I hope the album will have some good stuff on it.
Which are the better tracks on the album? in yer opinion

Maybe I am being quick in judgement, I have only given it one good listen, but as far as the beats and all, Even Hello Nasty whooped these...
They should have never got rid of DJ Hurricane...

I heard about 2 songs. Skimmed over about 5 more.. then got very depressed. Disappointing to say the least. I would've thought they would've done more rock stuff and less rap stuff, which, considering their age was much less embarrassing.

1) MCA's voice is practically gone... it sounds like he has emphysema.
2) the beastie boys "self produced" most of hello nasty and that was much better.
they may be to old and to white for hip hop

I liked
3 the hard way - Track 3 Triple Trouble - Track 6 and I guess
Shazam - Track 11
But even those ones didnt really make an impact. I mean theres no instruments played let alone no mellow instrumentals.

Just dissapointing...I read its supposed to be a strictly NYC dedicated album...hence why there is all old school beats and no real live playing.

i really don't care if it's all rhodes, wah guitar, bongos, violins, guitars, computers, whatever.
bad music is bad music. these songs wouldn't be better on live instruments, and i think most people were done with the instrumental jams after ill communication

"self produced"? does this mean that mario caldato jr. did nothing on the album? he's the man behind the sound of many BB albums, just check his Biography. If this is the case that's explain why "ch-check io out" sounds so "basic" and uninspired.

Sounds samey, uninspired and dull like an amateur demo or something, it's nothing like their other releases. At first I was hoping to have downloaded a fake version like I had with the roots' "the tipping point", but it wasn't. :\

well they said themselves that they would make hip hop like it was made 10 years ago. and in a way they are doing something original if you would compare it to the dull meaningless gangstarap.

Anytime anyone mentions this album I have to immediately go and play it from begining to end (which can be inconvenient). My fave is "All lifestyles", specially when Mike D goes "Bagel from Bob and a TV dinner", sigh, *winsome look*
