You Might Want To...

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Some tracks take a while to get into

Seen as a return album, “Check Your Had” came out in 1992 as the third album from The Beastie Boys. The New Yorkers, consisting of the three MCs Ad-Rock, MCA and Mike D, were seen to return (off the back of two classic records) to return from two pure Hip Hop releases to move on stylistically to their roots in Punk Rock, whilst still holding on to both the Hip hop elements and also pulling in other ones such as Jazz too. 1. “Jimmy James” They kick ...
...as the first track to the album as it seems to effectively lead on from the killer Hip Hop offering that was “Pal’ Boutique” and so with this one you fin that as they get down to things, they keep things the way that they have been known well for with the first two albums as they come with some straight, underground Hip Hop and here come in strong with a raw Jimi Hendrix tribute. **Five Stars** 2. “Funky Boss” (Lude) 3. “Pass The Mic” After an interlude ...

Jamie T - Panic Prevention

Advantages: Alternative, exciting new music
Disadvantages: A bit 'different' for some

...- a man speaking about panic attacks?! Interesting… "Back In The Game" is a top tune. Personally, I'd love to see it released as a single. Part of the reason being that, as mentioned at the beginning of proceedings, it's just him and his bass guitar - so basic, yet so like how music of this style should be. The song after this, "Operation" begins so differently, it would be easy to think it's by someone totally different, but then again this shows ...
...unique as possible. The use of just a chant over a drumbeat in the chorus is so catchy it should be illegal…just. His sound in each song may be extravagantly differently, but his style remains the same. The likeness of the love child of the Street and Arctic Monkeys is become more and more evident. Halfway through this one, it could just as easily be Alex Turner of the Monkeys singing to you. Rather odd considering ones from Sheffield and the other ...

...have a soothing tune from the act as they bring forward something that al are bound to find familiar and one that enables them to bring forward the Soul end of their music to show just how they are able to transform a tune that all know by giving it a spin that suits the direction of their music and what they had brought with the two other album from 1970. **Four Stars** 2.“Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” As things move on we are brought to a track ...
