Hello Nasty - Beastie Boys (The)

The Beasties focus their attention once more on hip-hop in their 5th LP "Hello Nasty". Stretching to 22 songs lasting a total of 67 minutes, this album has many highs and a few lows. It's a polished effort and very easy for new fans to get into. The most recognisable track is of course "Intergalactic", thanks to extensive play on radio and MTV, and it's a great song (check out the fantastic video as well!). However, "Three MC's and One DJ" is even ...
...off on the decks. MMM is on prime form throughout "Hello Nasty", his first album with the Beasties. His beats make a perfect backdrop for the trio's highly entertaining rap, in particular Adrock's characteristic 'whine'. The stand-out old skool tracks also include "Unite", "Super Disco Breakin'" and "The Move". Among the more instrumental tracks, the Latin-flavoured "I Don't Know" is breath-takingly beautiful. The bonus CD contains the cool remix ...

Review of Hello Nasty - Beastie Boys (The)

Hypocrites? The Beastie Boys, famous in the '80s for putting girls in cages, now famous in the '90s for asking The Prodigy not to play 'Smack My B**** Up'. However, I'm reviewing their album not their politics, and what a pleasure this is! You might have thought that the Beasties would have run out of ideas by now, but fear not. 'Hello Nasty' is an album bursting with imagination and humour. Standout tracks are the two singles, and the collaboration ...

...experimental tracks. This is where Hello Nasty is let down. It has some very weak tracks, like "Dedication" which is just plain weird. But, if you have heard the beastie boys on the radio and think that the song is a good one, then i heartily suggest that you buy this album. A good purchase. ...

...were due a good album. Hello Nasty delivers this need. 22 tracks long, this album adds to the long line of "up and down" albums and EP's released by the bend over some 15 years. Some of the songs on here are of very high quality. Stand out tracks include Super Disco Breakin', Intergerlactic, and Electrify. All tracks have a certain quality about them, even without the boys' vocals on some of them. But there are a few tracks which are not so hot, ...
