Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
The joke of Licensed to Ill's cover--that the Beasties could crash their jet into the side of a mountain and keep on tickin'--serves as a good metaphor for a career that even some of their 1986 admirers thought might be over after the one-time-only shock of this full-length debut. That thousands of funk-junkie wannabes have since failed at re-creating its groove, breaking-the-law vibe, and ear-splitting mix of rock and rap is an even better joke. And funniest of all is the record itself, which packs aural puns and lots and lots of yelling into an album that can still be listened to with as much pleasure as it gave in 1986. --Rickey Wright

- A TIMELESS AND AGELESS CLASSIC!What more needs to be said about what is probably one of the top five, perhaps top three rap albums of all time. It's just packed to bursting point with beats and ryhmes that are as "FRESH" today as they were twenty odd years ago. If you have any respect for classic old school rap you have to own this album!

- wowgetting older but never tired, this album of 13 tracks has nearly 13 styles on it displaying a range of sounds and rhythms. this album still makes me laugh and remains one of my all time favourites. if you don't own it, then buy it today. if only to hear 'she's crafty". thanks beastie boys.

- Still awsome but showing signs of ageingAlthough this was the first Beastie Boys recording I really listened to, I only heard it for the first time in 2003. I was born the year after this recording was made and it beggars belief that a band like this could ever last until the present day.
Initially, I was put off by the whiney-nazel voices I was hearing, but the Beastie Boys is as much about just listening (or deciphering) the lyrics as it is about the music. The offbeat lyrics remind me a little of Beck, just because they can be ... Read More

- Still licensed still brass monkeyedI remember buying this on vinyl when i was 16. Run DMC and Public Enemy were mashing things up when this hit my record deck.
My stepdad banned me from playing it in the house, due to all the media crap when they arrived in the uk with Run DMC. when they were out shopping Friday night though the whole street was rocking to tracks like Brass Monkey, No Sleep till Brooklyn and paul Revere. Inspiring stuff this album and even though they were dismissed as a joke band they are more hip hop today ... Read More

- Raw and Nasty, as it should beTo say that this was a defining album in the history of rap would be an understatement. I remember buying the original vinyl LP as a 16 year old, putting it on the turntable and being completely blown away. The mix of metal, funk and heavy drum tracks throughout was very original and coupled with them being one of the only white rappers around made them stand out from the crowd. Tracks such as the new style, hold it now hit it, she's crafty and no sleep till Brooklyn come to epitomise exactly what ... Read More
