Music : The Sounds of Scienceby: The Beastie Boys
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: In the Jewish religion, it's traditional for males to get Bar Mitzvah-ed--to undergo the ceremony of adulthood--at age 13. Judging them by that standard, for one, the Beastie Boys are ahead of the game; between 1986's Licensed to Ill and 1999's hits package The Sounds of Science, the Beasties have matured from attention-starved brats to insightful, funky trend-setting brats with an ace record collection and top choice in collaborators. And by staying in tune with their inner children, the Boys have also managed to not drop off in fervour as they've continued to push their boundaries: How many other hip-hop/rock groups would be able to put songs as different as the hardcore 'Egg Raid on Mojo' and the jazzed-out instrumental 'Sabrosa' on the same collection? And a slightly deranged take on Elton John's 'Benny & the Jets'? At a hefty 42 tracks, this collection has something for everyone--and manages not to skimp on the hits or pad them with filler. Though it would serve well as an introduction, The Sound of Science is even better as a companion. --Randy Silver Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - The best of the boys !!If you only buy 1 Beastie Boys album this has to be it...Full of the old school hip hop with some excellent classics. Fight for your right, No sleep till brooklyn are amoung the classics on this great double album. Rating: - Diverse but classFight for your right to party! they've not had many studio albums over their 18yr period but they've dabbled in many genres, bringing their NY hiphop funk to them all. This CD give u shed load of tracks for your money and plenty to nod ya head to whilst in your car. Volkswagen medallion optional. Rating: - A must have for a complete music libaryAlthough I am not into hip-hop and all sorts a like. This album is a really good addition to any music libary. It has all the classics and is just a great cd to have for those times that you are in the mood for this kind of music. (If you are not a regular listener to this). A great buy and with 42 tracks on one album you are sure getting the whole overview. A great buy. Rating: - Eminem take note - this is how to build a hip-hop careerAcross this 42 track collection, those white-boy nutcases show us how much evolution there has been in their career. Those early hits like Fight For Your Right lack sophistocation,a dn the early pre-fame tracks even more so, but the energy and exhuberance is a thrill to hear. Not including either Girls or She's Crafty is something of a strange decision though - it smacks of trying to airbrush out their misogynistic aspects and promote the mature social-conscience Tibet-supporting trio of today. Read More Rating: - One of the best, multifaceted albums I have heardI consider this to be one of the best rock and roll albums I have ever heard. On it, The Beastie Boys, generally known more for their early eigthies, pre-pubescent stage partying, show that they have incredible talent. You will find everything on this album you could ever want: ass-kicking rock with an incredibly cool baseline on down to smooth, subtle bossanova sounds. Awesome. Just buy it.
