6 Years in the waitin...and...
...this is all they've to offer?
I've waited this long for the Beastie Boys' new record...and the very least King Adrock, MCA and Mike D could do was come up with somethin feasible and worth listenin to...it's a far cry from their kooky and eclectic sounds-samplin Paul's Boutique days...not that im complainin bout old school rap...listenin to 5 Boroughs was like buyin a first class ticket back to Licensed to Ill...minus the chutzpah...
The Boys should take this album and shove it up the White House's ass...in the process of overdoin themselves i realise they're usin 5 Boroughs as some kind of propoganda bedlam...there's just too much political overtones...too much to ignore...but too little for fans out there...
And what happened to their signature sound? Where're the In Sound from the Way Out grooves? Dark beats of Ill Communication? Anti-Bush is fine...but when almost every song sounds the same...the Boys reowned word play just takes a side seat...
Im gona have a 'lil difficulty digestin the Boys' latest dish...serously...im really quite disappointed...it'll take awhile for me to get past my gripes...
