"Good people, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, the "clean" version of our new album, The Hot Sauce Committee pt 2 has leaked. So as a hostile and retaliatory measure with great hubris we are making the full explicit aka filthy dirty nasty version available for streaming on our new site. We hope this brings much happiness, hugs, and harmony. Enjoy Kikoos for life!"
Similar in vein to the Foo Fighters leak a few weeks ago, the Beastie Boys are fully embracing new media.

You are weird. "Ill Communication" is great. The correct cut-off point is "Hello Nasty," which is stupid and awful.

I feel the same about Hot Sauce as I do about their last album*: a couple of gems with a bunch of regular normal raptime filler. I don't think they've had an album that works as a coherent whole since Hello Nasty.
* And by last album I mean 5 Boroughs; rumors of some kind of non-compilation instrumental album are just that--vicious, baseless rumors.

WHAT. Hello Nasty contains some of their best work. Yeah it's not Paul's or like any of their earlier work, but why would you want to listen to the same stuff over and over again? Hello Nasty is old school in the new millennium.
And the first 7 songs of Ill Communication is one of the best examples of masterful album arrangement since the first 6 songs of Siamese Dream. COME ON

I'm definitely in the camp of those who were happy through Hello Nasty. The 5 Burroughs album wasn't bad, per se, just completely boring. They have nothing to prove to me, so I'm not even sure I'm happy to hear about another BB album...it seems more of an opportunity to dilute their legacy. I mean, even on Hello Nasty you could tell that they Boys are no longer boys, and affectations of boyishness seem increasingly forced.

After just one listen, and as the mayor of the Altered State of Druggachussetts, I deem the new Beastie Boys to be ...Awesome.
It's like the funkier, deeper tracks on Ill Communication and less of the old-school bombast stuff that made Boroughs kinda boring and much grimier and more textured.
It's not a massive departure but it still feels like a confident step out of the box a bit for them.

I remember being at a party in high school when it had just come out. The host had it in the CD player all night but anytime it got more than a track or two past Intergalactic this particularly annoying ditzy girl would say how much she loved that song and just had to hear it again, so immediately one of the many boys trying to impress her would run over and skip back to it again.
Thus, I became forever convinced that Hello Nasty is just that one song on repeat. Stupid and awful indeed, but perhaps it's been long enough since that dark night that I should give it another chance.

Hello Nasty was a creative return to form (with innovation!) after Ill Communication. They dropped back the live instrumentation and brought on a turntablist DJ. I don't understand hate on that album.

For me (on Chrome) the speaker isn't anywhere near the waveform. It's waaaaaaaaay up at the very top right corner of the page, next to the gray bar -- "App Gallery | Get help | Try Premium | What's new?" -- that stuff. Presumably it's there because that's the last place you'd ever look and volume adjustment costs a website crazy money.

Your favorite band -- and I am in agreement with you that they are unquestionably an excellent performing act with few, if any, flaws -- sucks because of something they did which I like less than you like. And you should feel bad because you claim they suck because of something they did which you like less than I like.

"Party for the motherfuckin' right to fight" is a brilliant lyrical inversion, and I'm kind of jealous I didn't think of it myself.
Public Enemy thought of it a while ago... it's kind of awesome to see the interplay between them and the Beasties in the late 80s, Paul's Boutique/Nation of Millions era.

And FTR, I loved Ill Communication. And Hello Nasty was good, but if you were anywhere near the breaks scene in the 90s you can't get near it for fear that you'll hear Body Movin', which was the first song ever to achieve the feat of being remixed by every single person ever.
