"New Beastie Boys, anyone?"

Anyone pick up To The Five Boroughs today? Got mine from Play this morning so I've had it to listen to on the bus and that. Heard it almost through three times now, and I'm loving it. After the first listen I wasn't too impressed, but second time round it had started to grow on me.

Opinions?
Favourite songs?

Have to say that damn Mike D has got me wanting to buy some more stuff he's wearing in a video. First it was that yellow suit and hat with the green feather in it from Hello Ladies, then those clothes from the Alive video, now i want both the white suit and those huge headphones from the Ch-Check it out video for some reason.

Played a through for a second time, enjoyed it a lot more than I did the first. Still think I'd be best off finding Hello Nasty, but it's still a great little album.

What you talking about Willis?
Who's the illest?
You know my name is Adam
Stop calling me Phyllis

Genius.

It's a good album, i'm glad they went with the Hip Hop Style instead of the rock they were threatening to go with (Check Your Head is probably my least favourite album)

Not in the same league as Paul's Boutique but then i doubt they'll ever be able to top that but it's a decent enough album, not too sure if waiting for 4 years was worth it though.

My favourite songs being An Open Letter To NYC, took me back to my days in the big apple and Brooklyn and Ch-Ch-Check it out.

Now I go by the name of the king Adrock
I don't wear a cup nor a jock
I bring the sh#t that's beyond bizarre
Like Miss Piggy (who moi?)
I am the one with the clientele
They say Adrock you rock so well
I got class like pink champale
MCA grab the mic before the mic goes stale

Hmm, listened to most of it and not sure if I like it yet. There are a few good songs, but it isn't classic Beasties.

Just got it, first two songs are good. Just listening to the third.

Got it from Amazon this morning.

Just listening through, it seems pretty good. Ch-Ch-Check it out will probably remain a strong favourite, but I'll listen through a few more times to see if any more stand out.

But yeah, it's good.

Yeah that's what I keep thinking. There's no really standout memorable tunes like usual. Well, actually Ch-Ch-Check It Out is, but that's the only one really.

I really like Crawlspace and a lot of the others which names I haven't learnt yet.

I like Ch-Ch-Check it out, would the rest of the album be a good investment?
