Beastie Boys Heap On The Nostalgia

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) September 24, 2007 3:00 pm
When you grow up in a smaller city, your concert-going options are fairly limited. Kingston, Ontario was worse than most because, when I was a teenager, there wasn't anybody in town booking cool indie acts. So if you wanted to see something interesting, you usually had to go to Montreal or Toronto. As a result, seeing the Beastie Boys play in the...

Beastie Boys — The Mix-Up

in
By John Papamarko (CHARTattack) July 3, 2007 12:35 pm
Ad Rock, Mike D and MCA have issued a challenge to the DJs of the world. With The Mix-Up they're serving up a solid backdrop for a mash-up, but unfortunately not much of an album. You get the Beasties' trademark funk undertone throughout, which assists in transition from track to track and gets the job done if you throw it on at a party. "B...

Beastie Boys — Solid Gold Hits

in
By Steve English (CHARTattack) November 15, 2005 8:45 am
With only one studio album separating it from 1999's far superior The Sounds Of Science comp, Solid Gold Hits finds the Beastie Boys shamelessly pimping their legacy. Hurriedly thrown together to capitalize on the trio's waning relevance, this lightweight hits package smacks more of desperate cash-in than triumphant career epilogue. True, most of...

Beastie Boys — To The 5 Boroughs

in
By Jason Richards (CHARTattack) June 15, 2004 3:29 pm
On their first album since 1998, the Beastie Boys defy the expectation that they would some day lose their magic. Twenty-three years after the trio's conception, they're as brash as ever. Boroughs consists of clear, often hysterical rhymes layered over B-Boys’ least cluttered production to date (veteran fans may balk at the lack of hardcore...

The Trews are opening for Kid Rock this summer. It might not seem like east coast hard rock would go with southern rap rock, but this actually makes perfect sense in our brains. D-Sisive and Muneshine are working on a gangsta rap album as The Birthday Boys. Consider this advanced warning. Check out the godawful cover art for Limp Bizkit's new...
