Free Music Notes for Check Your Head
Free Music Review: meh, the bonus disc on this one is weak
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm a big beasties fan, but this one left me wanting more. The recent Paul's Boutique reissue comes with a bonus disc that is pretty good, but this one is kinda lame. The actual Check Your Head album is great, but there's no reason to buy this version instead of the much cheaper single-disc version.
Check Your Head Poster
Digitally remastered for the first time by the band. Features original album plus a bonus disc of b-sides and rarities which has also been remastered. Original artwork has been restored in this 8 panel eco-friendly 2 CD set with fold-out poster/lyric sheet. Originally released in April 1992, "Check Your Head" was a milestone for Beastie Boys on multiple levels and on the strength of now-classic singles and videos 'So What'cha Want', 'Pass The Mic', 'Gratitude' and 'Jimmy James', "Check Your Head" stormed the U.S. Top 10, ultimately returning Beastie Boys to hard-touring, platinum-selling status, and setting the band up for the pop cultural dominance it would achieve in the decade to come.With their third album, the Beasties transformed themselves from smart-ass punks with a hip-hop jones into a playful live funk band with some solid rhymes, assisted by the extraordinary keyboardist Mark Ramos Nishita. A couple of tracks look back to their old school rap roots, and they still deploy goofy samples like nobody's business, but they're mostly making their own grooves (including some instrumentals worthy of being sampled in their own right). Their universalist world-view results in some excellent, off-the-wall fusions--the metalloid bump that forms the funk pulse of "So What'cha Want," Sly Stone's "Time for Livin'" transformed into a hard-rock bomber--but they don't have to prove how clever they are any more, and they're stronger and more humane for it. --Douglas Wolk
