Free Music Notes for The Mix-Up
Free Music Review: Beasties have just jumped the shark
Hit: 1 Stars
The Besties have abandoned their strengths and are now playing pretend in the deep end of the pool. Take a listen to Medeski Martin and Wood, or Garaj Mahal. In the vernacular, they are now biting some styles, and the result is WACK. As a hip hop crew, they are untouchable, as a funky jazz combo, they're a joke.Free Music Review: TEH FUNK
Hit: 5 Stars
Up until a few weeks ago, I never listened to the Beastie Boys. Then it started with "No Sleep Till Brooklyn", and I then got "Hello Nasty" and "To the 5 Boroughs"
I'll leave my reviews on those for the actual products, but I also got ahold of this one, and I didn't know it was all instrumental.
But listening to it, it's a completely different sound from typical Beastie Boys hip hop. IT'S TEH FUNK? None of the songs peak to a level of extreme emotion, as its more of a laidback album, but the songs regularly go from catchy beats to genuinely well-made and good sounding tracks, making for a great, tame, casual sound. This coming from someone whose musical tastes involve Ayreon, Iced Earth, Rammstein, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails, Orphaned Land, Nightwish, System of a Down, etcetera.
Free Music Review: All Instrumental, don't buy if you're a beginner
Hit: 3 Stars
As stated before, this album is made up 12 original instrumental songs, but I mean go listen to a Beethoven or Mozart record for instrumental music we want the Rapcore-style music that the Beastie Boys became famous for way back in the mid-1980's. This doesn't even sound like the Beastie Boys, either. It's got a very strong Funk/Reggae overtone.
I give it a 2.5 .
BUY THIS if you've been into the Beastie Boys since at least the 90's, and.or have a Beastie Boys collection, but if this will be your first Beastie Boys album, and/or you've just got into them, don't even bother. You'll question how people can like them. This is not the stuff that influenced Rage Against The Machine.
However, if you're into the B.B.'s, I reccommend checking out:
Rage Against The Machine
Limp Bizkit
Faith No More
Free Music Review: Too Groovy for Words!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I can't get enough of this album! I have listened to it over and over. I have been a huge fan of the Beastie Boys since back in the day and still love their last instrumental album, "The In Sound from Way Out." So, when I heard that they had put out another, I couldn't order it fast enough! A must have for anyone's collection.Free Music Review: groove
Hit: 5 Stars

very differnt from their other instrumental album titled
in sounds from the way out.
