To The 5 Boroughs Explicit Lyrics

Description: To The 5 Boroughs [Audio CD] Beastie Boys Product Overview Format: To The 5 Boroughs [Explicit] The hiatus is back off, again, for the Beastie Boys, and music lovers will bob their heads with insuppressible glee. With its Nice & Smooth impersonations and shout outs to Brooklyn's Albee Square Mall, To the 5 Boroughs, their first album in six years, harkens the return of the trio to the city that made them who they are today. It's an up-tempo yet surprisingly homogenous assemblage of vintage electro-style party beats, and it's a strictly Beastie affair: the Boys co-wrote and produced each track themselves, which means that it sports none of the sonic fripperies and quirky collaborations that distinguished previous classics such as Paul's Boutique. Finally jelling after two years of on-again, off-again recording, To the 5 Boroughs will appeal to those fans old enough to remember the Licensed to Ill tour. Those old-schoolers are sure to appreciate the album's mostly off-the- cuff lyrics and minimal-to-the-extreme musical landscape--even if its stripped-down sound may leave others longing for the days when the Boys were California dreamin'. --Rebecca Levine The hiatus is back off, again, for the Beastie Boys, and music lovers will bob their heads with insuppressible glee.

Club) Boroughs' greatest strength is its aural cohesiveness, fueled by a litany of Golden Age samples... and the heavy, often dark, bass-driven soundscapes. -- Filter The beats... are simple and effective, with a welcome lack of distracting bells and whistles that made Hello Nasty feel overstuffed. [18 Jun 2004, p.83] -- Entertainment Weekly To the 5 Boroughs is an exciting, astonishing balancing act: fast, funny and sobering. -- Rolling Stone See more Details Is Discontinued By Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ No Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.16 x 5.63 x 0.55 inches; 3.03 ounces Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ Capitol Original Release Date ‏ : ‎ 2004 Date First Available ‏ : ‎ January 29, 2007 Label ‏ : ‎ Capitol Number of discs ‏ : ‎ 1 Best Sellers Rank: #123,444 in CDs & Vinyl (See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl) #124 in Old School Rap #405 in Experimental Rap (CDs & Vinyl) #473 in East Coast Rap Quality Products This will be shipped securely Returns must be within 30 days - item EXACTLY as it was sent.
