It still holds all the same great qualities of Master of Puppets. However, this time the album is mixed like shit. It sounds incredibly dry. Still through this at times the great songs peak through.

+ Great beats, nice production, keeps the sound consistent for its long runtime
- The long runtime, general theme of the album and ... questionable lyrics.

Nothing wrong with being a bit edgy on your nicely produced hiphop record, but for such a long album AND including some pretty bad interludes, yeah that deducts some points.

I love love love Beastie Boys, but besides Brass Monkey, Fight For Your Right and No Sleep Till Brooklyn the rest of the songs just aren't good and not enjoyable. Especially knowing what great work they would do later.

Rated 2/10

It's not necessarily *that* awful, I just wanted it to end as soon as possible and never want to hear it again.

At first I thought the average score on this album was a bit harsh, since I heard quite some variation in the tracks and their influences. However this album is just too long and at some point I realized that each song had a cool idea or sound and then just did that until the end with little variation. Then the last half of the album just isn't all that good.

Yes it's repetitive and odd but it at points builds some interesting soundscapes that I could really get into. Still, yes, it is not super interesting compared to its contemporaires around 1994

Sometimes the amount of streams per song on an album are quite telling. Ignoring the singles, it starts around 177k and gradually decreases until 66k. Which perfectly reflects my opinion on the album, the album isn't even that long, but holy hell does it drag on and on and on at around the halfway point.

Rated 8/10

A beautiful and fascinating album, but kinda crazy we have this album and Medúlla in this list but not Post or Homogenic.

Outside of some of the "conscious" lyrics, there is nothing really noteworthy at all. Getting a "Why is this on the list?" score of 1
