5.0 out of 5 stars B-Boys be goin' on and on...on and on...on and on...on and on..., May 4, 2011
This review is from: Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 (Audio CD)
And they do!

They just don't stop.

The smile that spread across my face as I listened to this album for the first time was undeniable. As a Beastie fan dating from '92, I'm always nervous when a new release by them falls out of the sky. It seems pre-determined that as modern musical artists age, their work tends to decline. I can't say that the Beastie Boys are completely devoid of this, as it really does appear as though their *best* days are behind them. On the flip side of that, they aren't getting lazy, and they aren't simply relying on their name and past glory to get them through current releases.

To The 5 Burroughs was an album that, while good, fell into a bit of a niche. It had a strong political influence (being released in a pivotal election year), that was surrounded by dry, bottom-ed out, depressing beats (a style that was being used by MANY artists at the time.) While the album had plenty of highlights, it also featured a, what I would call, repetitive identity. It's hard to argue against the album being motivated by America's breach of security in the 9/11 attacks, and the seriousness of all of this that propagated the somewhat down-beat feel of this album. What most bothered me was the fact that Mix Master Mike put his stamp on 1998's Hello Nasty and, truly, became a member of the group. Like Slug and Ant in Atmosphere, MMM and the Beastie Boys just molded perfectly. That element seemed lacking on 5 Burroughs, and I can't help but feel somewhat disappointed by it because of that fact.

But fear not - because MMM is studio prominent once again!

What I can say about Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is this - you haven't heard a Beastie Boys album that sounds like it.

THAT'S GOOD NEWS PEOPLE!

That means these guys are STILL evolving.

From bratty rap in '85 to the melting pot sample classic rap of '89 to instrument playing rock rap of '92 to collaborative punk rap of '94 to space age techno rap of '98 to retro beat bumpin' hip hop of '04 to funk instrumentation of '07 - they now show us an electro, grit infused, instrumentally distorted form of hip hop that...oh my god, sounds ORIGINAL. And it sounds original while including a little bit of all of the undermentioned.

These are the Beastie's we still love - innovative, original, and GOOD at what they do. They're clever, hilarious, smart, groove-inducing, head-bopping...I could give you all the adjectives in the world to describe them, but you already know them all. You'll still find the pop culture references and the vocal time changes that you've loved about every past album.

This album gives you, basically, every style of Beastie's music you've heard in the past at least once:

The classic Beastie 1,2,3 - 2,3,1 - 3,1,2 rhyme scheme.
The long 1 - 2 - 3 rhyme scheme, i.e. "three minute rule".
The unorganized verses scheme, i.e. "shadrach"
The collaboration routine with external artists.
The goofy, absurd track.
The punk rock track.
The instrumental track.
The filler track.

It's all here, and while none of them are the absolute best that you've heard them do (although STRONG consideration should be made for the placement of "Lee Majors Come Again" at the top of their punk rock pantheon) - they're still about as good as anything out there today.

If you're a Beastie Boys fan - don't be afraid of this album.

I'm crossing my fingers for a soon-to-be announced tour (pending MCA's health), and I encourage you all to get out there and see them if so - dance, sing along, be surprised by the beat changes - HAVE FUN!

The latter, being just what you'll do while listening to this album.

On the '94 track Root Down, MCA wrote a lyric concerning the tears running down his face because of how much he loved what he did.

It's still evident.

The Beastie Boys are still here, folks - and nobody can accuse them of growing tired of what they do.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOT SAUCE COMMITTEE ~~~~~ FINALLY !!, May 4, 2011
This review is from: Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 (Audio CD)
Let's be honest, there aren't too many artists that can span three decades let alone make a profound impact on the world of music. These dudes were rapping back when hip-hop was just popping off! The Beastie's are a mixed bag. From party pioneers to doody-rhyme mad scientists, liberal social commentators that to this day can still sell out Madison Square Garden in minutes . The lyrical writing is fun like 'Pauls Boutique' , vocals tracked distorted and grimy like 'Ill Communication' layered over electronica a la 'Hello Nasty' with their heaviest hitting beats since 'Check Your Head.' As a matter of fact, I'd say this is their most hip-hop sounding album since their 92-94 era; A Fantastic Beastie Boys record!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Boys are Back!, May 3, 2011
This review is from: Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 (Audio CD)
If any fears lingered that the instrumental only album "The Mix-Up" was a sign of The Beastie Boys getting mellow in their old age, then "Hot Sauce Committee Part Two" should put those fears to rest. Kicking off with their most infectious jam since "Intergalactic", this latest collection of songs finds the Boys sounding more alive and kicking than ever, acknowledging their age and longevity while still reveling in the occasional immature moment that makes them so much fun.
Live instruments dominate- snare drums, fuzzy bass, electric guitar, mixed with an odd assortment of electronic noises and DJ scratching. After the club rocking opener "Make Some Noise", "Nonstop Disco Powerpack" lays down a simpler James Brown-styled funk beat over which the Boys re-introduce themselves, urging one another to "Step up and grab the mic". The rhymes come fast and furious- some brilliant, some throwaway- but rapid enough to make you know you missed some and need to listen again. "OK" sounds like a late '70's Gary Numan track re-mixed by the Chemical Brothers. "Say It" is drenched in distorted bass, white noise, and random electronic noises that may or may not be a clue to the state of mind the Boys were in when the track was recorded. "Lee Majors Come Again" injects the Blitzkrieg Bop with a healthy dose of punk and helps close out the latter half of the album on an aggressive note similar to the one that kicked it off.
Hints of past Beastie accomplishments infuse several tracks, ranging from "Multilateral Nuclear Disarmament", which sounds like an unreleased highlight from "The Mix-Up" sessions to "Long Burn the Fire", which sounds like "Sabotage" on downers; and while the phrase "don't stop" seems to pop up in every other song, it is "Tadlock's Glasses" that sounds most like that earlier track, only this time it's in the midst of an electronic bad trip. It sounds like a bad idea but it is a great listen!
Despite a couple of harmless missteps- the reggae infested "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win" featuring Santigold, and "Crazy A## S@#t" which sounds like M.I.A. lite- this is one heck of a fun album. The jams are kicking, the rhymes are flying out the window, and despite pushing middle age and beyond, the Boys sound like they are having the time of their lives. "The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is in my pants," spits Mike D, and "Hot Sauce Committee Part Two" is solid proof of a band at the height of its powers!
