Awesome, I Shot That

DVD Video Anthology - Criterion Collection

Amazon.com

By 1994 the Beasties had settled into their cultural role as the grand arbiters of cool, and Ill Communication is pretty much a catalog of coolness: live funk, a bit of hardcore, ingenious samples of obscure records, keyboards by analogue master Money Mark, guest shots by Q-Tip and Biz Markie, MCA's cop-show metal number "Sabotage," and the inevitable cascade of witty old-school rhymes. But it's also a surprisingly mature record from a band that had, after all, been at it for 12 years already. The original jazz-funk instrumentals hold their own with the group's favorite sample sources. Their voices are modestly buried in the mix, and they've tempered their old snottiness with lyrical compassion: check out "Bodhisattva Vow," a salute to Buddhist spirituality. --Douglas Wolk

I got this it works fine. Everything is great, but delivery is where I have complaints. So far things have gone smoothly, but today no care was given to my package.
Thank you for your feedback

This feedback is specific to the vinyl record. I have read a bunch of poor reviews on it, but the copy I just received was remastered perfectly without a skip or anything. It is amazing! So glad that I took a leap of faith and ignored the previous feedback I read. Maybe I just got lucky. I don't know. This is the bomb!!!

As a whole this album really flows nicely, not every song is a hit here, but they all fit well together as a whole. Must haves like Sabotage, Root Down, and Sure Shot are in there along with some personal favs of mine like Flute Loop and Shambala leading into Bodhisattva Vow. Finally got around to purchasing again since my original from back in the day was never returned and happy I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Album
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 26, 2023
I’ve recently become interested in The Beasties after watching the most superb Amazon series Patriot. This album is surely a classic, best played at high volume and great for driving. It had to be taken as a ‘whole’ experience , I do have a number of favourites, but just love listening to the whole album in it entirety. I want a great fan of Hip Hop in the 1980s, but love it now!
