| 5.0 classic | Toby B. Noto | September 9th 06 |
The Beastie Boys most blatant funk/hip-hop influenced album. Absolutely jam-packed with wah pedal guitar fills, clangy harmonics and rough distortion. the rhymes are phenomenal, especially in tracks such as 'Shadrach' and 'Egg Man'. An incredibly solid album with originality and style to match.

Rumbling past concrete and bridges swiftly converted into homes, an outdoor Bronx candy store.

Interviewer: Nathanael Hornblower, you've been working with the Beasties for the last three years. What can you tell us about their new record, "Paul's Boutique"? Nathanael Hornblower: Vell, I can tell you that it has been a remarkable experience. Ze boys have brought a whole new skill set to zis record. I have verked vith many artists, and none have impressed me like ze Beastie Boys have. Interviewer: Can you elaborate? Nathanael Hornblower: Zey are fragmented, allusive, aggressive, and inspired. Zey dredge all of musical history for samples (zey bite from John Williams, ze Beatles, and Idris Muhammad, for Gott's sake!), namedrop scientists, writers (after all, zey got more rhymes zan JDs got Salingers), and buy drinks from Orange Julius. Zis is a postmodern crisis of consciousness, a dick-measuring contest von by pop-culture knowledge, a rap battle fought vith a TV Guide in one hand and a syllabus in ze other. Fuck concepts, fuck tradition, zis is innovation. Interviewer: Well...um...we're certainly looking forward to it. Nathanael Hornblower: Yes, ve are looking forward to the release. I hope all ze Swiss girls come to ze party.

They match song samples with lyrics better than anyone else ever has.

It's a trip, it's got a funky beat, and I can bug out to it!

An album from a different time. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome... just... the time difference between when this was made, and the time of life where this would be most influential (not to mention the supreme cultural change during the time) is just too large of a gap to be really enjoyable. Good luck to other listeners though... 3.6/5

The flow, the beats, the lyrics, the namedropping; this album's got it all! As the finest of it's kind it deserves a "classic" rating. The Sounds of Science, Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun and B-Boy Bouillabaisse makes everything even better!
