| 5.0 classic | Spliffhanger67 | September 27th 24 |
Edit to rating 2024-09-27: 4.5 > 5.0. Probably my favourite Beastie Boys album, with the psychedelia turned up to 10 and the fun turned up to 11, what an album. Kings of the 90s, these guys.

The third movement of the Beastie Boys' 90s output in which the group moves away from the singles-oriented structure of their first two albums to explore playful experimentation across a wider and more eclectic flavour of genres.

This album is oft overlooked in the Beastie Boys' near-flawless catalogue, but if you give it time, you'll learn to love it. It's certainly less cohesive than the likes of Ill Communication or Paul's Boutique, but that's what I love about it. They are truly scientists of sound, and Hello Nasty is the sound of them making all kinds of crazy science in the studio, but each cut is different, and always has a little thing that will throw you off, just a little curveball, like the sudden classical piano/harpsichord interlude in The Move, and then the bass kicks back in like nothing happened, or the 8-bit explosion in Unite. This album also has some of the best rhymes they ever wrote ("In the next millennium I'll still be old school"? Come on, that's awesome, and true!), and the production rules; Mix Master Mike's insane scratching really adds a lot, and they took the vocal effects they messed with on Check Your Head and Ill Communication and just threw that shit on EVERYTHING, this is a very noisy and dense album, so if you like sparse simple beats, this is not for you. They would revisit this idea more in 2011 on the Hot Sauce Committee.
