aricandover Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Well, I consider this a bit of bad news wow, I consider that incredibly exciting news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 wow, I consider that incredibly exciting news.Instrumental only? Man, it sounds like a drag to me. I need rhyme selections in a wide array. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dixiecupdrinker Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 wow, I consider that incredibly exciting news. So, this is going to be on par with the instrumental only album "The In Sound from Way Out", except that this will be all original material, whereas TISFWO drew from Ill Communication and maybe Check Your Head? I'm not sure how to feel about this yet. The idea works better as a side-project or something you put out with little fanfare or announcement. Huh. Well, I'll end up buying it anyway. dcd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plasticeyeball Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 i was excited earlier in the thread when there was a check your head comparison. i'm not excited any longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 They're top notch rappers but only decent musicians in my opinion. Honestly I usually skip over the instrumentals to get to the good stuff. Those songs are okay but they're not what I want to hear when I put on the Beasties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 by the time they released Hello Nasty, I was more interested in hearing them play instrumentals than rapping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I'm 50/50 on this...part of me thinks that they seemed to kind of lose something as MC's (just a little) on TT5B, but I would rather have a mix of instrumentals/actual rhymes ala Check/Illcomm. Either way, i'm still excited. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airtaco Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 This is devistating news and have lost almost all interest. EDIT: I just read the email from the Capitol records employee, and it's rather ambiguous. It could merely mean that there are instruments on each track, though I'm still nervous.

bjorn_skurj Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Maybe your supposed to supply your own rhymes. Do they really make rhyming dictionaries? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phish907 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I Love the B-Boy's. I love the idea of some instrument only shows, but I gotta say their stuff has been lame as of late. Hello Nasty was ok, I really didn't care for the last one. My freind and I were just talking the other day that the B-Boys need to come out and knock our socks off with the new one.

solace Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 i can't see them doing an all instrumental record and then treating this is some big brand Beasties album as they have, and the Check Your Head comparison... i'll believe it when i hear it. i love their instrumentals (Jen, they actually pretty damn good musicians honestly...), but I want a new full on BBoys record to wash the taste of TT5B out of my mouth!

Sir Stewart Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Cool song titles, too: 1) B for My Name 2) 14th St Break 3) Suco de Tangerina 4) The Gala Event 5) Electric Worm 6) Freaky Hijiki 7) Off the Grid 8) The Rat Cage 9) The Melee 10) Dramastically Different 11) The Cousin of Death 12) The Kangaroo Rat (of course, there's a poll on the Boys' message board right now debating whether the cover/tracklisting are fakes.)

Mrs. Peel Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 i love their instrumentals (Jen, they actually pretty damn good musicians honestly...) Yeah, they're good, but their songs are pretty standard jam band type material....nothing I couldn't hear in a hundred other places. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 disagree, but fair enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yankhotelfox Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 They are not nearly as good as they were in the early '90s although they're still decent. I saw them "open" for Radiohead at Giant's Stadium (June '03) and they were pretty lame and only played for about 40 minutes; then Radiohead tore it up for almost 3 hours. My brother in law shared gigs with the Beasties at places like CBGB in the early 80s and says they're cocky punks. Paul's Boutique and Check Ya Head were the pinnacle of their careers.

dixiecupdrinker Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I wonder if they're still cocky punks now that they are in their forties. dcd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
