Come to think of it... I haven't heard The Mix Up either. Ha! I've got TWO "new" Beastie Boys albums to listen to.
It's good, but it's just a sequel to The In Sound... And they did it better the first time.
I'm confused.
Why is The In Sound considered a compilation and The Mix Up is considered their seventh album? If The In Sound isn't a proper album, how can it have a sequel?
The In Sound was composed largely of bossanova-tinged instrumental tracks that appeared on other albums, plus a few new cuts. The Mix Up is comprised of songs cut from the exact same cloth, only they were composed explicitly for the record.
Ill Communication will be hard to beat. It's a damn near perfect record. And it contains a song that I'd be willing to call the best song of the 1990s. It's a special record.
License to Ill is a fun record. But, yeah, the growth the band showed, even as early as Paul's Boutique, is unbelievable. It's almost a different group on that second record.
It's garbage compared to everything they did after it.
It's not as good as the next 3 or 4 but it has a handful of great travks
It really does. As far as debut albums go, it's still up there for me as one of the best. But holy fuck what happens next is just exceptional. And now so much of LTI feels dated and a bit silly. I still listen to it and enjoy it though.

I'm not saying LTI is garbage, I'm saying compared to everything after it's garbage. That's an important distinction, and what I'm saying isn't as much a knock on LTI but a testament to how brilliant everything that came after it is.

Exactly. I can totally pick up what you're putting down here, friend.
