Title: Monotonous and Forgettable
Review: I'm not a big fan of Beastie Boys. I like them more for the music they sample and humourous lyrics. These are missing on To the 5 Boroughs. The samples are mostly of other rap artists and lack soul. There are no dense layers of samples as used on Hello Nasty, Ill Communication and Check Your Head. All we are left with is the Beasties themselves which isn't that interesting. The lyrics aren't nearly as funny or interesting either.The music is monotonous and forgettable. For completists only.[DW]
