Title: Three MCs and One DJ
Review: To the 5 Boroughs is the Beasties stripped down, tightened up, and kickin'. From the high energy single (Ch Check it Out) to the harpsichord-looped Right Right Now Now, this album is so stunning in its simplicity, it makes Hello Nasty, Ill Communication and Paul's Boutique seem overproduced. After this showing, I am pretty sure that the Beasties could rap over a looped airport parking announcement and still be compelling.The Beasties are always best when they are paying tribute to NYC. I'm sure I wasn't the only Brooklynite who shed a tear when the boys went LA. Anyone who was in the 5 boroughs during 9/11 will be moved by "Open Letter to NYC", which captures the feeling of community that followed the tragedy.
Is the review positive or negative?
