Negative Positive
Title: This album is DOPE!
Review: I was genuinely surprised at how good the boyz' latest product is. I liked Hello Nasty, but felt that they lost their edge and swagger. They got a little too clownish. I hate to say this, but there wasn't any profanity at all on Hello Nasty, not that you need that for a great album, but that's just not the Beastie Boys. Well, To The Five Boroughs to me is a cross between License To Ill & Paul's Boutique. They got their swagger back but it's more mature. After all, when your pushing 40, you can't keep rapping about partying, women and whiffle ball bats. That would just be silly. Instead, they are able to express the social and political climate of our times in the context of Hip Hop while still throwin' out goofy lyrics and great dance beats!
