Negative Positive
Title: Solid Mix
Review: I've been watching these guys from a relative distance for the past 20 years, jumping from style to style but somewhat always able to keep a distinctive image as a band. A few days ago however, a different chapter was added to this story: zapping and stopping on a black & white video looking like from the late 60's, I got myself totally captivated by the sound and I felt surprised with what the legend showed up at the end: Off the Grid, Beastie Boys. At once I decided to break the longtime distance and now, knowing the entire album, I'm really pleased to have done it; there are not so many instrumental albums on top of my preferences but the "The Mix-Up" is an instrumental rock perfection. Besides "Off the Grid", "The Melee", "Dramastically Different" and "The Kangaroo Rat" are my other highlights of an album I find very consistent.
Is the review positive or negative?
