Title: Downright crummy, and quite a letdown
Review: After the stunning trifecta of "Paul's Boutique", "Check Your Head", and "Ill Communication", the Beastie Boys released "Hello Nasty", which has almost no socially redeeming or musical value.Musicianship, sonics, wit, humanitarian politics, obscure in-jokes, references to arcane sports figures, and just plain entertainment--all the hallmarks of the Beasties' best work--are notably absent from "Hello Nasty", replaced by generic turntablism, sophomoric social commentary, uglyass-sounding sonics... blech!
