Product Description

(This HMV Review is for new items and is only for reference. Novelty will NOT be available for used items despite mentioned bellow.)

Ill Communication follows the blueprint of Check Your Head, accentuating it at some points, deepening it in others, but never expanding it beyond the boundaries of that record. As such, it's the first Beastie Boys album not to delve into new territory, but it's not fair to say that it finds the band coasting, since much of the album finds the group turning in muscular, vigorous music that fills out the black-and-white sketches that comprised Check Your Head. Much of the credit has to go to the group's renewed confidence in — or at least renewed emphasis on — their rhyming; there are still instrumentals (arguably, there are too many instrumentals), but the Beasties do push their words to the forefront, even on dense rockers like the album's signature tune, "Sabotage." But even those rhymes illustrate that the group is in the process of a great settling, relying more on old-school-styled rhyme schemes and word battles than the narratives and surreal fantasies that marked the high points on their first two albums.

高校のときに発売になったけど、まったく色褪せない名盤。ヒップホップを超越した作品だと思う。サボタージュのプロモは最高です。

ジャケに惹かれ某店で250円で購入。何だこれは！？ハジケてんな！PE並のエナジーと冷静さを感じるぞ。peほど一辺倒でなく、より幅広く柔軟な音楽理解を感じる。この疲れない器用なHiphopは、白人の成せる業か。

MCAのベースが超かっこいい。前半のラップの曲と⑰が好き。余談になるけど⑯のモッシュパートはレイジを意識しているのでは？？
