Licensed to Ill
The joke of Licensed to Ill's cover--that the Beasties could crash their jet into the side of a mountain and keep on tickin'--serves as a good metaphor for a career that even some of their 1986 admirers thought might be over after the one-time-only shock of this full-length debut. That thousands of funk-junkie wannabes have since failed at re-creating its groove, breaking-the-law vibe, and ear-splitting mix of rock and rap is an even better joke. And funniest of all is the record itself, which packs dexterous boasts, aural puns, and lots and lots of yelling into a disc that can still be listened to with as much pleasure as it gave in '86. --Rickey Wright more

- Hip-Hop that will ROCK your socks off! (5 stars)
When examining the over-the-top gangsta posturing of mainstream hip-hop in the past 15 years, it's easy to see why some cats neglect to pay homage to one of the golden age's finest. This album single-handedly popularized hip-hop in all...

- Classic, but gets old.
Classic but dated. If you looking for Beastie Boys albums that have great Hip-Hop beats and don't have that 80's Young MC/Run-DMC sound, purchase Ill Communication or Check Your Head. The Root Down Ep is also ace! If you're looking for...

- the good songs are good, but it hasn't aged that well
this is more like 3.5 stars. the beasties were a fun band and this is pretty much a fun album, but I think that the samples don't add that much to the music and honestly, it seems stupid to me oftentimes. when I am feeling strange and...
