On their previous album, iIll Communication/i, the Beastie Boys expanded their parameters yet again, melding cutting-edge hip-hop with slinky jazz, butt-wiggling funk, weepy classical, and combustive punk rock. Four years down the line, the group's music isn't nearly as organic. They've all but abandoned the guitars and returned to the kind of old-school beats and rhythms that defined their groundbreaking 1989 disc, iPaul's Boutique/i. But iHello Nasty/i isn't a regression, and it's anything but a cop-out: in addition to resurrecting the best elements from their past, the Beastie Boys have embraced the dopest high tech gizmos of the computer age. iHello Nasty/i gurgles like galactic sulfur pools, whizzes like a Sega game, and slurps and thumps like the best backward Hendrix loops. Add in a cavalcade of Latin percussion, calliope keyboards, and exotic samples (Stravinsky, Stephen Sondheim, Jazz Crusaders, Rachmaninoff), and you're left with one of the most creative and jubilant hip-hop records to date, even if you exclude witty lyrics like, "I'm the king of Boggle / There is none higher / I get 11 points off the word iquagmire/i" ("Putting Shame in Your Game"). To paraphrase iüber/i-critic Robert Christgau, iPaul's Boutique/i may have been the band's iPet Sounds/i, but iHello Nasty/i is the Beasties' iSgt. Pepper's/i. i--Jon Wiederhorn/i

 Listen with a open mind October 13, 2003

When I first heard this album I thought it was a bit weird. I listened to it again and a realized that its meant to be weird! But the really amazing thing is that this ( when listened closely ) actually makes a lot of sense and relaxes you. Some of the songs sound like your in a lift but they are so good that you woulden't mind being stuck in a lift with this album playing. I intend to buy more beastie's albums to keep me melo and keep my mind at ease. brSome songs make you laugh, some you sing along to some you dance to. Rock, Jazz, Hip-hop this album has everything and succeds in mixing it into a blend of brilliance that everyone can enjoy.pIf you do not own this album buy it right away!!!

I bought this album after hearing the tracks like Intergalactic, Body Movin, Super Disco Breakin. And I thought the whole album would be like that, but then you get tracks likeSong For The Man, And Me, and I Don't Know, which are totally different styles. It just makes it better, and this album is a must for any Beastie fan, or fan of music in General. Phat Album!

Question? Where can you get Spanish singers, Jamacian reggae, Lottery adverts, and references to tangerines on the same record? Answer: Hello NastypThis is probably the peak of the Beasties' work, bringing together all that they do best and making it better. Old Skool is the way to be, and don't they know it. The best track has got to be '3 Mc's and One DJ', that should not bring down the rest of the album. As well as the posturing of 'Super Disco Breakin'' you get the thoughtful sides like 'Song For The Man'. The collaborations are numerous, with heavyweights like Lee Perry, Lucious Jackson, Money Mark and Mixmaster Mike all bringing stength to the album. This is definately the sound of science. If it was possible, this would get 6 out of 5.
'Cos nobody can do it like Mixmaster Mike (and the Beastie Boys) can!! September 27, 1999
The Beastie Boys have come a long way since tracks like "You gotta fight for your right to party". But at the same time, they have not lost the energy so obvious in "Ill Communication". This album not only shows that they still know how to put wicked, shouty (and silly) rhymes together (Three MCs and One DJ being the best), but also reflects their interests in other styles of music in the collaboration with people like Lee Scratch Perry and but the more jazzy and even dubby moments on the album. Worth it just for answer machine message from Mixmaster Mike, the harpsicords on "The Move", the steel drums at the start of "Body Movin'" and the hidden track!
Genius, and not even their best album September 23, 2009
Neil
Not the Beasties' best album, but amazing nonetheless. This album contains some of the best and most original rap songs ever recorded ("Super Disco Breakin'", "The Move", "Intergalactic", "Body Movin'") along with some crazy instrumentals ("Sneakin' Out the Hospital"), relaxed singalongs, ("I Don't Know", "Instant Death"), and it's all glued together with hilarious soundbytes, samples and skits.
br /
br /It's only failing is that it's maybe a bit long, and includes two tracks that should probably have been left as b-sides ("Dr Lee PhD", "Dedication"), but for the most part, even the tracks you like least contain something that makes them essential - a beat or a sample in there somewhere, or a lyrical turn of phrase... Everything has been created with such an attention to detail, rendered with such sonic clarity, and conceived with such imagination that it's impossible not to marvel at the genius of it.
br /
br /"Sneakin' Out the Hospital" really does sound like the sound of someone sneaking out of a hospital. The two steel drum loops that are connected in "Body Movin'" are irresistible... then when you marry them with some crazy fitness instruction guy barking orders you wonder where this is coming from! Then you've got the robot voice in "Intergalactic" and an ominous organ sound... these are just some of the highlights.
br /
br /When you consider that most hip-hop acts are content to steal a beat and then rap over a keyboard part (Ghostface has been known to just rap over a soul track!), you have to accept the fact that the Beasties are the most innovative, creative and inventive in rap - possibly in the whole genre of popular music.
br /
br /So in conclusion, while I would cite "Check Your Head" as the best Beasties album, this one gets 5 stars for it's relentless genius. It may not be as cohesive as some (any) of their other albums, but therein lies it's strengths - it isn't cohesive, but it is consistently genius and frequently brilliant.
br /
br /And that's all I have to say about that.
