    My favorite Beastie Boys release purely for the vast range of tracks given. We have Pop Rap, Budda chanting type instrumentals, and yeah, frigg'n grunge metal! A classic album featuring two great artsits Q-Tip and Biz Markie. Both happen to appear on my two favorite tracks on the disc. Lots of humor and great beats but after a while I get sick of that distortion they use in every track they sing on! Especially Mike D's voice.
