I think Intergalactic is kinda fresh. I'm diggin those moody.... violins
is it? It definitely gets better everytime i hear it. I think that's one
of the standout tracks on the record so i would venture a guess that you
would not be happy with the rest, unfortunately. I share the same
confusion as the guy who started the thread, i'm definitely not
thrilled, but it has it's moments. One thing i do know.... the Beasties
are continuing to push the shit out of the envelope. Settling into a
formula for artists in their position seems to be something that's
inevitable. Nice to see they are taking risks. Oh... i don't think i was
all that thrilled with Paul's Boutique the first run through either, and
now I would put it into a list of top ten best records of all time...
