For the longest time, they were one of those groups where I knew a bunch of their popular songs, you know?
But recently I decided to go through their albums and man. They're pretty fucking amazing imo. Even a lot of their lesser known tracks are awesome.

Get the fuck out. I love their aggressive, old school tag team style of rapping. It was that perfect amount of catchy, cheesy and cool (the three C's).

And that's fine! Some people like that. I personally find them way too corny for my tastes, and I really don't like their voices or delivery. For me, their strength was always in production

They admitted that most of their lyrics were dumb because they always tried to come up with some goofy shit to make the other two members laugh.

It's not a Beastie Boys song unless one of them tells you about a dance move they can do.

They got plenty of hate on the Rock Band boards but I chalk that up to them picking a boring ass song for the game (So Whatcha Want) and the "You can't spell crap without rap" crowd being prevalent in that game's fanbase.

Them's fighting words. So Whatcha Want is tied with Gratitude as the best song on Check Your Head.

It translated very poorly to the game

There's a theory it was only in because Beck's E-Pro apparently sampled the drums or something

That makes sense, I could see that song turning off people who hadn't heard of them, since the guitar track was just abysmal. Like why didn't they at least go with No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn? That's not complex by any means but at least the guitar track in that is prevalent.

Then again, Rock Band's always been a little bit dodgy, the guitar charts aim too much towards trying to simulate the feel of playing the actual song over making the charts fun. Which means they kinda sabotaged Sabotage:

(if you don't play RB you can't really see it, but that song is not fun to play on RB guitar at all)

always wondered, what's the diff between a band/artist/musical act?


band: more than one person playing an instrument to play a song

artist: one person who wrote or performs music

musical act: generic term when you need to generally address some entity that will perform music in some form, since a musical act could be anything from a rock band to a church choir to one of those people who set up like 50 floppy drives to play the Doom theme or something

Amen, brother. Hello Nasty is my personal favorite. All of their albums are fucking great (I still need to listen to the Hot Sauce Committee though) but HN is probably one of my favorite albums of a time.
