CHECK YOUR HEAD was a really important record to me when I was younger. I stopped really following them after ILL COMMUNICATION/ROOT DOWN/IN SOUNDS FROM WAY OUT era. General thoughts?

Paul's Boutique rules.

deflinus · 08.15.2008, 02:36 PM

hello nasty got me into them. i love that album. i then started listening to their greatest hits package and i started to backtrack.

they're really good

08.15.2008, 02:39 PM

check your head and illcommunication are essential I think. also like hello nasty, but to the 5 burroughs is the album I havent listen to much.
and they are fun live

noisereductions · 08.15.2008, 02:42 PM

Ohman, I forgot about 5 BURROUGHS... I actually really liked that album but somehow forgot it even existed. I just picked up the live DVD over the weekend, but havent watched it yet. Sort of got me thinking about them again though.

08.15.2008, 02:42 PM

I like MMM, and I think il communications is a more thought out version of check. there are some parallels especially the really good instrumentals...but alone sabotage was a blast even if it s one of their biggest hits

and thats the problem with to the 5 borroughs. its not a bad album, like how it goe in a more electroical way, but everybody forgets it...the last thing most people can remember is intergalactic or the one after that. remixed by fat boy slim

5 boroughs (sorry boroghs) is a great little album.... i love it, possibly my favoutrite b boys album since pauls boutique....

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.15.2008, 02:46 PM

I was very unimpressed with it myself, and it took me a while to find it so I was expecting a lot from it. Most of it is just extended instrumentals from other albums, maybe even all of it; I'm not to familiar with all of their stuff so I can't say.

SonicBebs · 08.16.2008, 12:42 PM

i started listening to 5 boroughs again and really like it.

Hello Nasty has got some wicked tracks on it too

But they're a band that have lots of tunes i skip on most of their albums

08.16.2008, 01:37 PM

there is this track between the third and foruth one if I remmeber good enough, which sounds like a mexican something. I love it when the beat kicks in.

Danny Himself · 08.16.2008, 01:48 PM

Ill Communication has so many far-out sounds on it, it's fantastic. They covered a lot of musical ground there and its still all cohesive as an album. The Mix-Up is great background music, it can be a little boring sometimes though. To The 5 Boroughs is pretty okay, some tracks are cheesy and disappointing though, the heavy beat in 'Ch-Check It Out' makes up for it.

SuperCreep · 08.16.2008, 01:54 PM

PB through Ill Communication: Yes.
Anything else: Hell to the fuck no.

i never thought about this, but maybe a little.

my faves:
1. ill communication (very important album for me when i was young, also licensed to ill)
2. check yr head
3. hello nasty

batreleaser · 08.16.2008, 03:34 PM

paul's botique is phenomenal. the production on that record is top notch. rivals even the rza and the bomb squad. ill communication is 75 percent really rad too, i like those two records quite a bit. check ur head is decent, other than that, not really into them.

they actually could qualify as a band where i like the sounds but cant stand the vocals. mike d's voice piiiiisssssseeeeeessssssss me off. but i loooovvvvveeeeee the dust brothers production.

They rule! I own that Sounds of Science Anthology: all tracks are pure bliss

Yeah, well they were both (consciously and point-blank OBVIOUSLY) ripping off Gershon Kingsley.

Hilarious seeing someone defend Stereolab's originality; sure, they were great in the early to mid 90s, but let's face it, they are a pastiche band if there ever was one. "Hallo Gallo" anyone?

Rob Instigator · 08.16.2008, 04:55 PM

I freally fucking liked Hello Nasty. it kicks major ass. The double gold colored vinyl is dope tooooo

Rob Instigator · 08.16.2008, 05:00 PM

3MC's & 1 DJ. Great fucking video
