About album of the day: The BestEverAlbums.com album of the day is the album appearing most prominently in member charts in the previous 24 hours. If an album, or artist, has previously been selected within a x day period, the next highest album is picked instead (and so on) to ensure a bit of variety.

Would it be anti-Semetic for me to accuse this of appropriation (and then recommend early Limp Bizkit instead)? I actually don't have any social problems with the album, but I've always found it a bit boring. It obviously was really culturally important, but the results just don't feel fun enough for me.

Well, it would certainly be preposterous. This is a very fun record imo. It's not inherently anti-Semitic, but I suppose only you can judge whether the Beastie Boys' Jewishness is salient to your preference for Limp Bizkit.

Actually, now that I think about it, it almost certainly isn't. Maybe my apathy is because I've only listened to it on first/run 1989 CD instead of a remaster.
Edit: Listening to the remaster, and I think I just don't like the vocal style of the Beasties in general. It reminds me of how Weird Al made fun of them with thatb"Twister" song. It just sounds so buffoonish to me.

Ahh, back when rap artists could afford to shove 20 samples into every song.
Hectic fun. Shake Your Rump should be played at every party (how the hell have i not done so yet at pre-drinks smh) and the closing suite is 14 mins of straight gold. _________________
Didnt pick this up until late 90s. I don't think it set the world on fire when it was released like other classic hop hop albums may have, even though it had good reviews at the time. People, including myself, maybe looked at them as old hat by then. Also everybody was into with either 3 feet high or Staight Outta Compton, or both. Just looked to see where NME had it in the end of year list. It's at 11 behind wonderstuff, Maria McKee and Neville brothers albums 🙄
Disintegration at 23.
....No, asking the question is making a stupid liberal hypocrisy joke. (I really don't have any social problem with them, even if it sometimes feels convenient to say I do)
Yeah, the Beasties are obviously super-important to the history of hip-hop, but they're vocal style is just nails on a chalkboard to me. Significant Other actually sounds a lot more like old-school hip-hop than Paul's Boutique does, with just the right amount of rock influence to mix things up.
