Absolutely stunning. The pinnacle of its genre and of the art of sampling.

The sampling is fantastic, but for some reason this album disappoints me. I think my hopes might have been too high the first time I listened to this. It's still a great album, and I do like it, but I feel like it could've been better.

this album is connected to my adolescents. i remember doing a paper route listening to this cd non stop. Songs like 'Shake Your Rump', 'Eggman', and 'Sound of Science' really spoke to my newly hormone injected brain. Nowadays I can still enjoy the album but I tend to stick to 'High Plains Drifter', '3 Minute Rule', 'Looking Down the Barrel of Gun', and 'Car Thief'. These all have a similar feel to me for some reason. Got to love the 'Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun' music video.

The masterpiece of one of the greatest bands/rap groups/whatevers of all time. I highly recommend reading the 33 1/3 for the book. Gives really interesting insight into the story of the album, especially into where the Beasties were at that point of their career. RIP MCA

Haven't listened in forever. I remember it being a vast improvement over Ill but still being a bit disappointing with its legacy and all.

Always a great and refreshing listen. The kings of party before party music became house. It's also the sister album to 3 feet high and rising, both of which marked the height of sampledelica, and laid the paths for everything from Since I Left You to Person Pitch to literally any sample-based music around after then. My personal favorite track is "Egg Man".

Miles ahead of Licensed to Ill, despite that album having my favorite BB song: "Rhymin' and Stealin'." PB is a little more versatile and has more fun songs that Licensed. This album was in my top 100 for a little while, and it may still be. It's been a while since I've checked my charts. This album has one of my favorite BB quotes: "Rapunzel Rapunzel let down your hair so I can climb up and get into your underwear." "Shake Your Rump" is great.

A landmark album that sounds like the culmination of everything that hip-hop had been working towards.
