Beastie Boys - 'Ch-Check It Out'
by: amir  30 may 04
rating: rating of 5

Too easy...
Firstly... Wow. The Beasties have returned, and they've produced another masterpiece single.
Fans were a bit cool on Hello Nasty, five years ago, but the highlight was 'Intergalactic', and the three lads from NYC have used the same template - heavy beats, screaming rhythms and complete nonsense lyrics, and produced this masterpiece.
There's more emphasis on actual instrumentation rather than the FX-laden previous albums', and it's certainly much funkier.

I was around when the lads first stole the show in the mid 80's, and they've done it practically every album release since - the show goes on.

A welcome return, and an excellent single.

Amir Arezoo, May 2004
