Paul's Boutique Explicit Lyrics

This is my favorite Beastie Boys album!! I didn't know it was available on vinyl until I saw a FB post about it. I can't vouch for the sound quality personally as I haven't opened it yet but I did read that it has great sound quality.

when you re-buy an item (remasters, omnibus, collector's edition, etc.), and it is better than the original? That's how this re-release of Paul's Boutique is. The original was never loud enough on anything I played it through. Now, the re-mastered version is quite loud enough, and it friggin' rocks. There's not all that excess ephemera included, simply shrouding the same ol' CD that was originally released. The packaging is very sparse, much like the original, which inludes a mini-poster with the lyrics on it. All the dynamite is in the remaster, as the original production was stellar to begin with. That's my 2 cents on the remaster. And, then....Paul's Boutique. What more can I say? It is an essential Beastie Boys album. Now, some folks like Licensed to Ill better, or Check Your Head, or whatever... but I like all of them. I don't think many artists sophomoric releases are as good or better than their first, but Paul's Boutique definitely is. And yet it so different than Licensed to Ill, it's hard to imagine a single group doing two entirely diferent styles of albums, and both be equally as good as the other- 5 star indeed. So, whether you had the original or this is your first time to hear of Paul's Boutique, this is the edition to buy.

Possibly the best rap/early hip hop album ever. I'm not quite sure how to caveat this review, which I nearly never give. But here it goes: I pursue genius in music, regardless of genre. I am a huge Deadhead. John Coltrane's Eqinox is the best jazz single I've ever heard. Then again, Miles Davis's Kind of Blue is my all-time favorite album. But there's the Chili Peppers, Primus, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits (especially Heart of Saturday Night and Closing Time), and on and on. If you share my quirky musical interests and can overlook the Beastie Boys' general perception out there, you are in for a real treat. I had it on CD back in the early '90s. Knew it was exceptional back then. Just got the Lp and am playing vinyl on high end turntable to tube amp to a sweet 2.1 wired speaker system. I'm done selling other than to say get this album.

Everyone should own this album!!

This has to be the best album by far that they came out with! I love license to Ill and all the others but this album was a huge part of my teen years! A must have for any b boy fans collection!!

Bought this album first time in '91. The first time I heard it, by chance I turned on the public radio station and caught the very beginning of High Plains Drifter. I'm thinking to myself...."What are these sounds?" I'd never heard anything like it before...or since. Then the DJ says it's the Beastie Boys new album and I couldn't believe it. This record is not even in the same category as License to Ill. I've been a fan of the Beasties ever since...and I must have played this album hundreds of times to date. Every time I hear it, I get something new off it. Now I'm gonna listen to it again because this recording is noticeably better. Just like the old but crisper, cleaner, bassier everywhere. Things sound more distinct. Worth the price many times over for the true fan of this landmark creation.

I consider this one of the greatest albums ever made, and because of that, jumped at the opportunity to purchase this. I'm still a bit "old fashioned" and bought the CD, and I still play the original CD periodically. So I guess doing this is the best way to notice any improvements. While it's not like night and day, the improvements are noticeable, especially at high volume levels. Are they noticeable enough to shell out $15 on the same CD I already own and have played nearly to death? I'm not 100% sure. If you're going to buy the CD just to buy it, it's probably not worth it. If you're going to buy it to put into your Alpine and re-terrorize the neighborhood (like you used to), then this is a definate purchase. Both you and the album deserve that.

Just plug me in just like I was eddie harris You're eating crazy cheese like you'd think I'm from paris You know I get fly you think I get high You know that I'm gone and I'm a tell you all why So tell me who are you dissing maybe I'm missing The reason that you're smiling or wilding So listen in my head I just want to take 'em down Imagination set loose and I'm gonna shake 'em down Let it flow like a mud slide When I get on I like to ride and glide I've got depth of perception in my text y'all I get props at my mention 'cause I vex y'all So what'cha what'cha what'cha want what'cha want I get so funny with the money that you flaunt I said where'd you get your information from huh? You think that you can front when revelation comes

Hip-hop wouldn't be my specialist subject as i'm more of a rocker. 36 Chambers - Wu-tang, Death Row - Greatest Hits, Method Man - Tical, Eminems 1st two albums, Grandmaster Flash - The Message, The Pharcyde - Bizzare Ride to the Pharcyde, and my collection is exhausted. Now i'm not going to claim i'm an expert but i've absorbed hundreds of Hip-hop tunes over the last few years (I was 15 and just getting seriously into music in 2000 when all sorts of Rap exploded) I can genuinely say this is the greatest piece of Hip-hop i've ever heard, hands down. These lads really think outside the box, the 1st 10 tracks or so all merge into one another, much akin to a 60's/70's concept album. Then there's the last track, originally 1 piece, now broken into 10 for convienience. Best Hip-hop album ever (that i've ever heard)? Most definitely. Best album ever?.............
