The five hundred and sixty-seventh album: #567 Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill
There's something really appealing to Beastie Boys' sound, even as it has its points where some of the tracks blend together. Part of it feels like it's from the punk rock origins of the band, with the backing track feeling heavily punk influenced while the rap on top feels like it still has some part of that sentiment. It's mostly pretty happy and upbeat in its sound, which helps as well - juvenile at times, but it works with the sound that's present, and it's no wonder there are so many hit tracks on here to recognise. It feels as much part of a build to this version of hip hop as it sets where rock starts to develop to, with a larger fusion than before.
And as an aside, the TV references in Time to Get Ill feel like they meshed really well with the TV project and everything I've been covering lately.
