  Complete tangent (because I didn't recognize those lyrics so clicked your link and see their from a 2004 album): Beastie boys up to and including Ill Communication were one of the best bands of the modern era, both in terms of having good music and in defining new genres of music. Paul's Boutique is one of the top 5 albums of the 20th century I'd argue. And then they really became boring. Everything was just a lame copy of some previous success. Intergalactic, etc, just completely uninteresting. Maybe that happens to all bands.

    You’re entitled to your own opinion obviously and this is hardly the forum to discuss it but I don’t agree at all. Hello Nasty is a close second to Paul’s Boutique for me.

      Yeah musical taste is not objective fact. I'm happy you also rank Paul's Boutique first, what a great album, I don't think it gets enough attention. Maybe its just the newer songs that got radio play that didnt click for me. I'll listen to Hello Nasty again tomorrow with an open mind.
