The origin of the Beastie Boys' all-encompassing mixture.
They moved away from sampling and returned to live instrumentation, and became closely linked to skateboarding and street culture. Their album reached number 10 on the US charts, solidifying their place in the music industry.
This monumental album saw the Beastie Boys switch to samplers as an instrument, fusing their punk and funk roots in a genre-less mix. Easily transcending the boundaries of a rap group, it had a decisive influence on the subsequent fusion rock movement. Combining precision and playfulness, this historic album truly represents the conscience of the '90s alternative scene.
