April 26, 2011. Could Beastie Boys possibly give less of a fuck about trying to sound young? In a word, no. As Ad-Rock proudly declares on their excellent new Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, "Oh

Well, in the same place as I began this review: unbridled hedonism and arrested adolescence. Hot Sauce Committee Part Two is a twisted, eternally immature version of Peter Pan's famous line, "I don't want to grow up!" Because after a quarter-century, it seems as if the Beastie Boys are determined never to do that.

HSC II represents another compelling chapter in the trio's Superdryimaginarium of beats, rhymes and life that began three decades ago. Though it's still hard to equate the head-tripping Buddhists with the hard living hedonists that fuelled Licensed To Ill's 80s brat-hop clamour, it's harder still to push for definitions.The Beasties' wayward experimentalism has always made getting

Over three decades later, the Beastie Boys remain ever vigilant. Case in point, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. Seven years in the making, the Beastie's eighth studio effort finally starts the next chapter in the group's story. Undeniable funk and Beastie roots dig deep, and if the old-school methodology here doesn't scratch nostalgic

Review: Beastie Boys, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. ... Given the erratic nature of every musical climate they've had to endure, the Beastie Boys's unprecedented longevity is a testament to the enduring quality of their work.

Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 — Capitol, 2011 As is common place whenever the Beastie Boys release an album, there is cause for celebration—usually the popular music of the time has grown stagnant, and, on average, it's been at least three years since the last Beasties' release.

Two weeks before the Beastie Boys release Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, Colin McKean gives their eighth studio album the track-by-track treatment. The chunky groove is a declaration of intent from Ad Rock's opening volley: "Here we go again give you more nothin' lesser / Back on the mic it's the anti-depressor," to MCA's familiar

Now we have Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. The sound, like that of Boroughs, is firmly rooted in early-80s hip-hop and electro, with nary a glance at modern trends. Some of its textures seem unreasonably harsh at first, but after a few spins the hooks sink in deep. The Beasties stretch out a little — not as much as on their 90s classics, but

In a very positive review, AllMusic had some interesting things to say about the sensational and hugely memorable Hot Sauce Committee Part Two: "Once Adam Yauch discovered he had cancer in 2009, the Beastie Boys shelved their forthcoming The Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 and its companion volume, gradually reviving and revising the project once Yauch went into remission.

Hot Sauce Committee Part Two is the album we needed after that (mostly) atrocious attempt at political hip-hop with To The 5 Boroughs. HSCP2 opens up with "Make Some Noise" which harkens back to Check Your Head-era Beastie Boys with its funky, casio keyboards and static, distorted vocals.

Hot Sauce Committee, Pt 2 is a fine album but not quite the classic that some fans and critics want it to be. There are plenty of hooks and sound effects to go around, but the album's street-smart savior faire feels a bit forced (not surprising given the fact that the Beastie Boys are all but domesticated nowadays).

https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/43240/Beastie-Boys-Hot-Sauce-Committee-Part-Two/
The Beastie Boys fail, not because they've delivered faulty product, but because they've picked up old habits and failed to keep the momentum going the whole way through. Half on fire, and half burnt out, Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 is, in its finest moments nothing more than a great album. But it's certainly no game changer.

The Beastie Boys were never able to tour to support Hot Sauce Committee Part Two when they released it 10 years ago, and only ever performed a single song from it ("Too Many Rappers" with Nas) live.They're even absent from most of the visual representations of the album.

On Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, things start off on a groovy note, as "Make Some Noise" fuses a reggae vibe with a crispy synthesizer, and Beastie Boys pounce in without missing a beat from their days on To The 5 Boroughs. It's more of an in-your-face, clean delivery style, and the beat even takes the time to switch keys for the last verse
