Ill Communication is het vierde studioalbum van de Beastie Boys en geldt als een van hun meest veelzijdige platen. Het album verscheen in de jaren negentig en werd uitgebracht op Grand Royal Records. Deze versie betreft de remaster op 2 LP's, wat zorgt voor een volwaardige, gedefinieerde klank en een uitgebreide beluisterervaring voor de liefhebber van het vinylformat.

Qua genre is Ill Communication een caleidoscoop van stijlen. De basis wordt gevormd door alternatieve hiphop, maar het trio schakelt moeiteloos tussen hiphop, punkrock, jazz en funk. Dit eclecticisme was typerend voor de periode waarin de groep steeds meer afstand nam van uitsluitend samples en juist experimenteerde met live ingespeelde instrumenten. De samensmelting van stijlen maakt het album tot een uniek sonisch tijdsdocument waarin het energieke karakter van punk, de groove van funk en jazz en de spitsvondigheid van old school hiphop samenkomen.

Het album bevat een aantal tracks die inmiddels iconisch zijn geworden. Zo opent Ill Communication met Sure Shot, waarin een herkenbare jazzy fluitsample en een aanstekelijke breakbeat direct de toon zetten. Een ander hoogtepunt is Sabotage, een ruige mix van rock en rap, waarin scherpe gitaren, snelle drums en agressieve vocalen samensmelten tot een van de meest bekende tracks uit het oeuvre van de band. Ook Root Down valt op: deze single verweeft rauwe rappartijen met een funky baslijn en laat goed horen hoe de Beastie Boys hun verschillende invloeden samenbrengen in één track.

Qua productie klinkt het album fris en dynamisch. Naast de leden van de Beastie Boys zelf was producer Mario Caldato Jr. nauw betrokken, wat zorgde voor een stevige, coherente sound die op vinyl nog nadrukkelijker naar voren komt. De heruitgave op 2 LP’s is bovendien geremasterd, waardoor alle genres, samples en instrumenten volledig tot hun recht komen en de nuances beter hoorbaar zijn dan op oorspronkelijke releases in andere formaten.

Ill Communication weerspiegelt de artistieke vrijheid en de speelse, scherpe blik van de groep in de jaren negentig. Het album was commercieel succesvol, sloeg aan bij het brede publiek en geldt binnen de hiphop, maar ook in bredere pop- en rockkringen, als baanbrekend. Dat komt niet alleen door de energieke singles als Sabotage en Sure Shot, maar ook door de breedte aan stijlen en de speelse tekstuele verwijzingen die het gehele werk doordesemen. Het is een album dat, mede dankzij de remaster en de presentatie op twee LP’s, een unieke positie inneemt in de geschiedenis van alternatieve hiphop en genre-overschrijdende popmuziek.

Absolutely Fantastic!
Format: Kindle
Once again M. Sinclair has created another masterpiece! This book was so unlike anything else I have read! It was such a unique twist on a shifter book that I was absolutely compelled from beginning to end. Effie made my heart all warm and fuzzy, she is just such a naturally kind person despite all of the things she has gone through. Her huge heart shines through in all she does. Then their are her mates...protective, caring, and possessive Effie’s mates are just as much attracted and attached as Effie is to them. Their bond is instantaneous and strong. Despite Effie not knowing what to make of it at first and seeing it as to good to be true, her mates take it in totally stride. I love the connections they have all built in such a short period of time. Effie brings a unique dynamic to this group. I am sitting at the edge of my seat waiting to see where this story goes. There are so many questions that that ending left and I genuinely cannot wait for more! I have grown super attached to these characters that more of their story can’t come soon enough!

Pretty decent
Format: Kindle
Not too bad. Pro: Sweet/cute guys Just what I was wanting I liked the characters Cons: #1: it’s gross when a guy is getting hard and thinking about sex while A GIRL IS UNCONSCIOUS AND DYING. If you were in the hospital would you want your boy/girlfriend thinking of having sex with you while you were nearly dead??? No. I think not. That’s gross. Yeah, actually I was gonna rate this 4 starts but I’m making it 3 just because that was literally so gross. They thought about sec at the WORST times. Found myself skipping pages at a time of just them talking to themselves. Would have liked it better if the author showed and not told. Pages and pages of inner monologue. I hate it when they have “mysterious” dreams. Not a fan of huge age gaps. Why was only one of them telepathic?? No clue diff types of wolves. Not explained well and their “abilities”. Why can one not shift??? Didn’t understand the first between the guys where the one ran up to her and looked at her and ran away???? And she literally saw him get out of his truck and then 10 minutes later acted like she had never seen such a nice truck before. Thought she should have been a tiny bit more shy and not holding hands wishing 5 seconds of meeting them. College part is boring. Nothing new. Everyone’s done that. Where’s the plot??? Didn’t understand the stand off with the dad/principle and random guy showing up?? Wow this makes me seem like I hate it but it was good lol. Seems like an authors first book but I don’t think it is. Could be longer with more detail to really get to know everyone. Would have liked a better look at her past. Not past past, but even a week or two before she went to college.

I never learn
Format: Kindle
That plunge and suspense and there's a secret but I'm not telling you.... Dear M. Sinclair, I hate your genius self and the way you do this everything. I'm sucked in and the next thing I know *plunge* its over. Effie Harlow! Effie, Effie, effieeeeeeee omg what a life. I'm amazed at how its only been days.. DAYS in her journey. We get a nice sum of her trials and tribulations at her "Pack" as she's arriving at SFU & as she gets to know her psychos. Love how each of the guys brong something different, you never get the same psycho twice in one grouping. And there is so much to explore in their liveeeeeesssss. likeI want a book going down the rabbit hole of each guys trauma RN! We don't know the mystery of Effie, but M & atleast one of her guys knows. Its interesting seeing the dynamics and the different types of Wolf shifters and then shifters in general. It's a foundation that gives you so much and so little at the same time. It answers certain questions quickish while letting you guessing more. Effies lost memories will be very important on this journey. At first I was hoping the past was what was bringing her to SFU not what really did. A friggin twist and great ive shatterer... (that doesn't sound like a good phrase but litteraly shattered ice bc of it) I just need all of M. Sinclair series to be never ending... I'm finding myself too emotionally invested in all the Gals & psychos. Or better yet a portal leading to a seat in part of her brain where these stories reside with an unlimited supply of 🍿 so I can watch all the adventures unfold. I don't know how I wait for her books... but they are soooo worth the wait weather its months or a year. but if you'd like to slide over the next book next week we won't complain 😉

I read this at a crazy speed!
Format: Kindle
I really like fantasy academia books but I’m really picky about them. This is one I really like! I personally like the insta love in this, i am not a fan of when a MMC is a fated mate but fights it etc. I think that has been over done IMO, so this was refreshing! I liked the world building and the location is giving cozy energy. So far the MMCs are really likeable as well. I will say, there’s a TON of inner thoughts and if moved sloooow. It’s about 280 pages that cover 2 and a half days.. normally I would have given up but I’m having hope that, that was just the laying of the foundation of the book. Hopefully books 2 moves a little faster. I also hope the FMC gets a little more of a back bone, she seems scared of her own shadow and has a pitty me attitude. This is the reason for the 4 stars. I don’t give 3 or less stars unless I personally didn’t enjoy it or won’t read the next one, so the 4 stars is earned. I am invested in the plot and love the writing style and characters. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

Unique Storyline
Format: Kindle
This is a unique storyline so far. It is intriguing and I can’t wait to see what our heroine is and how her mates deal with that knowledge. I hate that there are people who still look at women as nothing more than breeding stock and it makes you wish you had some of the magic here. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
