How the B-boys made with the freak-freak. 10/10. Five stars. Palme d'or. Give this book all the awards.
Did I love the Beasties before I read this book? Absolutely. Was I a savant of the band? Not at all. Did I learn a lot about the Beasties from this book? Absolutely. Has my love for the Beasties been increased from reading this book? Undoubtedly.
Bought this in print, but ended up buying it again as an Audiobook for our trips to NJ and MI over the past month or two. It was great as an audiobook, even chapters that were mostly pictures had fun narration.. There was one chapter that was literally a list of songs, with no context, that was a bit of a drone, but other than that it was super fun and engaging. I look forward to skimming the book to see some of the illustrations when I get home.
Couldn’t put it down. Incredible.
This was everything I wanted from a music book. Well balanced between personal and practical, never got lost in the woods and changed things up so often it never even hinted at getting boring.
The candour and passion with which everyone speaks of Yauch is really touching, and the time spent on it really makes him seem like the third author through his deeds.
