    Not a fan of hip-hop, but this CD (and indeed most anything with Dan The Automator involved) is great, but no Deltron 3030. Once again, note that Pitchfork drags the score down again...

  1. These two guys are good on the turntables and production, and they've got some stellar hip hop and rock guests. Check out this collaboration, one of the few hip-hop albums that I truly think is a must-have.
  2. 'So ... How's Your Girl?' is precision-tooled to amuse the Beastie Boys, for sure. But it also harbours a wit and dexterity that not only represents the usual cliquey extended family, but also manages to transcend them.
  3. "So ..." is one of the most innovative albums of the year, stretching the gamut of every musical genre that melts in your head, not in your mouth.
