in celebration of beastie boys' 24th anniversary, capitol records has suddenly decided to pay tribute to their second (or perhaps even third) best band with a greatest hits record. this sick ass 15-track compendium distills the nyc trio's storied career into a very friendly friend format: it makes it's way from the early years - 'no sleep 'til brooklyn' and 'fight for your right' through the mid 'grand royal' period - 'shake your rump', 'so what'cha want' and 'sabotage' and right into recent years - 'ch-check it out', 'an open letter to nyc' and 'triple trouble'.
