"Beastie Boys Music is an exciting and thrilling greatest hits package that surpasses that of 2005's Solid Gold Hits. It serves as a needless reminder to just how fun and stupidly brilliant the band was, and ultimately how much emptier the world seems since the unexpected and tragic passing of Adam Yauch in 2012. That being said, in the age of expanded collections, it would be nice to hear some demos, unreleased tracks, and rarities".
