"This is a really good 11 minutes 8 seconds of music. It's short, to the point, and hits you in the head like Mark McGwire smashes a baseball. Remember this in not a hip hop album, it's a hardcore EP. Although it's not as good as say, Minor Threat or the "Damaged" days of Black Flag, it's still good hardcore music, better than almost anything that passes for punk these days (hey Green Day, Offspring, or any of you other Southern California "power pop" bands take a listen, you might learn something). If you don't like your music hard, buy another B-Boy album. But if you yearn for early 1980s hardcore music, this is worth the 4 bucks!"
Awesome

"these guys weren't always great hip-hop/rap artists...this album shows that...instead they were once great punk artists...this album is great. although the import gives you only one extra track - soba violence, otherwise the cd would cost 6 bucks...so in effect you are paying 17 bucks for 1:30 minutes, but it's worth it if you are a true fan like me!"
Great crossover!

"This CD is only 11 miniutes long, but it feels like more. This type of music sounds like mid 80's punk, but it's still good. The name of the CD, "Aglio E Olio" means Garlic and Oil in Italian."
Great Punk

"This album is punk at its best. Any true Beastie Boys fan should have this in their collection. All the tracks are awesome. The CD is sadly lacking "Soba Violence" which appears on the import."
If you like their "punk" rock tracks, you'll love this!!

"This EP includes 8 new punk rock-style songs from one of the most innovative groups of the 90's. Although the songs are relatively short (the entire EP runs at just over 11 minutes), they are all full of the energy and creativity that only the Beastie Boys can create. I give this EP four stars"
