1033. Beastie Boys - Alive (Single) [Disc 1]

OK - here's where things for me at least really started to turn for the band. And by turn I mean sour. Alive was a new track from their greatest hits disc. It is the plainest, most basic song - instrumentaly, lyrically and hip hoppaly - it sounds like chad and I hired jaime blair for the beats and brad for the lyrics and then we just rapped it in one take... it is simply uninspiring. It also includes "You + Me Together" and "Big Shot (Live)" - which is the only reason I'm keeping this - a Billy Joel cover that isn't good, but is interesting.
