About

<b>100 Best Albums</b> If <i>Licensed to Ill</i> was the frat party, <i>Paul’s Boutique</i> was the tall tale: a sprawling, psychedelic joke so delightful in the telling that the punchline ceased to matter. The band was in LA now, doing LA things: swimming (the rental mansion had a bridge over the pool), hobnobbing, and cruising around (Adam Yauch’s new car, an early 1970s Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d’Elegance, was outfitted with a digital tape player to listen to rough mixes—unheard of at the time). And instead of the boxy, minimalistic grid of <i>Licensed to Ill</i>, you had LA’s winding road, a Möbius strip of funk and soul samples (stitched together by producers the Dust Brothers) shaded by Seussian tree. .
