Commentary:
Beastie Boys
"Our rehearsal room is in fact underground, a basement room with no fresh air and it smells pretty bad in there" - Michael Diamond, 1998 on the "Dungeon" recording space
Press & Print Media:
"...the Beasties let a booming jeep beat drop away while they chant "On and on, on and on..." until the bass returns, transformed into the kind of sternum-thumping hum that would make Roni Size jealous" - Entertainment Weekly, 1998
"...creeps along on little more than some crushing beats and a scratchy subsonic bass line; it holds you with the shout-along hook celebrating BBoys and BGirls rockin' 'on and on the the break of dawn' " - The Worcester Phoenix, 1998
"...ups the ante, inserts a harpsichord break and samples a swinging Mexican number next to a bass drop that's certain to destroy at least a few speakers." - Creative Loafing, August 29, 1998
