Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

This audiobook is amazing.

my preordered print copy arrived in the mail today but kinda wishing i’d gone for the audio version now ;_;

I bought the book because it's an amazing archive with photos and a comic and a cookbook (!) but I knew I wanted to hear them tell the stories so I got the audiobook from the library.

I ordered the book today

Mike d’s enunciation reminds me of Mitch hedberg

Adrock’s “back in my day” chapter (5?) Almost gets it right with the pencil and cassette but misses the trick of inserting the pencil in the gear and then spinning it around for super manual FF / REW

Did you really use a pencil... or was it a pen?

this book is great, many lolz

This is one of the best audiobooks I've listened to in years. Makes me wonder what other music bios would have been vastly improved by hearing that email author narrate them.

Also, it's criminal that no one voted for Jarvis Cocker. His chapters were priceless.

Cosign on both of the above statements, I have a very long driving commute nowadays and this audiobook is making it fly by, utterly brilliant apart from the recipes, which I had to skip past after 5 mins, would have voted for Jarvis.

After listening to the entire thing, it's best just to hear from Mike D and Ad Rock, followed by the good actors (Buscemi et al), with LL Cool J having a very enthusiastic star turn.

LL Cool J, Jarvis Cocker and Rosie Perez were my non-Beasties favorites. gtfo Maddow and Stewart!!

The book was really good especially in the early NYC worldbuilding chapters, but lost a lot of steam in the last quarter or so. You do really end up feeling Yauch's absence, I badly wanted his perspective on a lot of the events.

I got a laugh out of Better Midler reciting the phone call intro from "The Maestro."
