Having long since shed their image as hip-hop's clown princes, the Beastie Boys now bring what feels like their emeritus recording, a celebratory instrumental memoir of all of the influences (except punk) that brought them to their secure place among hip-hop's fickle elite. The party opens with the aptly titled "B for My Name," its plodding bounce staking claim to the mid-tempo path the album treads almost throughout. "14th St. Break" picks up the pace, especially in the auxiliary percussion breakdown, complete with rally whistle. Then, beginning with "Suco de Tangerina," the album drops into a deep groove cut from dub- and dancehall-tinged ostinati that carry through a full third of its tracks. Among these, "The Gala Event" suffers from a lack of developmental motion that characterizes many of these tracks, but highlights still abound. "Off the Grid," for example, departs from the otherwise unbreakable chill and rips the proceedings wide open, blooming again and again in a series of pulsing riffs that celebrate the very institution of the instrumental groove. More than 20 years since Licensed to Ill took a long, irreverent piss into the mainstream, it seems you can still fight for your right to party. --Jason Kirk

The Mix-Up is Beastie Boys' first-ever full album of all-new instrumental material. The follow-up to 2004's To The 5 Boroughs, The Mix-Up features Diamond, Horovitz and Yauch back on drums, guitar and bass, with able assistance from Keyboard Money Mark and percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, on 12 brand new wordless, sample-less, scratchless originals. Sure to please fans of the instrumental cuts from Check Your Head and Ill Communication and the cult hit compilation album made up largely of those tracks, The In Sound From Way Out!, The Mix-Up finds NYC's favorite sons drawing on one of their arsenal's primary strengths and pushing it into bold new directions.

 Beasties have just jumped the shark June 18, 2008

The Besties have abandoned their strengths and are now playing pretend in the deep end of the pool. Take a listen to Medeski Martin and Wood, or Garaj Mahal. In the vernacular, they are now biting some styles, and the result is WACK. As a hip hop crew, they are untouchable, as a funky jazz combo, they're a joke.

Up until a few weeks ago, I never listened to the Beastie Boys. Then it started with "No Sleep Till Brooklyn", and I then got "Hello Nasty" and "To the 5 Boroughs"
I'll leave my reviews on those for the actual products, but I also got ahold of this one, and I didn't know it was all instrumental.
But listening to it, it's a completely different sound from typical Beastie Boys hip hop. IT'S TEH FUNK? None of the songs peak to a level of extreme emotion, as its more of a laidback album, but the songs regularly go from catchy beats to genuinely well-made and good sounding tracks, making for a great, tame, casual sound. This coming from someone whose musical tastes involve Ayreon, Iced Earth, Rammstein, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails, Orphaned Land, Nightwish, System of a Down, etcetera.
 All Instrumental, don't buy if you're a beginner February 21, 2008

As stated before, this album is made up 12 original instrumental songs, but I mean go listen to a Beethoven or Mozart record for instrumental music we want the Rapcore-style music that the Beastie Boys became famous for way back in the mid-1980's. This doesn't even sound like the Beastie Boys, either. It's got a very strong Funk/Reggae overtone.
I give it a 2.5 .
BUY THIS if you've been into the Beastie Boys since at least the 90's, and.or have a Beastie Boys collection, but if this will be your first Beastie Boys album, and/or you've just got into them, don't even bother. You'll question how people can like them. This is not the stuff that influenced Rage Against The Machine.
However, if you're into the B.B.'s, I reccommend checking out:
Rage Against The Machine
Limp Bizkit
Faith No More

I can't get enough of this album! I have listened to it over and over. I have been a huge fan of the Beastie Boys since back in the day and still love their last instrumental album, "The In Sound from Way Out." So, when I heard that they had put out another, I couldn't order it fast enough! A must have for anyone's collection.
