New Beastie Boys album

Track List:
1. B For My Name
2. 14th St. Break
3. Suco De Tangerina
4. The Gala Event
5. Electric Worm
6. Freaky Hijiki
7. Off The Grid
8. The Rat Cage
9. The Melee
10. Dramastically Different
11. The Cousin Of Death
12. The Kangaroo Rat

It's an all instrumental album too!! I've been wishing they'd do this for the last two albums! If you didn't know, the Beastie Boys are also exceptional musicians, as can be heard on their previous instrumental tracks on "Check Your Head" and "Ill Communication".

They are getting too old to be busting out the punk/b-boy jams like they were young kids.

I'm looking forward to it!

Oh yeah, they're currently touring through Europe and they're doing some instrumental ONLY shows. Sometimes I sorely wish I was back there!!

Hot!

They did release "Sounds from the way out" aaaaages ago a best of their instrumental stuff from the albums they mentioned.

But i couldn't imagine going to a big stadium or theatre gig and listen to a wholely instrumental gig without wanting to yell "Johnny Ryall" and "Sure shot"

From memory they were doing the instrumental gigs in smaller venues, and festivals that weren't billed as hip-hop.
More arty/funk type things where the boys could get their jazz chops going.

One thing that always will stand out about the Beastie Boys is their diverse range of music and ability.
