Seems to be another Solid Gold Hits / Anthology play.

I don't hate bringing their songs to the surface once a decade.
Hoping one day for a Deep Cuts collection release.

Wonder if there will be any treats with this one?

[tjpop]

What a missed opportunity, right?! Like the book and story it could have been things we have NOT seen/heard along with the popular stuff. That would have been exciting.
The good news is that I don't have to spend money on this thing. :D I am a huge fan and don't even want it. I get it this is for newbies only. Hopefully we will see a Coda type release one day for us diehards.

[Taco Zip]

The video says there will be a limited target exclusive color vinyl. It's not on the preorder website. Has anyone got more info on it?

[cj hood]

money grab

[Micodin]

yeah it’s a money grab but i’ll buy it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i dig the album art. appreciate they put the Brooklyn Dust Music logo but i wish the Grand Royal logo was on it as well.

i wish it was a double album.

i just preordered mine at Target. here’s the link

[dave790]

Meh. If they’re gonna do this sort of thing, do it right. Why not just put out a full singles collection over 2 discs?

Obviously no selection will please everyone but Don’t Play No Game should be nowhere near a 20-track release. And if it’s the Fatboy Slim remix of Body Movin’ again, even the coloured vinyl won’t be bought by me!

Good to at least see LTI getting its due. Sad to see TT5B still being shat on - cheers Horovitz!

[Extra Cheese]

Getting panned from all directions lol. They trying to fulfill contractual obligations or something lol? Fan base clamoring for unreleased vault stuff so the label decides instead to give us what we already have.

Maybe the vault stuff really sucks like Horovitz always seems to suggest

this will build into something bigger....

no inside info but this is exactly what i was thinking as i was reading the comments. i feel like this is just the start.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought this. It's literally my least favorite song from their 30 year career. SMH. :confused:

have you heard TT5B yet lol? i kinda like the song. i’m not mad at it. it reminds me of something that would be on Hello Nasty and it’s kinda catchy.

[cj hood]

ya they're back...

[pesto pizza]

The vinyl tracklisting made sense why they picked those 20 songs.
The CD listing should of been in the same order, but added triple trouble and an open letter to new york

[Uru-Nitro]

money grab

It's fair to assume they want to sell records to the new listeners that may have discovered the band with the recent Book and the Story. I don't blame the label for that.

Me myself first bought Hello Nasty, then IC and then the Anthology, which made me want to buy all the rest of the albums.

I haven't bought SGH and if I ever buy this one it would be for the nice shirt, but I don't hate on those records. Unreleased material would be very appreciated though :D

[balohna]

The packaging is nice. Not sure if I care to buy it. SGH at least had a DVD with some videos that weren't on any other DVDs at the time. Back when that kind of thing mattered.

Kind of odd that TT5B only gets one song. It's not most people's favourite album, or mine, but Triple Trouble did okay back then. Probably deserves a spot on a "hits" record more than a bunch of other songs. And if this isn't meant to be a hits record it should probably dip into some of their hardcore stuff, instrumentals, etc. Gratitude isn't even on here. I'd probably include it over Jimmy James. But I guess it's a hard call to drop an actual hit or a hip-hop single and then include like... Sabrosa or Off The Grid.

You're probably right that this has more to do with the label that the band, although that's just a guess. The label wants to make money, and Beastie Boys are no longer a band that can really produce a new album, so why not "cash in" on a new fan base?

It sucks, but business decisions are what labels care about. I mean, I'd love a deep cuts release too, but let's be real: the fan-base that would turn over $35 for a disk containing the original version of Intergalactic and a half hour of stoner jams from 1992 is probably 1% the size of the consumer base who will buy this compilation.

If it gets new fans to buy records, I'm all for it. Plus let's not be jaded everyone. Don't forget that we need to keep new fans purchasing records so that Adam can continue ordering Chinese food and watching judge shows for at least another 4 decades. It's the least we can do after all he's given us.

[dust monkey]

i'm good with money grab, wish i could grab some money this easy.

see link for colored vinyl, send to wife, ask her to use fancy target card, purchase, money given.

[Extra Cheese]

i was getting ready to post that this is no money grab cuz aint no one buying it. But SGH went gold so get that money i guess

[YoungRemy]

Purchasing that multi logo long sleeve shirt was the easier decision I made in a while

[dave790]

The vinyl tracklisting made sense why they picked those 20 songs.

Yeah only just realised they’ve gone chronological for the vinyl but mixed it up for the cd/digital. Probably the most interesting thing about this compilation.

[dust monkey]

yea grabbing the FACT. X BEASTIE BOYS CASSETTES hoodie ($$$) at the book show was pretty much a no brainer. but i gotta tell you i've had more people comment on this than any other piece of clothing ever. not to mention how delightfully warm and comfy it is.

[Monsieur Decuts]

ya they're back...

Part of the reason I jumped in here to post this was in hope that you'd fire off a couple replies like the ones in this thread showing some hope for light to continue to shine on the boys. I have lowered expectations for knock me out type surprises, but love that they find ways to stay fresh and serve up the cool

Now you're talking.

[FrozenMetalHead]

The next release will be the one we've been waiting for....

Could this be a release that happens before the end of the year?

[cj hood]

no

[Jiberish]

I'm with you. It's totally catchy. When HSCPII first came out I remember saying to myself that the album sounded to me like it could have been the "lost" album between IC & HN.

I don't get the hate for that song.

[Monsieur Decuts]

The next release will be the one we've been waiting for....

anything brewing for us cj hood?

[cj hood]

anything brewing for us cj hood?

A lot was planned before the pandemic, but they suffer from short term memory....

[bigfatlove06]

Hey CJ. I don't expect you to do anything other than what you do. Meaning I have no expectations. I like reading your posts and speculating as to what they might or might not mean. I can't say that I have learned much, if anything, about what is to come from the Beastie camp from you. Most of what you post is cryptic and really only provides what amounts to me as a wish list. You do have a gift for throwing out extremely vague nuggets here and there that wind up being accurate. As long as you want to throw them out I will enjoy trying to figure out what they mean. The picture you paint as I see it is that you can't say much because you are in the know. I can only weigh that against the possibility that you don't know much and you are speculating. If you sum it all up, you don't break news. You specialize in teases, which may or may not come to pass. When they do, you get credit for vague insinuations. When they don't you retain credibility with generalizations like "before the pandemic".

I really do like you and your posts. If you know something, though, stop trying to drop clever hints to those who will seek to interpret them to mean something as opposed to just telling us what you know. I haven't learned shit from you other than you guess right a fair bit. Sorry if it is an unearned criticism, but it is a genuine perspective.

last time i was specific i got a call from ian rodgers and a meeting with john silva.......if you can't connect the dots then i can't help you.......irregardless (not a real world), nothing is on the horizon....

[Kid Presentable]

I just wanna say cj hood is the man.

[dust monkey]

sometimes feel like we're in that aintitcoolnews phase

which btw if there are any movie nerds like me there is a new pod called download that documents the rise and fall of aicn and harry knowles, it's fantastic

That's Fair. I can't connect the dots. So those were just my thoughts. You have been on this board longer than I have, so I assume you are familiar with people saying what they want and garnering responses. It isn't a slight on your character or credibility. Good luck with working out the kinks with John and Ian.

[bigfatlove06]

Haha! look who's talking! :D

I'm just a fan with no connections to the Beastie camp. I just collect stuff. (y)

You’re soooo vague that it’s actually sooo accurate. You just fuck with us, hardly say anything real, probably know nothing but nothing against you of course! I love you’

What happened was me telling Hood that everything he posts is so vague it isn't useful to me. I don't think hes the worst or the best. His info isn't useful. I think you summed it up nicely.

Here is a tip for everybody, tomorrow the sun will come up and it may rain. I respect him for his time in the game, but whatever info he provides lacks particulars, so what is it good for?

If he knows something he can't tell us, ok. If he wants to hint at it, ok. If I want to say his hints aren't useful because I don't know what he even means, not ok?

[dust monkey]

i don't know a whole lot about this Q thing, not the star trek Q but the burn american down Q. that said, i imagine this would be the equivalent of a Q-drop on those chan message boards. hood-drop. CJ-drop. it's not quite as catchy but i can imagine all those wackadoos scrambling after a Q-drop to "connect the dots" as CJ would say, like we do with him.

of course we're not cosplay capital erectionist's, our numbers have dwindled and we pose little threat to anyone but ourselves perhaps.

no harm intended to any Q's though i would mean all the disrespect, though i can't imagine anyone here would be on that shit.

[Extra Cheese]

I soooooo hope it’s yet another compilation with the usual track list of brass monkey, so what cha want, intergalactic, shake your rump, sabotage, root down(y)

[bigfatlove06]

For anyone who can connect the dots better than I can, here is a summary of all the comments that Hood has posted in this thread.

I can't make anything substantial out of it, but I'm sure that is because I don't function at a high enough level to differentiate statements designed to tease versus inform.

[Extra Cheese]

here is a summary of all the comments that Hood has posted in this thread.

All those comments are responses though. You’re acting as if he started the post and just wrote gibberish. He might have some threads like that I don’t know. But you’re having trouble “connecting the dots” on his opinion when he responds “money grab” to a post about another compilation?

I really do like you and your posts.

If you like CJ’s posts then what’s going here.

[bigfatlove06]

Nothing is going on other than me trying to take whatever he posts and trying to coalesce it into something meaningful to me. I've failed so far, but I enjoy making the effort to do so because it might actually result in me coming to understand what's coming next.

[Micodin]

this is starting to get into the creepy cyberstalking and entitlement territory with all these unprovoked attacks. i expect pretty soon homeboy is going to start writing Stan letters and locking Hood in the truck of his car.

Sorry man. I don't want to put out that vibe. I don't feel entitled, or intend to attack anyone. If you or anybody else gets that impression, then I'll be glad to tone it down. Anything specific that I need to do to prevent you or others from feeling like I am a creepy Stan just let me know.

[facedownfall]

For what it’s worth, I’m pretty damn sure they are done releasing stuff that we don’t already own. I do love the updated t-shirts in the store.

Next release:
TT5B (20th anniversary)
Ill Communication 30th anniversary (2024)
The In Sounds From Way Out - 4LP 180 gram vinyl reissue
Aglio E Olio cassette edition
The Mix-Up 4 LP remastered (2027)
Hello Nasty 30th anniversary (2028)
The Sounds of Science re-remastered (2029)

[Late-Night Lion]

Beastie Boys are my favorite band of all time. I have a Beastie Boys tattoo on my arm. I still check this board occasionally for hints of any new releases, stuff from the vault, etc. So thanks for the hints CJ Hood, I hope something comes of it someday. It's a bummer if they planned on doing stuff and then just scrapped it, but seems par for the course since MCA's passing unfortunately.

[cj hood]

Well I was wrong...keep your eye on that horizon. #2019

Next month.

[facedownfall]

Next month.

My guesses for the #2019 mention

Blu-Ray/DVD release of Beastie Boys Story (filmed in 2019)
20th anniversary re-release of The Sounds of Science (1999):
4LP Set Regular Edition
Deluxe Edition - 5 LP Set featuring tracks from The Vault

Paul's Boutique B-Sides 30th Anniversary (1989)
Bundt Cake and Lost Tapes: Hot Sauce Committe Pt. 1 (2009)

Others:
The Re Mix-Up
The Gala Event DVD/CD
AIFST Official Audio CD/LP

[ClarenceAlabama]

Next month.

Since the #2019 was a clue, and they did the "Beastie Boys Story" live shows in 2019... I'm guessing it has something to do with live shows.

I'm hoping they announce a return to doing live concerts, but I expect it to be an official release on a live album.

[tuc70021]

Next month? December?


It's gonna be a remastered release of Country Christmas as a 180 gram vinyl single with an accompanying book of commentary and an iron-on sheriff's badge that says "Readin' You the News." Trust me.

Why not just put that out on RSD Black Friday?!

Also, it was never officially released to the public so “remastered and officially released” 12” single - only plays on Side A. Side B features etched artwork of Country Mike himself.

Next month.

Ah we have our answer - next month’s Beastie Boys Exhibit
