working on a new album to what degree?

adrock makes beats all the time......but until they're all in the studio together, they're not makin shit!

[Chicka B]

YES YES YES! He said they're working on it, so who cares! YES! :D

[laurie_hammy]

Hmmm I doubt this is true but if it is then AWSOME. And if it were another album it will be something like "aglio e olio" like I doubt they are working on a NEW FULL album. Why doesn't this kind of news get let out in magazines an shit, but not on the actually Bboys website ? Adrock sure is keep busy with music, but what about Mike and Yauch, where they at ? Especially Mike ? We know Yauch is making donuts and playing xbox, but Mike, where you at ?

I'll take this as good news. Activity in the studio is a good thing.

But...I remember MMM talking beats hatching and shit 3 or 4 years before TT5B came out.

Some scan this article and post it!!!

[Extra Cheese]

at the end of the recent news segment on mtv the announcer said they were working on a new album but its in the very,very,very,very,very,very,very,very, early,early, early, early, early, early stages.

which means this

Adam H.: want to work on a new album?

Mike D: I guess so, but I have to buy some spinach first. What do you think Adam?

Adam Y: yeah why not,, or we can play some basketball.

all 3 : good idea.... (the idea of a new album now gets lost somewhere and wont be brought back up for another year)

I think you hit the nail on the head with that one lol

They don't have this issue here yet. :(

I found this on NME site

Beastie Boys: "We wanted to join the ranks of Elton John"
New Yorkers ready career-spanning greatest hits
The Beastie Boys are set to release a new best of compilation - and unlike previous collections this one is unashamedly the trio's "greatest hits".

'Solid Gold Hits' charts the band's career from the teenage angst of tracks like '(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)', to the more politically charged recent material like 'An Open Letter To NYC'.

Despite their own website suggesting the band are marking their 24th year together with the album which is released on November 7, Adrock told NME.COM it's more about cementing the band's status.

"Twenty-four would be a strange number, 25 would make sense," he declared, adding envy was the true motivation behind the collection. "We wanted to join the ranks of Elton John, Steve Miller, Kenny Loggins, Cher. We figured it was about time for us to be with them."

However when not coveting John's wealth and friendship with David Beckham, the Beastie Boys confirmed that they have begun working on a follow-up up to 2004's 'To The 5 Boroughs', though don't expect the band to beat the five years plus it usually takes them to produce a record.

"We have so much already done," explained Mike D of the sessions that are taking place in New York. "It's just not realised. The conception stage is one 100 per cent done, finished, put to bed. To actually realise that is a little different..."

'Solid Gold Hits' is released on November 7.

I still think "Beastie's Working On A New Album" should be news that goes to the Beastie Boys site FIRST.

[balohna]

What would they put on the page?

"Beastie Boys working on new album!

They have started recording a new album... that's it"



Anyways, good news. I think they have the itch early this time, probably in 2 years we'll see another album.

No more like "Beasties in the VERY early stage of a new album."

I agree because there was extra material from the TT5B's sessions that did not make the 'cut'. If they re-work that material and add some new stuff they could easily have a polished album for release by June 2007. Since the industry these days has changed so much with technology and fan expectations the Beasties will likely step up their output. Not necesssarily to please the fans per se but more to show they are still actively in the game and up to date with the latest time-saving gadgets.

It was funy I thought Hello Nasty was too long back in 1998 and TT5B was too short last year. Now I would take a Hello Nasty length this time around, I know the boys have it in them. I wonder if they will continue to work with Duro or perhaps move on. Dan Snaith (aka Manitoba, Caribou) would be a great producer for them to collaborate with on the next LP.

Here is an interview with Snaith if you do not know who he is:

haha I'm loving the pessimism in general here, I think this is great news! I'm seriously expecting a late 2006/early 2007 release. I knew the Oscilloscope stuff was leading up to something. This is so cool :D

Just with that, it probably depends on what direction they go in music wise. Without digressing into TT5B too much it's fair to say its a consistent hip hop record throughout, beats and raps. I think it's length is suited, whereas with say Hello Nasty or any of the 90's records, the diversity going on means they can stretch it out over say 20 tracks. I think the 22 tracks on Hello Nasty represent and justify what they're doing at the time, and the 15 on TT5b do too.

[gaselite]

definitely true ^ I have to say, I reckon the lengths of the albums have been perfectly suited to the style of music throughout.

I like the idea. However, this argument will hinge a bit on the average length of a hip hop album (I do not know the stats). Old school hip hop LP's may have been shorter than more modern stuff (?) which contains long skits, remixes, bonus tracks etc. Regardless here is an article on CD lengths over the 'ages'. It is somewhat funny / interesting.

haha cheers for that :)

Here's the scan of the article:

I like the photo ! Adrock and Yauch look sort of hello nasty era...but...a hammer has been introduced into the equation. why the hammer ? yauch tightening up the backboard ??

ANYWAY, this is really great news. Mike D was sayin something about trying to release an album much quicker next time, I guess this guy means what he says. straight up guy!

[laurie_hammy]

[ragdoll_92]

Oh right it said something about how they got fans to film bits from the madison show and they reckon its called "Fuck, I shot that!" but I dont know what truth there is to this. I personally wouldnt trust the enemy as far as I can spit but then thats not very far! I didnt buy it so I'll have to check next time I venture to the shops. Oh they said it out next year we already knew anyways
That any help?

"Fuck I Shot That". That'd be pretty funny but I doubt they will call it that. Thanks for the info ragdoll (y)

[timmie]

Next year would be great. Dont forget IC only took a few months to record & its one of my favorites!! so who knows!!

Word, Agree with everything in the post mate (y)

[ragdoll_92]

Ah no probs folks. I like to help sometimes but not to often. Dont want people thinking I'm too nice

[Justin]

I would really love another new album, but its not important.

I just want them on TOUR!!! Raising money for monks, midgets, midzi, or Miramanee I dont even care. Just TOUR damn it!

[jennyb]

So I got a theory...

Whilst in the studio slaving away for many years the Beastie Boys came up with a jillion beats and ditties. They decided to pluck all the more hip-hop sounds to compile TT5B. Plenty of other tracks are probably lying about all piecemeal and they need to tighten the bolts on them suckas and voila'... release another album. The B side... 'And Then I' comes to mind... that track sure didn't have any of the same feel as others of late. Obviously there were other influences than old skool around. Why the forming of Oscilloscope? I have such a good feeling about this. :D
