Indeed...:D

[xkingADROCKx]

oh, sorry, well any other info you can tell me about it??

[PmF]

[fans] can expect to be disappointed, they can expect to be angry at us

Well, this is the news that I don't believe in any way. They are to good to record ANYTHING bad.
Well maybe I'm just too blinded by the Beasties but hey... who cares? :rolleyes:

[Auton]

tt5b lolz

[PmF]

tt5b was a GOOD album, not so solid as the other ones but still, it didn't sucked. But anyway, discussion about it has been made so many times I don't anyone wants to do it again :>.

[cj hood]

i find mike's quote saying 'the fans won't like it' interesting....

[Thundercracker]

i find mike's quote saying 'the fans won't like it' interesting....

i think what he meant was that they might not like it, just as much as they might like it.

[bizmark]

Now that a new album has been confirmed, how about a summer tour in the US? Nothing against overseas shows, but they need to touch homebase.

[Brother McDuff]

In that recent interview with adrock he says they're gonna have an album ready in the next few months, but I've yet to see any Alfredo or Money Mark in the studio yet. Hopefully they're just saving them for the end and haven't abandoned their services for this record. Oh yeah, howsabout a little Mixmaster on this one? Even if it does end up being almost completely insrumental, there's always room for jello.... i mean, turntables. :confused:

[freetibet]

I think Mike's quote about disappointment is as serious as the fact Sasquatch actually kidnapped them in the late 90s or early 2000s...

hony shit! I would have never of known!:rolleyes:

j/k!:D

[MaestroDenis]

I think the Beasties saying 'the fans may not like it' means the current fans may not like it. This to me indicates perhaps they are going back to the Check Your Head/Ill Communication era type shit, and the current fans are mostly made up of cats in their late teens or early twenties and are more used to Hello Nasty and TT5B sample-based computerised sound.

They would have lost quite a fan-base after the epic Paul's Boutique dropped (commercial failure, arthouse success) and even more so when CYH and 'Ill' came out - I mean how does one switch from "Girls' to "Bodhisattva vow", it can't be easy. (I did it) :)

That gave me food for thought. I hope You're right! Check Your Head Revisited, sweeeeeet...

[balohna]

It would be interesting if they made an album without Mixmaster Mike, Money Mark, or any other satellite band members. CYH, IC, and HN are all great (I love each one in a different way and hold them all dear to my heart :rolleyes: ) but ever notice just how many people worked on them?

I was thinking of this too, but maybe they were working in the studio before they set up the cameras and then deciding to put them up during the process at one point? Didn't we hear they were working on the album last July? The cameras started in December I think. Also, didn't Money Mark have something from the studio that he described as "Check Your Head Part II"?

[martijn]

yeah money mark told a website he had some video recordings cyh / ill comm style and that was way before december so maybe they recorded way earlier also.

[Brother McDuff]

Good point, lion. I didn't even consider that they could've been working on this long before the camera surfaced. I feel like a complete idiot, actually.:o

I do remember, though, an interview with Alfredo, not long before the camera was up where he says he was going to be recording on the new album, but when he didn't know.

[Moorish]

I don't know if there's any studio cam evidence to dispute this but I suspect the new album is not going to have any rapping or perhaps even any vocals whatsoever. That would explain Mike's comments.

Just a hunch I had.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: They are going straight up Jazz/Lounge. Obviously the hiphoppers & hardcorers will be dissapointed by that. (!)

Not gonna happen.

I've been thinking about no footage in the vocal booth as well, but then again, they probably aren't showing everything with the studio cam...

There was brief footage of the mic booths with nobody in them.

i believe this.....showing little cam time on the mics is a sign of very little rhyming.......

[Kid Presentable]

Jazz/Lounge isn't the best way to put it though. And Horovitz isn't using a wah pedal in that footage, he's all up and down the fret board. Like rocking out. That and Mike D's beat didn't look too lounge-ish.

[Echewta]

I heard they are doing a covers album of the music that influenced them the most. So while it is a new album, its not new music. Unless a beastie flare is considered new.

normaly vocals are the things bands record the last, when al the instrument stuff is recorded

i bealive this could happen..

[xkingADROCKx]

maybe its an album of instrumentals, or maybe, just maybe... he was being sarcastic!!

[Brother McDuff]

your spot on with that one, marty. if vocals are going to happen, they'll be right near the end.

[pm0ney]

Man, whatever it is I'm praying there will be at least a handful of hip hop tracks.

[Knuckles]

Honestly, I would love that.

[ggirlballa]

hip hop por favor:o

[freetibet]

Wasn't this discussed like 3 years ago?;) [I'd use the search engine to provide a link but the enigine doesn't work for me...]

[camo]

I'm just happy that they're in there doing anything at all to be honest

[Kid Presentable]

Covers would blow. Maybe they could pull it off. Maybe.

[Echewta]

Rumors are rumors but thats what I heard.

Bands tend to do that.

[b i o n i c]

if you're not shitting us, that really would be a KICK ASS idea and would explain a lot of things. hmmm

[Auton]

i would be pretty happy with a very minimal amount of turntablism on the new album; i got really sick of the 2-verse-scratching-1-verse format of TT5B really quick

[LongDuckDong]

I'm just happy that they're in there doing anything at all to be honest

I echo those sentiments(!)

Any chance to experience new Bboys music with my kids at the same time is something I never would have dreamed of back in 1987(!)

:D

Yeah. It'll be an interesting wait.
