New Cover Art

[Michelle*s_Farm]

So what does everyone think of the cover art for The Mix-Up?

New Cover (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=112365411&blogID=259205183&MyToken=589a01e0-520e-43e8-94de-0cad915193bb)

I can't see it for some reason :(

[midzi]

yeah cheers dude.

Well, if it's a fake then someone has spent a lot of time and effort with it.

I would have liked to have seen an illustrated version of the boys and not some lazy 'threshold' effort.

Nice type though.

[Laver1969]

It looks pretty creative. Reminds me of a Dr. Seus contraption.

[BeastieAlbum07]

is it posted anywhere else?

I can't see it for some reason :(

Fake.

No "Jazz Odysey"

[MaestroDenis]

The cover is cool but it's fake.

[senbei]

It came with a tracklist
http://soundopinions.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=11073

Ain't convinced about this being legit...

[camo]

The cover is cool but it's fake.

how do you know.

c'mon reasons!

[midzi]

Now we should make a poll who believes it is true.

I'm a bit lost to be honest. I choose not to trust anyone at this point.

[roosta]

i think its fake, mainly cuz of the pictures of the b-boys, for some reason. I dont know why

but it looks good.

[Mr Films]

omg! get it? Like, it's like, they're totally gonna get MIXED UP in that contraption!!!!111!!!1111111111222

holy shit! clever!

yeah, I've graduated to hoping this is fake.

[Friis gal]

I wouldn't get dissapointed if it was the real thing, but yauch's hand looks to weird.

[buddmonkey]

Real or not its pretty cool looking.... It kinda reminds me of a Beatle album artwork.... Maybee this will be their "Revolver"......

[Lo_Lyfe]

It looks cool. I always like seeing the name of the band re-imagined.

[mistressf]

i think its fake, mainly cuz of the pictures of the b-boys, for some reason. I dont know why

but it looks good.

exactly. it would've been cool and believable if there wasnt that crappy pic badly photoshopped and pasted there.

anyway as midzi said, at this point i choose not to trust anything or anyone. we'll see

[YoungRemy]

Fake.

No "Jazz Odysey"


this has nothing to do with the cover.
this has already been covered, at length...

Mke D's "Jazz Odyssey" shoutout was a reference to Spinal Tap

oh and if the album cover is real, then I like it (y)

[cutter]

I like the use of images for the font

[tjpop]

god if you loved me please let this be fake.

oh shit, maybe Yauch's little daughter made it?..and so if then I take it back. it's cool.

[abcdefz]

I actually like that. It looks like a CD single, though, but I like it.

[djB]

I really like the artwork.
It's very good that they are doing an instrumental LP.

Looking at that track list, it's nice of them to do the first song about me:eek: :p :D :)

[b i o n i c]

that cover is WACK and its FAKE. dummies. even tpk thinks so

[YoungRemy]

that cover is WACK and its FAKE. dummies. even tpk thinks so

well then tpk or minton should come on and squash this rumore like they did one MR JUICY JOHNSON

throw us a frickin bone here guys....

the message board has turned into an insane asylum!

[b-grrrlie]

In a way I doubt that's the real thing. I don't think they'd be using a "used" promo pic for an album cover. BUT that is a promo company so it could be true...
I thought of Beatles' Yellow Submarine at first glance, also Professor Balthazar brings to mind! :D

[DIGI]

Very Beck-ish. I dig it. "This is fake!!/That is fake!!" You know what isn't fake?? The fact that all of you D-bags that keep saying this shit are fags. Just shut the fuck up and wait to find out when it's released instead of annoying the hell out of everybody.

Please and thank you.

[MC Boulangerie]

Pretty good fake.

[countrymikedj]

Tough to tell if it's legit or not. Looks kinda cheesy..but I do see Yauch's Ampeg bass......and that little green monster looks like the drawings from the O-scope page

[Jmoney77]

its very yellow submarine

[mathcart]

I like the use of images for the font
just what I was thinking- fake or not thats kinda dope
:)

[balohna]

the picture bothers me because it has no perspective. it would be a lot of work to put into a fake though and it looks pretty cool.

[brooklyndust]

I actually like that. It looks like a CD single, though, but I like it.

yeah, and it has the words "off the grid" on it. so it could be a single for that.

like i said before, i don't know if they would use there promo pic in the cover

[cypressphil]

Its a bit Monty Python-esque as well.

Lots of instrument in there too, but no mics. But I guess there wouldnt be if its an instrumental album.

[kleptomaniac]

whoever designed the cover must know i have a thing for yauch's hands - it looks like he's reaching out to us :o

[dave790]

I think it looks really cool. Like it a lot. Almost hope it is the cover, but we'll have to wait and see. I can't see how anyone is gonna find out until someone or something with known authority announces shit (i.e. the website or mod) - But hey, I think it looks cool and deserves to be looked at regardless.

[MIKEtotheD]

Even if it ends up being a fake cover, I still think it's pretty cool.

[kleptomaniac]

http://mic-to-mic.blogspot.com/2007/04/beastie-boys-new-album-cover.html

[dave790]

Cheers for that but I can't actually see it? Presume it's the same one yeah?

[kleptomaniac]

Cheers for that but I can't actually see it? Presume it's the same one yeah?

yeah, it was just there a second ago! :p

[acamus]

What happened to the pic? It says it's currently unavailable? Did Capitol/the Boys have it removed? Give it back!

[dave790]

Yeah I assumed so, wonder why. It's interesting M posted it though, because the post seems to refer to it as the actual cover - unless she jumped the gun from what she saw here and has since changed her mind hence taken it down - which I doubt. Who's Zoe Rogers by the way?

[YoungRemy]

just go the blog linked in the first post of this thread... it was posted here last night in the "new album has lyrics" thread by popflier, who works with Capitol and knows someone here on the board...

"Shout to Ian and Zoe"- Iancrogers posted the interview with Mike d last week, Zoe is his daughter who has podcasts every once in a while and is mentioned in the aforementioned interview... look up ian on beastiemania

but we already know that she likes the album... this was already mentioned... what I would like to hear is what respected members of this community have to say about this album

[tjpop]

yeah, it was just there a second ago! :p

conspiracy! oohhh. suspicious! aahhh..

[dave790]

what I would like to hear is what respected members of this community have to say about this album

yeah i'm interested in that

[senbei]

It's kinda cool that they've integrated the Oscilloscope logo to that funky machine ;)

[Funkyfreshgrape]

is this really it???

[kleptomaniac]

is this really it???

yep

[ggirlballa]

i like, reminds me of the cover for hello nasty

[acamus]

I just had fun with art! I made the album cover my desktop background and streched it to fit the screen horizontally. I'm loving the distortion it creates in their rasta artwork. I and I, yum!

[acamus]

I know, we should all sing to it/rap to it/speak words to it and send it in to some kind of contest. The prize: a copy of the follow-up disk with all the winners performing on it. It'll be like Beastie Idol. Uhhh, like that would rule or something. Uhh ... huh, hum. Yeah. Or we could just make it have vocals of our own. How about them Duke boys make a follow-up out snippets and words of the voices sent in laid down over their groovy instrumentals. Now it's like table tennis. Mod. Get away from me you nasty house fly.

Wow! That's awesome, I love it!!!(y)

[cj hood]

i like the cover art.....i'll probably burn my copy......but its cool nonetheless........

[BeastieAlbum07]

Why not buy and support the 'Boys?

[pm0ney]

I like the cover art a lot.

[cj hood]

Why not buy and support the 'Boys?

i didn't buy their other nonhiphop releases.....i won't buy this one either.......someone will send me a copy......i'll give it the 'industry listen' once.......then it'll sit on the floor of my car til it gets its yearly cleaning......

[BeastieAlbum07]

LOL

I should try that because this should be a lyrical album.

[pshabi]

LOL

I should try that because this should be a lyrical album.

The "instrumental" album is going to release, you'll buy it, and listen to it. Then, you'll still swear there are lyrics on it.

[BeastieAlbum07]

It would be nice if it was a double disc set with instrumental on one and lyrics on the other.

[gorilla]

off the grid

You are most definitely a strict hip hip purist cj hood. You probably have never bought a Clash, Blondie or the Ramones album either -- may be I am wrong.

Seriously though how can an artist make good hip hop if they do not listen to other genres of music (rhetorical question). Digging the crates is critical for hip hop I always thought (e.g. listening to Kraftwerk was presumably a useful thing back in the day, no?).

Regardless, to each his own. I doubt I will ever convince you otherwise.

[Brother McDuff]

yeah, i like how the Echoplex is in there too. as well as Yauch's ampeg and Horovitz's guitar.

although i do like Blondie.....i dont' own any records by those bands you mentioned.....but i do listen to all types of music......for example, i like Weezer a lot.....own all of their records.....but if they put out a hiphop album (ie something they're not known for)........i wouldn't buy it.......

Weezer doin' hip hop does sound nasty.

I hope you like the new Beastie's effort. I think it will be a creative year for the band considering the quality of the new Bad Brains track produced by Yauch called Universal Peace.

I didn't know what that was until you pointed it out. (y) my question is: where in some of the Beasties songs do you hear it being used? or is that too difficult? sorry I failed music class, never mind biology..

thanks bro!

[birdfloatindown]

I love the cover! I can't wait until the album comes out.

[Brik@Brak]

Funny and creative!(y)
when i see the sausage-fingers of MCA, i think " the mix up "
gonna be the perfect music for a BBQ party this summer!!!!

i think a considerable amount of the delays used on Hello Nasty were made with the Echoplex. Don't know when they first started using it though. i'd put down money that all of the delays on tt5b were digital delays, considering the majority of that album was done "in the box", including the mixing.

judging by the plex on the cover of TMU, i can only assume it gets its share of use on the album.

"sound sounds sweeter throught the Echoplex, it'll spin you around and throw you in a hex" -Negotiation Limerick File

Considering there's mad delay on that line, i'd say it's safe to say that song is a good example of what an echoplex delay sounds like.

good day to you, kind sir.:)

[a.k.a me]

I hope they have a change of heart in the last minutes. :rolleyes.


It's alright, looks more like a single, ep and/or booklet image than an actual album cover, though.

[Brik@Brak]

But who made this cover art?
i'm very curious to know it...

[daniella405]

dude!! its really good im a illustrator my self and its a pretty hot piece perfect for the beasties!
