I reckon what will happen after the release of the new album will be pretty much the same as after PB came out. To us die hard Beastie fans whatever they do never truly surprises us, we know deep down they do what they want and how they want. People that were into them before TT5B will still understand why they have gone in another direction with The Mix up. The people who got into them on the back of TT5B and have none of there previous stuff will be floored by this new album, pretty much what happened when they dropped LTI..loads of people went out and bought it, then they bought out PB, and it flopped because most people were expecting much of the same stuff as before...it truly only got the credit it deserved many years later, when people started to understand what it was all about. In my opinion, if this album follows suit on the previous stuff they have done, in time, the people that might hate on it when it comes out, will be the same people who say in a few years.." oh yeah, the mix up..a classic ". I was one of the people when PB came out and thought this aint what I want from the Beastie Boys..but many moons past, and now I truly admire what they have done over the years.
