I found this on some VENTURE webste.


4. Beastie Boys, "Off the Grid" - Another track from The Mix-Up, the Beastie Boys' upcoming contractual-obligation album. [Idolator]


i think they wanted to do this...so hmm.

I love hearing and forgetting about urls I never wanna go...:cool:

[Brother McDuff]

i could see them dropping this lp out of having to honor their contract, but obviously they had the freedom to make whatever music they wanted.

Is this really their last album under their current contract?

I remember shortly after Hello Nasty came out (actually probably more like 2000) that they had signed with Capitol to do 3 more albums (and I don't know if SGH counts as one... I don't think it does) so technically I guess you could call it a contractual obligation, though clearly Capitol doesn't hold them to any sort of time frame. I think referring to it as a "contractual obligation album" is strange and misleading.

the anthology was a contractual obligation album. this is something something they composed in the studio and are going on tour to support.

the website was just trying to be funny because doing an instrumental albums is thought of as being self indulgent.
