Good shit

[YoungRemy]

I'm not sure about the cover art, that's my inner Beastie Skeptic speaking.

[laurie_hammy]

Agree, this is def the most news had all at once since iv been a Beastie an since iv been on the boards.

[Thunder D]

The album cover is showing up on many websites, including Rolling Stone. With the death of LP's, and CD's, there really isnt any cool cover art coming out. What a shame.

links?

The title, release date and complete track listing for Beastie Boys’ eighth studio album have been confirmed: Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 will be released September 15

that's from their PR site, so until I see a confirmation I'm not buying an album with that cover:cool:

[Thunder D]

Remy,

I just googled some of the track titles. Thats were I saw a bunch of links. Most had all the same info that came out this morning. Some did have the album cover as well.

[Brother McDuff]

[tjpop]

May.. Paul's reissue: nothing new
June.. CYH reissue: nothing new, but bonus disc
July.. Ill Communication reissue: 2 unreleased songs
August.. Hello Nasty reissue: 7 unreleased songs
Sept.. Hot Sauce Committee: 17 new fucking songs!

[bigfatlove06]

Don't get to fired up about the two new "songs" on Ill Communication remastered, I have it from a good source that they are just recordings of stuff going on, not actual tracks.

care to share the RS link? I've done googled every track name and didn't see anything connecting the (alleged) artwork, except for a typography/font clue on the Congress website as posted by acamus

[bigfatlove06]

the two new tracks are basically snippets of audio that ran while they recorded random stuff but not actually songs.

maybe nothing to freak about, but still cool for collector's/beastie scholars. i'm really hoping we get some studio footage/interviews from the new album a la Depeche Mode's "Sounds of The Universe" recent short film. here's hoping there's some sincerity in the interviews too. i'm ready to celebrate the untimely death of irony for a while.

[YoungRemy]

sounds like they are confirming the album cover now...

they are keeping the fans on their toes indeed

Solid Gold Hits Remastered with bonus tracks.


I'm looking forward to hearing Heart Attack Man (acoustic).

[Baseline]

omg!
this's some good shit :):):)

I agree. weak. Looks like a magazine opener spread, rather than an album cover. But I'm just happy that a cat got some play on the cover. I am taking note of past releases which either had a dog in the artwork or was soundbite, and the official count is:

Dogs: 8
Cats: 3 (including Hot Sauce)

[senbei]

Are you guys crazy? This is one of the coolest cover I have seen in years. The 70s-ish vibe it has is amazing!

Fresh from 09! :D

I agree, I like it. I mean they did time travel in order to take the pic and then paint/photoshop it.

yeah? it looks very now...you know what I'm saying? I don't really get a 70s vibe. interesting that Adrock has a beard though. and the cat of course.

I knew they were going with a pic of themselves. after TT5B (artwork) and Mix-up (which does have a small shot of them in it, but it's artwork)..it was them on the cover time. they like to alternate, which is cool.

Look at this Led Zeppelin cover: http://www.amazon.com/Early-Days-Best-Zeppelin-Vol/dp/B00002SSRG/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1245791472&sr=1-22

I've seen a bunch of albums from the 70's like that. The Beasties have that same style on the new cover. That is what I mean by the 70's vibe.

[laurie_hammy]

I dont see whats bad about the cover, I reckon it looks good as.

[destructo]

I like the the story they gave on the Zane Lowe show.

"We ah, built a time machine.. recently..."

[dirtydan11]

quote from laurie hammy-"I dont see whats bad about the cover, I reckon it looks good as."

i think its good too. especially since yauch was explaining that it's a broken escalator, like there is a meaning about it, not just a silly picture. and even if there is no meaning, it's a cool ass album cover. i have this hardcover book with the top 100 album covers (licenced to ill is in it coincidentally) of all time, and it delves into the art of album covers a little bit, with a little history behind each one. anyways, the cover art for hot sauce committee part one is really good, IMO.. it makes you look around the pic and wonder about it, and the paint style is nice. why people just want to dismiss it right away? anyone's guess i guess

[gbsuey]

Just found the remastered Ill C on ebay! From Germany......giving the release date as 12/06/09!! Don' think i'll buy.....:rolleyes:

what does the broken escalator have to do with the title? I'm not arguing, just trying to get other people's take on it, that's all.

the thing with the cover why people sorta dissmissing it (myself included) is that it doesn't have that "classic" look to it much like LTI, Paul's, CYH, Ill Comm did when first viewing.. and still do. Don't have to tell you that album covers are pretty much a big deal to a lot of people (myself included ha, ha), hence the book!

It certainly doesn't suck, and it has charm...just we, or maybe I, expected something better. wow instead of meh.

[Brother McDuff]

the cat saves the cover, IMO; takes it from decent to great.

Desire is the root of unhappiness. You people just have to get over it. It's just an album cover.

[JDsmagik]

I like the cover. It just doesn't look like Ad Rock in the front.

who is that?

i like this part.

It's just an album cover.


but you'd be right if St. Peppers was just an album of great songs.

[MCScoobyT]

Supposedly, there is a hidden Praying Mantis sitting on something that looks like a pot leaf, hidden in the jungle. You have to use Tadlock's Glasses to find it. These special glasses will come in the Deluxe Edition CD Eco-Pack, and when worn will show all kinds of hidden shiizle in that jungle and in Ad-Rocks beard.

:D brilliant.
but before you posted this like an asshole I was looking for a praying mantis, or perhaps a toucan. this is after I saw the lizard.

Ya, when you put the glasses on, Mike D's watch reads 4:20.

It also reveals that he cat is not a cat at all, but the world's final nuclear weapon.

[G-PoNg]

I think the cat symbolizes Yauch getting all the pussy in the group.
