Mike D: "Expect to be disappointed..."

[MC Moot]

Hey let's not kid a kidder....he's always funnin......if it's a change from TTFB I'll be relieved.....:D

"Mike D told Australia's Daily Telegraph that the new music was a slight departure from their previous works. He said, "It is actually really different ... (fans) can expect to be disappointed, they can expect to be angry at us...It's always hard to know (how the album will turn out). We still have a little of a way to go. I don't want to describe it too much because whatever I say might change."

If I can accept country music from the Beastie Boys, I can accept anything.

That should end any discussion on that matter(y)

I think it would be trick if they dropped a full on Jazz record......no seriously,though.....

Well, speaking from a professional point of view, this is a very bad choice for them.


They want to create an album that the fans will dislike? so, whats the point? why bother creating an album that thier fans will hate? are they trying to target a different audience? why are they going in uncharted territory?

ive been through this with another group in 2001. a certain group alienated thier core fans and went into a different direction and the album BOMBED. I see it happening again.

They're going to uncharted territory because they're artists, and that's what artists do, they grow and experiment and create. You should know by now that they're not the types to just do what everyone wants them to do. If they used a gameplan like that, they wouldn't have made it past "Licensed to Ill". Many forget that they like the beasties because they're ever-changing and trying new things.

Seriously, though, the beasties aren't quite eduacated enough and trained to point where they could pull off a straight ahead jazz album. There are heavy jazz influences and elements in their instrumentals, but real jazz musicians are a whole other breed. Not for better or worse, but they're on a whole other tip. Plus I don't think the beasties' attention span is focused enough to take on such a task, thank god.

They don't want to create an album fans are going to dislike. Its foolish for you to take that assumption.

It was a joke from Mike D that probably was a backhanded jab at the people around here who whined about TT5B. Nothing more.

Their next album is going to rock.

I think what Mike meant about being disappointing is simply that the new album won't be entirely hip hop.

Oh, and don't worry about sales. It will go Platinum simply by sticking their name on it :)

That's a hell of alot assumption....I've met people who thought "The In Sound From Way Out" was a record not a compilation.....silly and pretentious to think that they couldn't lounge lizard it, if they so choose and fuck ya I'd be first in line to buy so to speak....."real jazz musicians" = oxymoron....

I hope so. Its hard for artists to go platinum these days, since they don't count Internet sales really.

[AndILoveMike!]

They alwais change! Music, ore style, ore way to think. It's the best part of be a Beasties' fan. They change, and we alwais like them.

[KENNY GUIDO]

change is good but changing this late in the stage is a big risk. sure, they went from punk to a successful rap carreer to alternative/grunge era with jam sessions and instrumentals and back to rap again with ease. But to take on a brand new sound that thier fans may not like is risky. I mean, lets face it, theyre not that young and they may or may not sound right with the next, big thing. I am dying to hear it no matter what.

I was referring to TKA.

of course they can play loungy music, they do it all the time, but lounge music and jazz are two separate things. similar by comparison, but by no means the same thing. just because you play "jazzy" jams doesn't make you a jazz musician or ensure you're capable of writing and/or executing jazz in it's purest form. jazz is far more technical than lounge music in a multitude of ways.

and what difference does it make if some people thought TISFWO was an actual record, that doesn't mean a damn thing.

...oh yeah, and "fuck ya" right back. (n)
