The Mix-Up is Beastie Boys' first-ever full album of all-new instrumental material. The follow-up to 2004's To The 5 Boroughs, The Mix-Up features Diamond, Horovitz and Yauch back on drums, guitar and bass, with able assistance from Keyboard Money Mark and percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, on 12 brand new wordless, sample-less, scratchless originals. Sure to please fans of the instrumental cuts from Check Your Head and Ill Communication and the cult hit compilation album made up largely of those tracks, The In Sound From Way Out!, The Mix-Up finds NYC's favorite sons drawing on one of their arsenal's primary strengths and pushing it into bold new directions.

Summary: Not THAT into the Beastie Boys
Comment: You know the type of person that likes every single thing produced by their favorite artists? I mean all the garage tapes, out takes, jam sessions - they somehow find worth in every utterance. If you're not one of those types you probably won't enjoy this CD.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't speak.
Comment: This is an all instrumental album by the Beastie Boys. It won a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album. Despite that fact, it's not really a "pop" album, it's a funk album. Almost all of these funk instrumentals are about three and a half minutes long. They are pretty good instrumentals, although the Beastie Boys aren't the best funk instrumentalists of all time. If you take it for what it is, it's pretty enjoyable.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not like classic beastie boys
Comment: If you are like me and love the 80's and 90's Beastie Boys, then read carefully. This is not a traditional release for them. It's instrumental - no vocals. It's cool, mind you, just not what you would expect. The Gala Event is a cool track.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Taking where they've left off...
Comment: If you've fancied Sounds From Way Out, you'll definitely be satisfied with the performance of The Beastie's latest.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Beasties have just jumped the shark
Comment: The Besties have abandoned their strengths and are now playing pretend in the deep end of the pool. Take a listen to Medeski Martin and Wood, or Garaj Mahal. In the vernacular, they are now biting some styles, and the result is WACK. As a hip hop crew, they are untouchable, as a funky jazz combo, they're a joke.
