Beastie Boys Finishing Up “Weird” New Album

The Beastie Boys are hard at working finishing up their eighth studio album, the trio’s Adam Yauch (a.k.a. MCA) tells EW.com. “It’s a pretty weird record,” Yauch said, adding that unlike 2007’s all-instrumental The Mix-Up, the new LP will feature “a lot of rhyming and playing and sampling — all combined.”

“We still have a good time working together. It’s fun to be able to reinvent yourself every time,” the rapper said. The album is due out in either the summer or fall, with Tad Lock’s Glasses — an homage to their tour bus driver’s unique glasses — being batted around as a possible album title.

In other Beastie news, the group will take the stage at this year’s Bonnaroo. Recently MCA, Ad-Rock and Mike D reissued their epic Paul’s Boutique with remastered sound and tons more features. Check out the full story on that album below:

Here’s some more Beastie news: It’s looks like a remastered Check Your Head and Ill Communication are coming out in April, each with a bonus disc of music. That’s more stuff than you got on the remastered Paul’s Boutique, which was nothing.

Oh, and M-I-K-E to the D, you come and see me and you pay a fee.

Great, really looking forward to it. Have to say that the remasteration of Pauls Boutique was a blast for my ears, even tho’ I really love that old sound of vinyl.

Cool. Can’t wait for another one. Haters dissed 5 Boroughs, but they missed the boat. “Open Letter to NYC” was worth the price alone. Instant classic. The rest was what you’d expect from the Beasties – wacked-out doo-doo rhymes and a li’l bit o’ politics. Good stuff.

And oh, yeah, if everybody else is quoting random Beastie’s lines, “You heard my style; I think you missed the point…(bdrump-bump-bump-bump -bump)…it’s the joint!

to the 5 boroughs was bomb. Open Letter to NYC is a phenominal song, and it was a good album, though not their best. Rap/Rock on beasties!

I met a girl last night with a peculiar cackle, I laid the bait and she took the tackle. Had too much to drink at the Red Lobster, now the room is spinning around like the blades of a helicopter. Never met a girl the was too finicky, if the press has their way, they are going to finish me. I shed light, cats shed fur. Ride around town like I’m Raymond Burr. I’m so high, you call me your highness, if you don’t know me then pardon my shyness. I live in the village, where ever I go I walk to. I keep my friends around so I’ll have someone to talk to. I play my music loud, you know it’s got clout to it… It’s a trip, it’s got a funky beat and I can BUG OUT to it
