Album just came out today, I drove up to Newberry Comics, and it turns out they give ya a free Beastie Boys pint glass when you buy it there, so that's a nice plus. It might replace my Achewood pint glass as my go to beer glass. But back on topic: The new CD.
It's a lot like the Beastie's other instrumental CD, The In Sound from Way Out, but if you haven't heard that, think of the instrumental tracks from Ill Communication, Like Futterman's Rule and Ricky's Theme, and you can get a feel for what the albums like. I wouldn't really call it Jam band music, so no worries there WK, though I don't know how to classify it. Really their old instrumental tracks are the best comparison to the new music.
Overall though, I like it. I threw it in for the ride home and it makes for really good cruising music. At the very least, its worth a listen by any Beastie Boys fan.
