In a nutshell: 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.

Imagine if you will: A bunch of punk-rap brats revealing that inside every beerchucking whiny-voiced hedonist lies a serious muso.
