The Mix-Up is all-instrumental, digging into the familiar organ-heavy lounge funk of Check Your Head and Ill Communication. Yet it's poignant, because the Beasties play their old grooves like they realize how bad people miss them and how high their stock remains despite so many years away.
 
Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
Additional personnel: Adam Horovitz (guitars); Mark Nishita (Clavinet); Adam Yauch (bass guitar); Michael Diamond (drums); Alfredo Ortiz (percussion).
With six highly celebrated official hip-hop albums under their belts, Adam Horowitz, Adam Yauch, and Michael Diamond have little left to prove to rap fans, except perhaps that they can still rock their instruments like they once did. With this in mind, THE MIX-UP brings listeners a full-length, jazz-funk jam-band exercise in a similar vein to the 1996 release, THE IN-SOUND FROM WAY-OUT, or the instrumental cuts on ILL COMMUNICATION.
None of the Beasties go anywhere near the mic on THE MIX-UP (except for the odd whistle), but thankfully, and as the thorough tracklist proves positive, all three can still hold their own in a jam session. Most cuts rely on a Hammond organ groove and funky wah-guitar, with "4th Street Break" and "The Rat Cage" proving especially tight. True students of the post-modern pilfer approach to music-making that they are, one can even hear traces of Lips Inc.'s "Funky Town" creeping into the Beastie's guitar riffs of "Freaky Hijiki."

Producer: Beastie Boys

Engineer: Jon Weiner; Beastie Boys
 

 
Entertainment Reviews
Beastie Boys - The Mix-Up - CD Review
By: Michael Cartwright - Cinema Blend CD Reviews
Published on: 6/25/2007 1:34 AM
Before The Mix-Up kicks off, you hear one of the Beasties exclaim "I feel naked!" And well, without any of the trio's trademark rhymes or subtle samples, one might start to think this album could, very well, feel naked. Not to worry though, the disc appears fully dressed in its unique brand of organ-soaked funk. (The Beasties employed the help of Alfredo Ortiz and Money Mark on the keys.) Hardcore fans of funk will likely find themselves bored and unimpressed throughout the album, but others will surely take to the relative freshness of the NYC group's efforts. ...read the full review

1 of 5 Not what I expected Monday, July 09, 2007
A Listener from Bayside NY  

I should have looked at other reviews before buying (err wasting) my money. There are no lyrics just instruments. If you want to listen to instruments then buy this. If you hoping for some good and funny rap lyrics then skip this.
