I just picked up the new Beastie Boys album. It's a solid stripped back affair, leaning on old skool hip hop while riding recent trends. The first song indicates the influence of the Neptunes, and other tunes demonstrate their take on Missy and Timbaland's recent homages to the golden age of hip hop. Their voices belie their age, however, their vocal chords sounding a bit ragged. Still, it's amaizng they've been in the game as long as they have, producing good music.
