Beastie Boys replace new album with cancelled album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 28 October 2010
It’s good to know that, after all these years, Beastie Boys still have the ability to be utterly confusing. They announced last week that they would no longer be releasing their much-delayed new album, ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 1’, next month, but the follow-up, ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 2’, would come out next spring as planned. Now they’ve revealed that all the songs on ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 1’ have replaced those on ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 2’.
Here’s Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch to explain: “I know it’s weird and confusing, but at least we can say unequivocally that ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 2’ is coming out on time, which is more than I can say about ‘Part 1’, and really is all that matters in the end”.
Oh, that’s not helped? Here, he continues: “We just kept working and working on various sequences for ‘Part 2’, and after a year and half of spending days on end in the sequencing room trying out every possible combination, it finally became clear that this was the only way to make it work. Strange but true, the final sequence for ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 2’ works best with all its songs replaced by the sixteen tracks we originally had lined up in pretty much the same order we had them in for ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 1’. So we’ve come full circle”.
And now the condensed version: ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 1’ has been renamed ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 2’ and will come out in the spring. Presumably ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 2’ (renamed ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 1’) will be released at a later date. But maybe not. Maybe there only ever was one album. Who knows. Sorry, this isn’t very condensed, is it?
Anyway, here’s the tracklist for the album that’s due to come out in the spring:
Tadlock’s Glasses
B-Boys In The Cut
Make Some Noise
Nonstop Disco Powerpack
OK
Too Many Rappers (featuring Nas)

Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win (featuring Santigold)
