Beastie Boys' eighth studio album, Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1, drops Sept. 15, and they've let fans in on some details about it.
The massive 17-track record features guest appearances from Santigold and Nas, and with titles like "Nonstop Disco Powerpack" and "Funky Donkey" it sounds like this album will follow in true Beasties style.
The album previously had a working title of Tadlock's Glasses and was named after their former driver, who was once given a pair of glasses from Elvis Presley.
Adam "MCA" Yauch said in February the album marked a new direction for the group.
"It's a combination of playing and sampling stuff as we're playing, and also sampling pretty obscure records," Yauch told BBC 5 Live.
"There are a lot of songs on the record and there are a lot of short songs and they kind of all run into each other."
The hip-hop heavyweights will also reissue 1994's Ill Communication on July 14 and 1998's Hello Nasty on Aug. 25.
Here's the tracks on Hot Sauce Committee:
"Tadlock's Glasses"
"B-Boys In The Cut"
"Make Some Noise"
"Nonstop Disco Powerpack"
"OK"
"Too Many Rappers" (ft. NAS)
