God, I love The Beastie Boys.

But this is just....strange. The new Beastie Boys album, out on June 26, will have no samples. No scratching.

And no vocals.

It will be a completely instrumental album. And I'll let the boys handle it from here....

• But as different as [it] might be from To the 5 Boroughs, it's equally different from instrumental songs we've done before, like the ones that were on The In Sound From Way Out! That was kind of one direction and this one [has] different influences, like Public Image Ltd., Gang of Four, the Slits, Killing Joke.

Hmmm. I'll reserve judgments until I hear this.
