NEW YORK— The Beastie Boys announced Wednesday the deluxe reissue of their seminal 2004 album, To the Five Boroughs. The new release will feature 11 bonus tracks. These are previously unheard recordings. The album, To the Five Boroughs, is a cornerstone of early 2000s hip-hop. It cemented the group’s legacy. The reissue will include rare remixes. It will also include B-sides. Fans have long clamored for such an expanded release. This is a chance to hear more from the legendary trio. The To the Five Boroughs deluxe edition comes as a triple LP. It also comes as a double CD set.
Lost Sounds Resurface
The bonus tracks offer a glimpse into the creative process. They showcase the group’s lyrical dexterity. Sources close to the band described the unearthed material. They called it “peak Beastie.” The unreleased songs are said to be from the original recording sessions. They were deemed too experimental for the initial release. Adam Yauch, MCA, reportedly insisted on their exclusion. He felt they were “too aggressively strange.” This is according to one anonymous studio assistant. The re-release aims to capture the full scope of the album’s creation.
A Generous Gesture
This extensive collection satisfies a growing demand. It provides a deeper dive into the Beastie Boys’ musical output. The group has always been known for their playful experimentation. This deluxe edition of To the Five Boroughs continues that tradition. “It’s like finding buried treasure,” said longtime fan, Bartholomew ‘B-Man’ Jones. He is the self-proclaimed President of the Beastie Boys International Fan Club. “We thought we had heard it all. Now we have 11 more reasons to rap along in our cars.” The reissue is slated for release next month. Pre-orders are now available.
At press time, reports indicated that the 11 bonus tracks primarily consist of Ad-Rock rapping about different types of cheese for 45 minutes each.
