When I heard that they were going back to their instruments for their next ablum, the first thing that came to mind was their best stuff as a punk-hip-hop band. Instead, we get a bunch of jam sessions, which was probably a blast for the guys, but not for their fans. Not a horrible funk album, but come on. I want some classic Beastie Boys (and their last two rap albums are not that either).
Joshua gave it an8:
A solid & perfectly reasonable outing. As a fan of "In Sound From Way Out" I was happy to hear another instrumental B-Boys album. "Mix-Up" has earned itself a spot on my daily rotation. More often than not I don't want something grating or demanding attention - I don't want elevator music either. "The Mix-Up" fits the bill nicely. Not as experimental or far out as "In Sound" but a respectable release. Wish I had it on vinyl.
Mike D gave it a3:
Pretty much a waste of time from start to finish. 35 minutes of self-indulgent nonsense. There's probably 10 bar-bands in every state doing this kind of thing better on a nightly basis.
Bit Burn gave it a9:
Freakin' critics. Seriously, this is exactly what a Beastie instrumental album should be: lightweight, no frills, no BS, just plain ol' jammin and just press "record". What's wrong with that?

Smooth, sweet, and niiiiice!
Matthew A. gave it a10:
Regardless of merit the Boys always produce a 10. However if you loved The In Sound From Way Out you will be beside yourself with a funkiness helmet of pleasure and contentment on your head. I am proud of the Beasties for producing another instrumental album that even dwarfs the previous "In Sound." A+ for the boys and if you don't agree you probably don't understand the Boys in the first place.
Jeff L. gave it a5:
The 5 Boroughs was to old skool, and now we have The Mix-Up. The songs really don't stand out from one song to another, in other words they all sound alike. I like the Mix formula (hip-hop- Live jams) they use for CYH, Ill Com, and H. Nasty. These themed CD's become tiresome; Come-on Beasties, if you're goanna call your album the Mix-Up, then by all means MIX IT UP.
