The Mix Up is not a major statement, but that's the nice thing about the record: it's as personal and idiosyncratic as any old funky soul-jazz LP that you'd find deep in the crates of a second-hand record store.
-
A satisfyingly uneven, agreeably overreaching hodgepodge of sounds and styles a la Hello Nasty or Ill Communication.
-
You may say, with all its funky breaks and organ spells, that The Mix-Up is the last album you’d expect the Beastie Boys to make; but really, it could’ve been the first.
-
The Mix-Up doesn’t present anything innovative, nor is it any sort of triumphant career coda; it just sounds good.
-
The Mix-Up is the best record collection ever thoroughly digested and re-imagined by a bunch of guys in love with sound.
-
VibeMaybe The Mix-Up woks simply because it does nothing terribily wrong.
