Beastie Boys also stated that new disk could be described as «political» and would feature more traditional Beastie Boys’ sound than the band’s previous record The Mix-Up, released in 2007.

«It's a lot of vocals – very wordy. It's political, depending on what you call political. You know, if toilet talk and fart jokes are political, which they can be, in that sense yeah, very», said Adam Horowitz.

The band’s members confirmed that they did not plan any tours for this year, but would perform on several festivals during summer.
