Whether you are a big Beastie Boys fan or not, one must admit that it's always nice to have them around, especially when the rest of the music industry seems to take themselves WAY too seriously (looking at you, Gaga). That's why word of their new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, comes as such welcome news.
Considering that this album has been finished for almost two years and that it was indefinitely delayed by Adam Yauch's cancer treatment, the fact that there is now a release date would seem to signify good news on the health front for Yauch.
In addition to announcing a May 3 release date via their website, the Beasties also unveiled the cover art.
