Apparently this is the tracklist that was on their store to purchase the album, but has been since taken down. If they really have the two surviving Beastie Boys and the two survirors of Run-DMC on a track, that's pretty incredible. Also, six of the tracks were on their previous album, Nothing is Quick in the Desert. Not sure if they are updated or not. (I put those in italics.)

Honest question, but when was the last good PE album? Feel like they've been dropping cheap sounding albums with minimal impact since the late 90s.

Will def check this out though, the track with Premo was great and their voices are needed for these times.

To my knowledge, Mike D and Ad Rock have not released anything they have performed since releasing their last Beasties album. Run was on DMC's solo album, but not sure if that was a new recording or something from an older session, so this might be the first from them since Crown Royal.
