Released 2009, US

2009 reissue on 2 180-gram vinyl records in a gatefold cover. The Beastie Boys returned to form on their third album, 1992's "Check Your Head." Transitioning from frat party rap to incorporating funk and punk elements, the group showcased their musical versatility by playing their own instruments for the first time. While rap remained a part of their identity, it was no longer the sole focus of their music. The album also marked a significant shift in their approach to sampling, incorporating pop-cultural references that would influence music for years to come. "Check Your Head" achieved commercial success, reaching the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart with standout tracks like "Pass the Mic," "Finger Lickin' Good," and "So What'cha Want."
