CHECK YOUR HEAD ALBUM INFO

Check Your Head album cover Artist: Beastie Boys
Album: Check Your Head
Release Date: 27 Apr 2004
''Check Your Head'' is the third album by the Beastie Boys, released on April 21, 1992.

Three years elapsed between the release of the band's second album, ''Paul's Boutique'' and their recording of this album, which occurred at the G-Son Studios in Atwater Village, California in 1991. The album features the popular hits "So Whatcha Want" and "Pass the Mic"; the music videos for both songs are available on the The Criterion Collection|Criterion Collection ''Beastie Boys Video Anthology'' DVD set.

Background
In contrast to their previous album, ''Paul's Boutique'', the Boys returned stylistically to their punk rock roots on ''Check Your Head'', playing their own instruments for the first time on record since their early Extended play|EPs. Hence photographer Glen E. Friedman's idea to shoot photos with their instrument cases (one of which became the cover). The cover itself is a subtle depiction of the famous Three Wise Monkeys: "See No Evil," "Hear No Evil," and "Speak No Evil." (This theme is revisited in the lyrics of "Finger Lickin' Good.") The album was their first collaboration with Mario Caldato Jr..

There's been some debate about the Dutch band Urban Dance Squad, who had toured the United States with Living Colour in early 1991, influencing the Beastie Boys to play live instruments again; as the Beast
