Three years elapsed between the releases of the band's second studio album Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head, which was recorded at the G-Son Studios in Atwater Village in 1991 under the guidance of producer Mario Caldato Jr., the group's third producer in three albums. Less sample-heavy than their previous records, the album features instrumental contributions from all three members: Adam Horovitz on lead guitar, Adam Yauch on bass guitar, and Mike Diamond on drums. It was re-released in 2009 in a number of formats. The re-release featured 16 b-sides and rarities as well as a commentary track.[4] The album is extensively broken down track-by-track by Diamond, Yauch, Horovitz, Caldato, and frequent Beasties collaborator Money Mark in Brian Coleman's book Check the Technique.[5] BackgroundIn contrast to their previous album, Paul's Boutique, the Beastie Boys returned somewhat stylistically to their punk roots on Check Your Head, playing their own instruments for the first time on record since their early EPs (although they did provide live instrumentation on at least two songs on Paul's Boutique).[7] Hence, photographer Glen E. Friedman's idea to shoot photos with their instrument cases (one of which became the cover).[7] Supposedly, a trading card with Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. from a set of Desert Storm trading cards was the inspiration for the title.[6] The album was their first to be fully co-produced by Mario Caldato Jr. Caldato was an engineer on Paul's Boutique and was credited as producer on that album's track "Ask for Janice".[6] The album also marks the first appearance of longtime collaborator keyboardist Money Mark.[6] The Beastie Boys toured with the Rollins Band and Cypress Hill in early 1992 to support Check Your Head.[6] Critical reception{{Album reviews| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|5|5}}[7] | rev2 = The A.V.

Then it won't."[19] Spin ranked Check Your Head at number four on their list of the 20 best albums of the year.[20] It ranked fifth place on The Village Voice's year-end Pazz & Jop critics' poll.[21] Spin later ranked the album number 12 on their list of the 90 greatest albums of the 1990s,[22] while Alternative Press ranked the album at number 23 on their list of the top 99 albums of 1985 to 1995.[23] Pitchfork ranked the album at number 34 on their list of the Top 100 Albums of the 1990s.[24] In a retrospective review, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic called Check Your Head "a whirlwind tour through the Beasties' pop-culture obsessions, but instead of spinning into Technicolor fantasies, it's earth-bound D.I.Y. that makes it all seem equally accessible — which is a big reason why it turned out to be an alt-rock touchstone of the '90s, something that both set trends and predicted them."[7]Track listing{{tracklist| title1 = Jimmy James | writer1 = {{hlist|Beastie Boys|Caldato}} | length1 = 3:14 | title2 = Funky Boss | writer2 = {{hlist|Beastie Boys|Nishita}} | length2 = 1:35 | title3 = Pass the Mic | writer3 = {{hlist|Beastie Boys|Caldato}} | length3 = 4:17 | title4 = Gratitude | writer4 = {{hlist|Beastie Boys|Cushman}} | length4 = 2:45 | title5 = Lighten Up | writer5 ={{hlist| Beastie Boys|Nishita}} | length5 = 2:41 | title6 = Finger Lickin' Good | writer6 = {{hlist|Beastie Boys|Caldato| Fite|Hill}} | length6 = 3:39 | title7 = So What'cha Want | writer7 = Beastie Boys | length7 = 3:37 | title8 = The Biz vs. The Nuge | writer8 = {{hlist|Hall|Nugent}} | length8 = 0:33 | title9 = Time for Livin' | writer9 = Sylvester Stewart, Mackie Jayson, Miles Kelly, Noah Evans | length9 = 1:48 | title10 = Something's Got to Give | writer10 = {{hlist|Beastie Boys| Caldato|Nishita}} | length10 = 3:28 | title11 = The Blue Nun | writer11 = Beastie Boys | length11 = 0:32 | title12 = Stand Together | writer12 = {{hlist|Beastie Boys|Caldato}} | length12 = 2:47 | title13 = POW | writer13 ={{hlist| Beastie Boys|Nishita}} | length13 = 2:13 | title14 = The Maestro | writer14 = Beastie Boys | length14 = 2:52 | title15 = Groove Holmes | writer15 ={{hlist| Beastie Boys|Nishita}} | length15 = 2:33 | title16 = Live at P.J.'s | writer16 ={{hlist| Beastie Boys|Nishita}} | length16 = 3:18 | title17 = Mark on the Bus | writer17 = Nishita | length17 = 1:05 | title18 = Professor Booty | writer18 = {{hlist|Beastie Boys|Caldato}} | length18 = 4:13 | title19 = In 3's | writer19 ={{hlist| Beastie Boys|Nishita}} | length19 = 2:23 | title20 = Namasté | writer20 ={{hlist| Beastie Boys|Nishita}} | length20 = 4:01 }}{{Track listing | headline = Japanese bonus tracks | total_length = | title21 = Dub the Mic | note21 = Instrumental | length21 = | title22 = Drunken Praying Mantis Style | writer22 = | length22 = | title23 = Skills to Pay the Bills (Pass the Mic, Pt. 2) | writer23 = | length23 = | title24 = Netty's Girl | writer24 = | length24 = }}{{tracklist | headline = 2009 Remastered Edition Bonus Disc | title1 = Dub the Mic | note1 = Instrumental | length1 = 4:30 | title2 = Pass the Mic (Pt. 2, Skills to Pay the Bills) | writer2 = | length2 = 4:25 | title3 = Drunken Praying Mantis Style | writer3 = | length3 = 2:40 | title4 = Netty's Girl | writer4 = | length4 = 3:24 | title5 = The Skills to Pay the Bills | note5 = Original Version | length5 = 3:16 | title6 = So What'cha Want | note6 = Soul Assassins Remix Version | length6 = 4:08 | title7 = So What'cha Want | note7 = Butt Naked Version | length7 = 3:29 | title8 = Groove Holmes | note8 = Live vs The Biz | length8 = 6:13 | title9 = So What'cha Want | note9 = All The Way Live Freestyle Version | length9 = 3:39 | title10 = Stand Together | note10 = Live at French's Tavern, Sydney Australia | length10 = 2:32 | title11 = Finger Lickin' Good | note11 = Government Cheese Remix | length11 = 4:15 | title12 = Gratitude | note12 = Live at Budokan 9-16-92 | length12 = 4:28 | title13 = Honky Rink | writer13 = | length13 = 2:13 | title14 = Jimmy James | note14 = Original Original Version | length14 = 3:44 | title15 = Boomin' Granny | writer15 = | length15 = 2:18 | title16 = Drinkin' Wine | writer16 = | length16 = 4:42 }} Personnel
