Skatologie:

• wissenschaftliche Untersuchung von Kot
• Vorliebe für anale Ausdrücke, auch Fäkalsprache

Die Beastie Boys machen bei MTV ein paar Angaben zum neuen Album:

It’s pretty scatological, to be completely honest. There are probably more scatological lyrics on this particular album than ever before. […] a lot of stuff on it. I would say there’s a lot going on with the record. There’s a lot of layers to it. It’s a deep record. It’s overwhelming, in a good way.

Not to give too much away, but there are in-depth studies on animal behavior and their organs. Actually Beastie Boys: Animal Kingdom is really not a bad title for it — just going to put that out there.

We’re making a ‘good-weird’ album for the people. Good-weird is good though. Like, when you go to a restaurant and you try something, and it’s kind of weird and it’s nothing you’ve ever tasted before, and you’re actually even questioning why you’re eating it while you’re eating it. But then afterwards you’re like, ‘You know what, I’m really glad I ate that. I really liked it.’ And then all of a sudden it’s, like, two days later and you’re like, ‘Damn, I’m gonna go back and get that dish.’

Mit Animal Kingdom ist dann auch der kommende Codename für’s Album gefunden, Scantalogy würde wohl sicher sehr viel eigenartiges Publikum über Google auf diese Seite locken :)
