New Beck Modern Guilt Leaked

Just downloaded it (I've already paid for a pre-order, shut up) and its pretty awesome. With beck it always takes me five+ listens for the music to really sink in and so far I'm on listen number two and loving it!
My favs so far: Gamma Ray, Modern Guilt, Youthless, Profanity Prayers but I'm sure I'll eventually end up loving the whole thing (with the possible exception of chemtrails, just not for me)

What do you guys think?

    I'm, uhh... downloading it now. Bad me, I know. But, yea, he is a pretty damn cool guy. What is the motif for this album?

    I freakin love Beck- he changes his style up all the time.

    I can't wait to get this... when it comes out in stores of course lol.

    I've heard the first three tracks on iLike...and, well, I like. Very much. Chemtrails is actually my favorite of the three. I like that Beck strayed from doing another Guero...granted, there probably won't be any huge hits on this CD, but I don't think Beck really cares about that anymore. Can't wait to buy the whole thing.

    I love it so far. The first 4 tracks plus Walls, Replica and Volcano are amazing.

    Is anyone feeling a bit of modern guilt for downloading it early? I guess I don't really since I'm going to buy it anyway.

    Can't wait to hear this one from Beck......
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    I wasn't sure if I was going to order this one on vinyl but after hearing the whole thing its a no brainer for me (Vinyl is just way more fun).

    Here's a link, it comes with a coupon code to download some MP3s that were recorded from the vinyl version. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B92ET4/ref=amb_link_7090852_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=special-offers-2&pf_rd_r=1SW1NX1HJD5Z9KD3GKDJ&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=410585501&pf_rd_i=B0019GAOI2

    good news indeed, gonna wait for this one

    Is this the fun, happy, eclectic Beck or the Sea Change/Mutations stripped-down Beck?
  • GardenpartyGardenparty Posts: 1,910
    My Favorite record is Mutations by a landslide.

    Cannot wait to hear this one! Holding off on a DL though. Will always buy new Beck

    I'd say its stripped down but different than those records. He has basically changed his style a little again and it sounds amazing. This is definitely no The Information. This is now tied with Evil Urges for my favorite records to come out in '08.

    Wow this is rapidly becoming one of my fav Beck albums of all time! It may be short but every song on it is amazing (even chemtrails has come around for me!). I can't stop listening to it

    It's pretty good. "Soul Of A Man" is my favorite track.
