    i'm just not really feeling this one yet. sea change and mutations are leaps and bounds better. and guero is better.

    i'd put this one on par with midnite vultures right now, which i do like more than odelay and mellow gold.

    The first song is straight Odelay. Actual Odelay, not Guero-Odelay where it seemed like he was trying to replicate Odelay and came off slightly awkward. The bassline on "Think I'm In Love" sounds a lot like one from Guero, but I can't place which song it is at the moment....

    Actually, I think I've pinpointed the bass line. Listen to "Rental Car," and then listen to "Think I'm In Love."

    This bass line was lifted from some Motown stand-by -- I cannot put my finger on it, though. The Beastie Boys used it on Egg Man from Paul's Boutique too.

    I love this new one! Real nice -- it's still sinking in...

    Right up there with Mutations, Sea Change, Guero for me!

    How about a round of applause for Hotwax, Debra, and Nobody's Fault But My Own, Canceled Check, End of the Day, and Earthquake Weather??

    I have determined that "No Complaints" is his best song since "Lost Cause"

    managed to get the version with a bonus track "Inside Out"
    overall love this album though compared to Beck's other releases,it's not one of his better ones imo.
    fave tracks so far are "No Complaints,Cellphone's Dead,Soldier Jane,The Information,Inside Out and 1000 BPM.
    not touched the sticker set yet as well..probably wont too hah..

    i haven't heard anything from the information, but i was very disappointed with guero. i love odelay and liked sea change, so maybe i should check it out. but i'm wary because i find i am more often than not disappointed with his music.

    i've loved all of beck's releases. and with each i find they grow on me after a few listens. so far i think this one is excellent! a kind of maturity not found in the other records, imo.

    Mellow Gold didn't come out until a year after Kurt died.. you must be mistaken.

    Still sad though, the song does remind me of Kurt often. :(

    Yeah, Odelay is pretty much known as his best... as for my favorite, it'd go to Mutations. I love that album. So folky and just laid back.

    mutations and sea change are my favorite 2. mutations impressed the hell out of me. the lyrics are brilliant. great album to chill to.

    People like you make me sick. I hope you are joking. Open up a little bit. THis album is one of his best. No other artist that I know of puts out 6 albums of amazing music in a row like beck has. He has no weakness. How many of pearl jams last 6 albums have been amazing? Pearl Jam is my fav band and I can still say that Riot Act pretty much sucked. Give beck another listen.
