This here new Beck album...

Post by Flex »

...jiggles my fancy. I'm digging it. Not quite up there with his masterworks but better than his last couple albums. Some folks here don't dig Danger Mouse's production style but I rather like it here (disclaimer: I rather like most albums he produces). He gives Beck a bit of the Gnarls Barkley treatment, which fits well.

A keeper, says I.

Didn't Danger Mouse produce the new Black Keys thing? That makes him cool in my book.

How does it compare to Guero and The Information? As much as I wanted to like those albums, I never really got into them. Honestly, I think this might be the first Beck album I'll skip since I got into him in 96.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
