LEAKED! I will be listening shortly. |
||||||||

i got this earlier this afternoon, was gonna start this topic.. had a feeling you'd do the honours : ) hearing random songs is one thing, but im quite pleased with this album atm, better than guero and also better than what i was expecting. the last track is one of the most experimental things becks pull off, espicially recently, so that was a bit of a shock. (tho it couldve done without the cellphones dead bass.) |

soldier jane, man. how fucking amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think guero is shit, except several notes here or there. hope this one will be better! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was disappointed by guero in a way, but i still think it's great. this new album is fucking great so far. more solid in all. far better coherency. lovely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i definately wanna chek this out |
||||||||
|
|

guero was terrible in my opinion.. like, some songs were good (girl, earthquake weather), but working with the dust brothers was a bad move. all the songs sound bland and repetitive. there are some things i could pick at from nigels production on the information, but id rather not cos the album is well done and a definite step up for beck. |

movie theme reminds me of his stuff with air |

great album. think i'm in love, soldier jane, dark star and the information have to be my faves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I heard it was like... rap or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dark star? damn, thats one of my least favourites : D as for my favourites.. elevator music, cell phones dead, soldier jane, new round, though thats likely to change some time soon, i like all the tracks really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
barely. i think, around 5 (of 15) songs could be considered rap, and even then alot of them have other crap thrown in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dark star is fantastic you buffoon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
soldier jane is one of his best tunes ever, man. tune of 06 so far for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok. Sounds like a pretty interesting release, especially since you seem to like it. |

*beck is a good worker of music. i had high experiences while listenin somehis tracks. one day with |

| |||||||||
|
|
steal my body home is so fantastic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hopefully in time i'll be able to agree. steal my body home, the whole of mellow gold is fantastic, such a brilliant beck album, though it took its time for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked DARK STAR alot..... im still growing into the rest of the album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm listening to Odelay. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not feelin' it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dark star, for me, seems to be trying to be seachange just a little bit too much. and the mood is all bleh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"mood is all bleh"? what does that even mean :O doesn't sound like "trying" to be, has a similar string arrangement/sound but it features a rap and a very different dynamic in general. it's alright if you don't like it(!), subjective matter's like that, but the critique is a bit odd, 's all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha yeah, i dunno. its all good btw. some guy on beck forum is saying beck was inspired by boc for the last track... simply because theyre both electronic and beck has said he likes boc, besides that i see no connection. am i deaf : O |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hear very little connection too, although horsefactory mentioned the boc factor to me as well. i think it sounds much more like his AIR collaborations |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
elevator music reminded me of boc's remix of dead dogs two, but beck said he liked campfire headphase, not listened to all their remixes and such, so there could be no connection there anyway.. most of it just sounds like beck, and beck has said it links seachange to guero. i reckon nigel left a bit of a mark on motorcade as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm really enjoying this record. i hear some boc influence on ‘the horrible fanfare/landslide/exoskeleton’ (mostly the ‘aquarius’-style voice samples; i hear some astrobotnia style sounds as well) & the record is peppered with influences i love: herbie hancock, cocteau twins, stevie wonder, augustus pablo, serge gainsbourg and probably others i’m forgetting/ not picking up on. this is probably the finest example of beck’s toybox of synthesizers, harmonicas and hilarious abstract lyrics. extra points for the tasteful use of max/MSP on ‘1000BPM’, and for sampling the william burroughs/kurt cobain collab, “the preist they called him” on the title track.nice. nigel godrich is all over this record. way, way way better than guero which i liked. |

just got it : ) and the first impression is excellent! the style is still different enough from his previous albums; it doesn't feel "stripped down" like Guero did sometimes, and at times it even kind of reminded me of some b-sides like Deadweight (if you haven't heard Deadweight, you should, and you should see Michel Gondry's video for it too). i made a cover with the stickers: (i haven't used them all, there's still another "Beck" logo one, a sticker for each track, and 3-4 other ones. so there's plenty. you may not get the same ones i did, since you get one sticker sheet out of four at random.) |
||||||||

*creative concept from Beck none the less saw it in stores, the packaging is the grid paper, and you get stickers inside to make your own design ? Whoa ! |
||||||||
|

|
|
woah, that one sticker reminds me of |

keeps on getting better and better, this one. gem of a record. |

l ron hubbard + beck = the information |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Beck is the king of juxtaposition. The master of pot luck music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's good about it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not a patch on Odelay, but the only way he's going to ever touch Odelay is to make another album like Odelay, which he doesn't want to do. This poses a problem. He may always be less interesting as a result. I like weird, fucked up Beck circa 1993-1998. At least this new album has some left turns and feels a bit looser and less rushed than Guero was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the way beck puts it in interviews (though hes never really just said it).. it seems like, the information is something beck/godrich have been working on for some time. and then when godrich wasnt able to work on the album, beck took the time to work with dust brothers again. he let out some songs which didnt turn out too well in production but meh. its all good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but Odelay isn't even his best album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think this is a decent album, but certainly not up to his best. It's hard to sound fresh everytime even for Beck, but when I listen to this I get the feeling that I've heard it all before. And combined with the fact (IMO) that the melodies and the "feeling" used to be better before, I'm a little bit disappointed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but Odelay is his best. this one is a good album too. heard it in a shop in Perth the otherday, felt good to listen to. if anybody wants the poster I can nab about 5 in the city that Ive spotted. Dont think they'll mind seeing as how it has been released. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no Odelay isn't his best. anyway, i think it's a pretty damn good album but there are a few shite tunes on there like Strange Apparition and the overly long last track(s). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Odelay bored me to death, shitty ideas etc. I loved most of his other stuff though. Guero and this doesn't touch mutations and midnite vultures, for reasons mortso mentioned. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you bore me to death |

|

ODELAY for president. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is no "best", there are just favourites. Odelay might or might not be your favourite Beck album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heard "Broken Cellphone" pretty good, but not really that much different than his 90s stuff. My fave track is "Get Real Paid", he should do a whole album of electro. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uzim is "teh best", case closed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd hate to disagree yunno, but Odelay is plain his best. Spin the motherfucker loud in the car and then see what I mean. Thank you. |
