why isn't there already a thread about Beck ? He's one of the most recognizeable artists of the alternative and experimental genres . He has a way of mixing many genres together and fusing many instruments into his sound , which he plays most of himself .His stlye ranges from rock , to folk , to blues , to country , even hip hop , to anything possibly imagineable . His lyrics are unusual and trippy , and sometimes emphasize the irony of life's problems .
Beck has just released a new album , " Modern Guilt " .
edit : here is a teaser for it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDoYZJL4CcQ
you can discuss that , or his very successful past releases . . . |

*applauds*
beck is an amazing artist. one of my top favorites.
but he doesn't get alot of attention, as in being "popular"
which, i personally like, cuz that makes him cooler to me.
but just the same, he doesn't get very much credit for his work.
and that's sad. |

beck's awesome. my favorite beck album is mellow gold. i haven't heard the new album yet as i just started downloading it...i'm going to buy it, but i don't have the money right now (i've gotta get scars and go see the dark knight)
but yeah, beck is one of the more original artists around today imo |

yeah , Mellow Gold is really old school , and the new album isn't that bad , but it's theme isn't very energetic , that's just a warning , the theme is more of looking at life's problems . Despite the theme , there's still some songs that deliver the point with a certain energy.
I'm planning on buying " The Information " just cause it was his latest release , before I downloaded this that is , but still , I'll buy it , and also for the very creative concept of leaving the cover blank , and putting stickers in the booklet for you to make your own cover , that's awesome !
but if I were to listen to one after " The Information " , I definitely want " Midnite Vultures " |

the new album is awesome. i just listened to it a little while ago.
when i was coming back from seeing three days grace, my mom turned off the radio because she "had enough music" so i started singing beck songs until she turned the radio back on. |

yeah it's good , but like I said , it's gloomy , but there are some thoughts of hope in it
I hope he makes some music videos for it , his videos are always so creative and trippy |

E-pro is cool because of the effects and the animation , and Girl is creative because of those folding things that give a new message
it's really a tough choice for me
there's Sexx Laws , it has lots of crazy things , and . . . JACK BLACK ! before he became so famous ! that's cool !
then there's Mixed Bizness for the trippiness
or Nausea , puppets version for . . . well , the puppets !
Hell Yes , for featuring those robots , and only those 4 exist in the whole world
Loser , for the trippiness also
there must be more , but those are the ones I'm thinking of now |
