Guest Sir Winston Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Sorry essines nekta has to disagree with this, for a start 'A Harvest field by moonlight' and also 'One Foot In The Grave' are much better and to boot 'honest' than sea change. It is the album I gave up on him as a kooky beautiful artist and went into schmaltz feel so sorry for me tripe. But that is my opinion, scavenger is a million miles better than anything he did on this album. Screw late Beck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not trying to sway you or make you feel bad for having that opinion, but wasn't Beck 24 when both of those records were released? Considering Sea Change came along at 32, that's a pretty long time to expect an artist as diverse as Beck to stay the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Winston Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 No offense taken, I can see what you are saying but for me sea change just felt flimsy and too honest it just didn't grab me. Time has proved me wrong but I even enjoyed the information that's how dedicated I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Beck is pretty much flawless, considering how long his career has been. And the switch from Midnite Vultures to Sea Change was completely startling, but convincing. He's got skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife still prefers Midnight Vultures over all his other stuff, esp. the sadder things like Sea Change, which I love. But then again, I don't really think there's been much the man has done, early or late, that I don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Round the Bend is strikingly similar to Riverman by Nick Drake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Member Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 One of my favourite autumn albums this. Perfect for lounging about inside while the rain is pouring down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MastaN8 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I read somewhere recently that he had a bunch of stuff he thought was better than sea change recorded on tape that was stolen out of the green room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterE Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 i love odelay, mellow gold, and mutations really grew on me until i eventually considered it might be the best of the 3. but i lost interest after that one and sometimes i consider 'catching up'. also- scientology is the perfect religion for this guy. he could have done an operatic telling of the story of xenu and how body thetans came to be, if say scientology didn't actually exist as a thing, and nobody would have thought the lyrics/story were particularly weird... for beck.

Guest bitroast Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Anyone who can consider mutations becks best album should definitely give sea change a listen or two:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MastaN8 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Found it - "When Sea Change was coming out, I felt like those songs were sketches for something that were a little bit more evolved in that direction. I mean, there are songs on Sea Change that I wrote when I was 19. So, after finishing that record, I'd written about 35 more songs in that vein, and had solo demos of them all on these tapes in a suitcase. Around that time, I was doing a solo tour and the suitcase got left backstage in D.C. I was never able to retrieve those songs, which I thought were so much better than Sea Change. Anyone could have those songs; somebody has them. [laughs] I don't want to name any names, but I thought I recognized a few of those songs over the years!"
