Candiru Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Midnite Vultures is 110% class and the fact that he went from that to Sea Change is like head exploding genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I've always kinda held his old goofy stuff against him (e.g. Midnite Vultures)... how dare you I agree with Limpy. There is some cool shit about some of it, but in general it's hard for me to take seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, and... I've always kinda held his old goofy stuff against him (e.g. Midnite Vultures)... how dare you I agree with Limpy.

Adieu Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I don't like over-the-top fun. I like under-the-bed fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOCfan Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 If jazz I apologise (+ I know some here will have heard this if they've downloaded the leak), but here's another track from the album, Waking Light: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Member Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm not sure, but this album is pretty damned great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jimmy McMessageboard Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Not convinced by the preview track. sounds like sea change but with something missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 yea, I feel like if this weren't beck, I'd have tossed it by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apriorion Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 It's OK, but they really should stop with the "it's the follow-up to 'Sea Change'." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Agreed. It's just marketing BS. I'm pretty sure the press releases were billing it as a follow up to seachange with the one quote from beck saying its not a follow up to sea change but more a California 70s rock style album. The first half of the album kind of bores me (Morning and Heart is a Drum are alright and then I zone out until Wave comes). The second half is a lot better I think. Much better songs. And it ends on Waking Light, which is easily the highlight for me. I'm not sure I would like this album if I wasn't a beck fan. But I am a beck fan, and have been since before sea change.. And this album sounds like beck. I'm happy with it. No complaints, so to speak :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 What's crappy is the sea change part 2 label made its way on to lazy album cover. That would be my complaint. It looks like high school level photoshopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I don't really like his tychos music.. but.. Tycho could have and probably would have produced a better album cover for Morning Phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 All that stupid voice FX : Enough! All those old 90's people are doing it (see the latest Flaming Lips or Nine Inch Nails). Can't even understand the lyrics between all the gimmickry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 sounds like psych ballad rock made by a scientologist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I haven't liked much of Beck's stuff since Odelay, aside from the track he covered for Eternal Sunshine and the One Foot in the Grave reissue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I don't really like his tychos music.. but.. Tycho could have and probably would have produced a better album cover for Morning Phase Totally, I was really shocked at how underwhelming the cover was. Looks like the art of a MOR early 00s indie rock album. Agreed. It's just marketing BS. I'm pretty sure the press releases were billing it as a follow up to seachange with the one quote from beck saying its not a follow up to sea change but more a California 70s rock style album. Yeah I always found Sea Change to be too sleepy and dull, I gave Morning Phase a listen last night and found it to be far more mellow but engaging. More like Beach House or older Midlake or something like that. 70s rock is a good comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
