Don't give 2 cents about Beck's religion as long as he does not start peaching it.  Not much of a fan either but thats more because most of his stuff just doesn't do much for me.


 
Oh, i don't know.  I think I'd like it if Beck would peach his religion.   It could be tasty.  And worth more than 2 cents.

Freedom of religion does not apply to dangerous cults.  Scientology needs an enema.

I think it's more like abstract art.  You can find your own meaning.  But there is no "true" meaning as such in the majority of his songs. 

e.g. "my time is a piece of wax fallin' on a termite who's chokin' on the splinters"

I dig the new album, hasn't grabbed me as much as Guero (or Guerolito for that matter) but it is still quality. Gotta respect Beck's use of circuit bent instruments (especially the track "1000 BPM")
 
Agreed.  Beck is truly a creative and talented artist.  I've been a fan since his debut release.  Concerning the circuit bent instruments, check out this site for more information:

For me, Beck can do no wrong.

It took a while to get into "Sea Change," but everything else he's done has been pure genius!

Beck seems to write with more focus on the meter and rhyme than on the meaning of the words. Y'all can shout me down if ya disagree.



Yeah but when I'm at work I mostly just ignore the words and hear the music so this works well for me.

Never quite got Beck. Not a great voice, no haunting melodies, perhaps a bit too clever for his own good.
Whatever, it just doesn't work for me

My daughter took the stickers from the album and decorated the walls of her room with them. That was not planned but a nice twist on four-year-old art.

Including the copulating beasts of burden?


were they self-adhesive or did you have to lick them?

This has become one of my favorite tracks on the disc. Quite a nice tune, even with the buzzing detuned-sounding guitar.

i would call this album a guero/mutations hybrid with a twist of midnite vultures & a dash of sea change.

how's that for a recipe for 'awesome?'
