Interesting, as I had the same reaction after buying all his stuff up to "The Information". That album gave me the impression that he had just run out of ideas and was basically treading water. I did pick up "Modern Guilt" from the library recently and it is an improvement over "The Information" but not enough that I felt that I had to add it to my collection. Maybe he's past his creative peak, or maybe there are still some masterpieces on the horizon. Only time will tell.
 
Trying to be fair with Beck, one could say that he's got talent, but at the same time the good ideas don't come too often to his mind.

Rated a "3" the last time I heard it. I'm promoting it to a "5" now.

Beck's best effort by far.......this song is good, but far from the best this album has to offer.  Go get it.

Beck and the Eels are slowly merging into a single entity.

With the volumn down low, some of the melody reminds me of 'He's So Vain'

Every song I hear off the new album I like by itself, but taken as a whole album it all sort of blends together and ends too soon. (still like it though)

Not yet as far as I know. And since his styles are so diverse and eclectic, a 'Greatest Hits' with a mix from all his albums would not flow well together. But hey, that what iTunes is for! Just get a couple songs from each album for a good sample. A quick internet search will tell you which song/songs were the hits from each album (although IMO the hits weren't always the best songs).

I had this really weird dream last night that Beck had died, and we were going through his stuff. It was all a bunch of random Americana—even his parents seemed to be just lying around.  And someone said, "So this is where he gets his ideas..."

That would be cool if it were true, but I think Beck's scientology was passed on to him by his parents.

This song is great with good headphones on -- seriously, try it. Not those weak ear buds, but good headphones. There is almost a pounding in your chest from the baseline!!!!!!!!!
