Am I crazy or is there no thread yet for this? Beck's new album came out last week and it's a bit of a return to form. While I loved Sea Change, it was a bit too mellow for me to listen to very often. This new album is very reminiscent of Odelay in that it's a hodge podge of different musical styles, and is mostly produced by that album's knob turners the Dust Brothers (who are also famous for the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique). That means funky beats and samples galore.
It's not all fun and games though. There are defintely a handful of slower, more introspective tracks, and some exotic flavors as well. This one just has everything on it. I think my favorite song so far is Track 6, Earthquake Weather.
Anyone else hear this yet? What do you think? So far it's the best thing I've heard in this short year. Unless Bruce Springsteen pulls another great one out of his hat, this one could wind up being my favorite of the year.
