How is this album? I thought about buying it, but a wasn't sure. What does it sound like?
Excellent album. My favourite of 2002 :yabbse-thumbup: It's a very mellow album. Can probably be most likely compared to Mutations.
its amazing
It's like Beck only has one hour to live and then he sat down by the beach and started writing songs.
I'd like to rip on this album with near-religious fervor, just to get the discussion on Sea Change going....
...but I can't.
Fucking Brilliant Beck Album. His fourth Fucking Brilliant Album, by my count.
sounds like Leonard Cohen, but even better

I've always really hated Beck before this, but that makes me want to check it out.

I disagree, it's an album about finding hope, me thinks.
Well, he wrote it after and as a way to cope with the break up with his girlfriend so I think you are both right.

I'd get a DVD-Audio player just for this.
I, too, had always had problems with Beck before this album. It seemed like his music was appreciating the rip off and his explosion of doing it, but Sea Change is one of my absolute favorite albums. Its been on my cd rotation for almost a year straight and still is the most played album for me on the average. The album feels so simplistic on first listen, but has a depth of music backing it like I've never heard before in rock music and the album really does force you to appreciate every single instrument being played.
I might possibly like this album more than Midnite Vultures, possibly.
To say the least, it is extremely excellent and much more mellow than his previous works.
This album is so good that I wanna have intercourse with it!

and a really thin cock.
anyway, i love this album. but after listening to it too many times it gets kind of old. in terms of beck's more "mellow" music, i think i like mutations better. but maybe not. all his albums are so different and individual that you can't really pick and choose between them. whichever one feels right for you at the time is the beck album you put on. so, to change what i said, at the moment, mutations is the beck album i am listening to. and that's that.
that's what I'm saying
Have none of you listened to Mutations???????
Sea Change is pretty good, but i think Mutations surpases it in every area of creativity.......lyrics, arrangements, etc
sea change is like sad sad sad, and mutations is a huge eclectic mix of acoustic beck funk. i never got into the sea change as much as a lot of people did, so i might prefer mutations.
hehe. i just watched southlander. that movie is silly.
besides Tropicalia, Canceled Check & Bottle of Blues......Mutations is pretty sad
i thought it was odd how they used Dead Melodies in Adaptation......i guess Spike just liked it, it justs plays on the car stereo in the background
to quote a review I read once: "In my opinion, if you don't like Beck, we can't even be friends".
I prefer Midnite Vultures, personally.
It's a tie. Because sometimes I am just in the mood more for Sea Change, and sometimes I am in the mood more for Midnite Vultures.
BECK IN BUSINESS!
BECK is planning to release his new album in the autumn, produced by THE DUST BROTHERS and TONY HOFFER.
The record, the follow-up to 2002's 'Sea Change' has been recorded in LA and is currently being mixed.
Working titles for songs on the album include 'Guero', 'E-Pro', 'Scarecrow' and 'Chain Reaction'.
An exact release date and live shows are to be confirmed.

beck lied to me! he promised he wouldnt make me wait so long between albums anymore, that bastard!
i sent an e-mail to myself from work to check up on Beck.
i know the Dust Brothers worked with him on Odelay, but i'm not familiar with Hoffer.
any word on what the album is going to be like? supposedly he has another album's worth of Midnite Vultures songs, a "the band" rock album worth of stuff, another album worth of Sea Change like stuff......all unreleased
a friend of mine told me once that he records every sound he makes , at least at his home, just in case inspiration erupts.
Quote from: bigideasbut i'm not familiar with Hoffer.
he worked with Beck on Midnite Vultures. He has also done some work with Air, Supergrass, Marianne Faithfull, and a few others i can't remember at this time
well, it will probably no doubt be great.
odd that his website hasn't really said anything about it, unless i missed it.

i wish they all rhymed like that.
Anyone heard anything about what "direction" Beck's taking with this one? Echo & the Bunnymen ripoffs? IDM meets Odelay? Inuit chants intermingled with subtle product placements?
