Every time I listen to The Information I feel this way.

Yeah The Information is like his No Code. Ramshackling and zig-zagging its way to greatness.

This makes me want to listen again

Not to keep repping for "Strange Apparition" but it has one of my favorite opening lines to a song ever.

The original CD package came with a disc full of low budget videos for each song. Recurring characters and themes popped up throughout the album. Those videos, to me, really got to the essence of Beck's music.

Has there been anyone over the last 25 years better than Beck at balancing humor and earnestness and irony? (Can you balance 3 things at once?)

Yeah. I have that. It's been a long time since I've watched it but I remember it being pretty great.

I don't think so. He's the master. He can really do anything, and do it well, and be respected for it. I true and recognized artist.

Finally thew on my Guero LP today. Sounds lovely, and plays at 45RPM (boy, did it sound weird before I figured that out). As I've mentioned before, I've probably spent less time with this than any other Beck record, so it's cool to just sit down and listen and not do much else.

Also, some of you guys rate Modern Guilt way, way too low--that record rips.

No doubt -- wonderful melodies on that record, subtle at first but total ear candy after a few listens. I especially like the middle run of "Modern Guilt," "Youthless," and "Walls."

I really like this record 'coz it has a real cool throwback, late '50s/early '60s vibe. Not original, per se, but unique within Beck's catalog.

Guero is wonderful. There are a bunch of great songs there. I definitely need more time/listens with Modern Guilt. I've only listened to that album a hand full of times and it has never stood out for me.

One of the better Danger Mouse collabs.

The Gnarls Barkley albums are two of my favorite '00's albums. I was really high on Danger Mouse when "Modern Guilt" came out.

i kinda like Morning Phase. i don't know much about Beck, or know how his albums rank with fans, but is it typically that low on lists?

I may have listened to those two records more than any other in a 5-year time period.
