I neither like nor dislike that song, which is sort of a bummer – – Beck has never been one that I would have pegged for mediocrity, and yet here we are.

Beck's last good album for me was Guero. I was so excited for Morning Phase because of how much I loved Sea Change (I had the CD, SACD, DVDA, and even the Blu-Ray) and that was a let down. Maybe it was expectations, but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped.

I felt the same way after one listen. And I don't feel like listening again right now.
This ended up being better than expected, considering I was not at all fan of several of the early singles, but this is definitely Beck trying on a pop hat for a record. It's probably the record that sounds most self-conscious about trying to do a certain thing since Midnite Vultures The title track is my favorite and Wow sticks out like a sore thumb; I don't like the song and it doesn't really sound remotely like anything else here.
