i think it might be better than Sea Change as well... certainly less sad and more uptempo anyway.
best since then regardless

Beck discusses new album on NPR:
http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2014/ ... n=20140204
They say he's pretty hard on himself. Well, this is the same guy who wrote "Nobody's Fault But My Own".

Re: Beck - Morning Phase (February!)
I like the sound of that. I like Guero more than Sea Change, however. And The Information had some pretty damn good songs on it...but a lot of fat should've been cut. I gave Modern Guilt another shot yesterday, I still only find it mildly entertaining.solace wrote:i think it might be better than Sea Change as well... certainly less sad and more uptempo anyway.

Re: Beck - Morning Phase (February!)
if we are honest sea change is prob overrated and not even in the top 3 beck albums. I mean I do love the mood of Sea Change, but when I think about it in retrospect I can only recall like 3 songs
right now this isn't pulling me at all but I hope it will.

I haven't heard anything beyond Blue Moon, but I'm really looking forward to this album.

This is good though, guys. real good.
I'm going to hold off on critique until I get the official release.

I love "Country Down". Beck said in that NPR interview that he orginally intended to write a Nashville record. ErrrmaGod. DO IT, BECK.

From what I've read he basically did but some of it ended up on this record.Harry Lime wrote:My favorite is Phase-Waking Lightzeb wrote:The Blue Moon>Unforgiven>Wave run is 10/10.

I usually can't get into stuff this mellow, but like Sea Change this album is too good to not get into. Nice mellow stuff.

Re: Beck - Morning Phase (February!)
Yeah, I'm going to use a word I don't use too often when describing something nowadays. Adore. As in, I adore this album, start to finish. It's better than I had even hoped. And at this point, I'm not even sure which song I like the best yet. It's got a great start and a great end, and the ebbs & flows are fantastic throughout.
What a perfect 'morning' album to listen to after a hard night...
