I was a little excited for Beck's new album Modern Guilt's release. And the other day I finally gave it a listen. I adore the cover art by the way, but it's so unlike his usual technicolored ones.What I did like was how "Beck-y" (that's a hell of an adjective, I know) it sounds; he stayed very true to himself. All the songs have his signature calm-coolness and light melodrama stamped on them, but even with that, most aren't too eventful.
It's certainly easy listening music, per usual, but of course, none will ever live up to "Loser"s amazingness. I liked the opening track "Orphan" and a few others, but found the title song "Modern Guilt" strangely aggressive.
I won't be purchasing this one, but if you're a fan, by all means, give it a listen.
