Beck The Information 2006

[shawners]

Just heard this album. I have been a big fan of his for years. His style is his own. I have no idea of how he comes up with great lyrics and a funky beat. This has to be one of his best, its far superior then guerro or sea change. Which is probably why he released it within a year of his last recording. If you get a chance to listen to it, do it!!

yes sir, new beck. owned.

Hailed as "a deeply natural songwriter" (THE NEW YORKER) who "defies
expectations in his own way" (TIME) and "Gen XÆs most famous absurdist"
(BLENDER), BECK is the single most inventive and eclectic figure to emerge from
the æ90s alternative revolution. In an era obsessed with junk culture, Beck
seamlessly blends pop, folk, hiphop, indie/underground and electronica with the
end result being an authentically uncategorizeable musical style that
nevertheless has sold millions of records and scored multiple Grammy awards.
Three years in the making, THE INFORMATION is the album Beck began work on in
2003 with producer Nigel Godrich (RadioheadÆs OK Computer, Kid A; BeckÆs Sea
Change, Mutations) and finally completed this year once GueroÆs massive success
and encore touring engagements, as well as NigelÆs other commitments, were
fulfilled.

THE INFORMATION is comprised of 15 songs and a DVD featuring homemade videos for
each of the 15 songs shot in-studio during the actual sessions. The artwork for
The Information is either non-existent or infinite, depending on oneÆs point of
view. Each copy will come in a blank package with one of four collectible
sticker sheets specially designed by European and American artists and
representative of the unique Beck aesthetic. The stickers will give every Beck
fan the opportunity to participate in the creative process by designing his or
her own one of a kind CD cover.

Soldier jane is an awesome song on the album. I listen to the radio maybe 20-30 minutes a day TOPS.. And havent heard any airplay of beck.. OF course the only alternative/metal radio station is The Edge.. Everything else clearchannels has bought and changed formats to keep them from competing against each other.

I hadn't heard about this one either Shawners...thanks for the input, will check it out :)

I like this album, but really havent listened to it enough to say if it is better than his others. I am still a big Mellow Gold, Odelay fan. Like all his albums they usually get better the more you listen to them.

[Jared Moya]

This album is VERY, VERY, good.
