Beck : Modern Guilt (album)

Every album will usually get better the more you listen to it....As does this one. I wish that Beck would go folk again...

Average. Beck used to have a sense of humour.

So yeah, I vote Very good.

Its a fantastic album but I do see that in it. Not really disappointing though because Cellphone's Dead is good itself.

I enjoy Modern Guilt the more I listen to it. It's catchy and addictive as a whole. However, no specific songs jump out at me. For a normal band I would give it a high rating because it's outstanding music. But it's Beck. One of the greatest musicians of this era. I waited since The Information and it was nowhere near the quality he had in that album or Guero. So I said Average.

This dissapointed me compared to his other albums, but was by no means bad. I'll vote Average.

i actually voted excellent. One of the few albums to come out this year that is very cohesive. Every track blends beautifully into the next to form a nice narrative. Gets better with every listen.

I still like this one.

Only a couple tracks that I skip over and a few of my favorite Beck tracks ever.

Beck is a classic, I have enjoyed his music since I first heard Mellow Gold. Modern Guilt is yet another evolution of Beck...my favorite track, Gamma Ray.

It's a very well done album. It's cohesive and moving in places. I really liked The Information, but I think this album outdoes it in many places. The Information did have more immediate standouts though.

I'm just glad he didn't dish out another Odelay clone like Guero. I have some affection for Guero, but it's not one I listen to often.
