It's not often that I buy an album anymore. Furthermore, it's not often that I buy an album and listen to it the entire way though. I grew up with LPs as a kid, but it seems that as we moved to CDs and then to digital formats of various kinds, that we moved away from the album. Further I moved away from enjoying the album as a whole.

So today, I was curious. And I bought myself a copy of Beck's new album. I pressed play on the first song and never stopped listening. I kind of want to thank Kanye for bringing my attention to it. Kind of.

What do you think?
Of the album?
Of Kanye acting like a petulant child?
Of track one?

Any relation to Jeff Beck? I think Hap expressed some opinion of this group winning and the reappearance of Mr. West - he summed it up nicely.

Beck is a person, not a group...his name is Bek Campbell, but uses Beck Hansen, or just Beck, musically...

no relation to Jeff Beck...

plays 14 instruments...14 more than either Beyoncé or Kanye...

well, he does have a brother, so I suppose the answer is yes, even if it is not the Hansen brother you are looking for

You should have contacted me and I would have sent you a copy wink

Yes...I enjoy this album. Check out his earlier "similar type" ablbum Sea of Change.

I was also curious about this album because of what happened at the Grammys - so I went on you tube to listen to some of the music. Sorry QCL, I couldn't make it through the first song. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not my cup of tea. I also can't or won't say it wasn't deserving of the award, as I didn't listen to any of the other albums nominated.

It was funny that my 15 year old daughter complained about this "new, unknown guy named Beck" winning the award. He's been around for a while, and I do like his song "Loser" (which I'm pretty sure is older than my daughter).

I don't think that Kanye realizes that whenever he gives his opinion, that most people will quickly dismiss his opinion because 1) he is married to a Kardashian and 2) he is Kanye West.

I saw Beck a few years ago when he opened for the Rolling Stones. He gave a pretty cool performance of "Where its at" using a fully set kitchen table as instruments.

I was one of the younger ones at the concert and a few older folks around me turned around and wanted to know who Beck was.

This reminds me of all the kids that don't know who Paul McCartney is and said he needed to thank Kanye and Rianna for making him famous.

And maybe that's why I liked it...I hated the earworm that was Loser laugh And now it's in my head...

Much more nicely put that I would have done.

As for Paul McCartney thanking Riana, how sad that today's youth know so little history of the world of music. None of today's singer/songwriters are leaving the kind of mark that the Beatles, Stones, or even Michael Jackson have made.

Same was said during Madonna's time. (but I will agree most is not listenable)

I am trying to expose my daughter to as many musical artists as I can. I sing Rolling Stones to her at bedtime as lullaby’s.

you must really hate your daughter to subject her to that torture... shocked one of the most over-rated bands in the history of music...hey, mick, when I accidentally hear on of your screeching tunes, I don't get any satisfaction either...and i've tried...

I can't see myself singing Honky Tonk Woman, Paint it Black, Sympathy for the Devil, Satisfaction or You Can't Always get What You Want to my grandaughter!!!!

I am more of a Van Morrison kind of guy.....

I sing You Can't Always Get What You Want. I think it is especially fitting when she is fighting sleep.

OK
Never heard of Beck before they started talking about him on the morning shows the next day. Can't say that I know many of the new young artists or like a lot of the music. Take me back to the 70s and I'm good.

Beck has been performing for close to 25 years, so not sure I would classify him as "new" music. he has published 12 albums since 1993...

much of his early airplay was through college and indie stations, and that is still a huge portion of his following. he is one of these musical savants that can play a ton of instruments...seems to be more concerned with meeting his own criteria rather than just making money

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line
I listened on You Tube yesterday. It seems rather mellow. Nice. But I would have to be in a mellow mood....

Walden,
It was nice to listen to while finishing up my Appraisal Audit and writing up recommendations.

this may explain why it is the best selling album ever in the state of Colorado...

Beck's probably my favorite Scientologist.
