Free Music Notes for Sea Change
Free Music Review: Mental pain put to good use.
Hit: 5 Stars
This album only shows how this guy can be inspired by anything. Written while seperated form his longtime girlfriend (they got back together and married later by the way), Beck was able to put the situation to very good use. The songs scream out for attention and flow together in a way that anyone can appreciate. If you are used to Loser, Where It's At and E-Pro, you may be surprised that Beck is not always the "happy go lucky" kinda guy you imagined. This album shows that he does have his dark momments which happens to be one of the great momments in Beck's history.
Sea Change Poster
Beck is bummed. Really bummed. And if song titles such as "Lost Cause," "Lonesome Tears," "Already Dead," and "Nothing I Haven't Seen" don't make the point, his achingly sad lyrics and Sea Change's unerringly downcast sound do. While 1998's Mutations--arguably the singer-songwriter's masterwork and Sea Change's spiritual cousin--was filled with unflinching self-examination, moments of levity were found in songs like "Tropicalia." Not so on Sea Change. Beck's woozy, almost narcoleptic delivery seems to amplify the set's sense of ennui. But sad isn't necessarily bad, and despite the somber tone, there's much to praise, not the least of which is the return of producer Nigel Goderich (Mutations, Radiohead), who wraps Beck's gloom in a dreamy, warm blanket of soft strings and floating bleeps and gurgles. Like Daniel Lanois, Goderich is all about vibe, and even Beck's most bare-bones songs benefit from billowy atmospherics. That's especially true of "Paper Tiger," a restless, slowly building epic improbably propelled by a languid orchestra and Beck's expressionless drone. The inky black feel of "Round the Bend"--a glacially slow dirge with muffled vocals--may be the darkest thing Beck's ever written, not counting the very grim "Already Dead." Whatever's going on in Beck's world, at least we know he's purging, which, all things considered, may be better for his soul than ours. --Kim HughesAlternative Rock Music CDs
