Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Beck's new album Modern Guilt, produced with Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton, will be released July 8, 2008. The new album contains 10 new songs, and with the exception of last year's Grammy-nominated, digital-only single "Timebomb", Modern Guilt is the first new material Beck has written since the prolific stretch that produced 2005's platinum Guero and 2006's universally acclaimed The Information. Modern Guilt is a tightly assembled group of songs that range in lyrical tone from introspection and social commentary to off the cuff wordplay and lighthearted humor. Musically, the album's ten tracks vacillate between economy and experimentation, hybrid and pop classicism, while consistently manifesting Beck and Danger Mouse's shared interest in psych-rock, folk, electronic minimalism and orchestration. Beck is about to embark on a tour of the UK and Europe, followed by a number of US headline and festival appearances, culminating in Beck's biggest hometown headline show to date, September 20, 2008 at the Hollywood Bowl.

 Rating: - guilt made modern?!?Being a huge admirer of producer Danger Mouse's work (Gorillaz, Gnarls Barkley, Danger Mouse) and a advent Beck fan, I was absolutely flabbergasted when I heard the two would be collaborating. I was even more amazed once the revelation actually came about. Boasting ten songs of the most highly "beck-tacular", "Modern Guilt" reveals Beck at one of his most thoughtfully confessing moments. Full of references (positive ones, if I may add) to global warming, wisdom and even tackling the actuality of ... Read More: Rating:  - The Slump ContinuesBeck's musical slump continues. It's really a tragedy because he was on such a prolific ride with every album he released from 1994 and 1996's modern classics "Mellow Gold" and "Odelay," respectively, to 1998's stunning off-roader "Mutations," on to 1999's eclectic grower "Midnite Vultures," and finally to his career's pinnacle, 2002's depressingly beautiful "Sea Change". The gossip around "Sea Change" was the love of his life broke his heart and out came his most raw, honest and ingenious work of ... Read More: Rating:  - The Future Sound of RockThe word "modern" in the title is fitting for this album cause I think Beck has created a new style in rock music which is new and a style that I percieve will try to be duplicated again and again . The album is just a little over 30 minutes, but I don' t want to focus on its length, but rather its unique style and sound. Songs like Replica, Chemtrials, Walls, and Gamma Rays sound like songs well ahead of their time. Modern Guilt somewhat reminds me of The Velvet Underground and Nico album from the ... Read More: Rating: - Beck's Experiments Leave Mixed Ruselts SometimesSeems a very mixed CD to me. I would have put the tracks In another progression. But does have a few awesome tracks. I had an Idea what to expect and I should never do that with Beck he changes too much. Another reason for 3 Instead of 4 stars Is the CD Is very short like 35 minutes. Should be EP priced almost. No not almost 1 less song and It's an EP Rating: - Beck evolves on newest album to create 'Modern' masterpiece Musical chameleon Beck released his latest album, "Modern Guilt," on his 38th birthday and the songs found therein display an artist far removed from the 23-year-old Los Angeles slacker who was telling us he was 'un perdedor' on "Mellow Gold," his 1994 breakthrough release. This disc finds Mr. Hansen truly exploring the heavy themes of death and personal reflection for the first time, and the results are nothing short of stellar. Middle age, it seems, has its benefits. Beck tried this feat, ... Read More: |
