Music reviews of Modern Guilt
Music Review: One of his better releases, gets better with each listen.
Rating: 5 Stars
First off, what is with the editorial review by Ernesto S?nchez? I am positive he didn't listen to this CD at all, nor is he familiar with Beck's style. Nothing in is review has anything to do with the content or quality of the CD. Listen to the samples and you will see what I mean.
That said, I am a big fan of Beck and enjoy the different styles and approaches he takes in each outing. Modern Guilt is unique in that it combines much of his past styles in a very enjoyable way. The lyrics are memorable and thought provoking, the guitar riffs and drum beats are very cool sounding and catchy, and each song has a different yet familiar style. Also, I can't find one bad track on the CD, I like all of the tracks and never have the urge to skip during play.
Description of Modern Guilt
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.

In the last few years, Beck has freely sailed the seas of electronic and alternative music, but he is now back on land with Modern Guilt, an album that gravitates mostly toward electronic music and that, unfortunately, only has a couple of songs that really stand out ("Modern Guilt," "Orphans"). The problem has nothing to do with the fact that this CD is more electronic than acoustic. The sound is poor, and it sounds as if Beck were actually singing out of a barrel. Also, the beat doesn't change from one song to the next, and if you don't listen carefully to each song, you could not tell when tracks change. Despite Beck being one of the most creative and versatile musicians in recent years, the songs of this album have no depth. Let's just hope that Beck surprises with his next. --Ernesto S?nchez (People en Espa?ol
) En los ?ltimos a?os, Beck ha navegado libremente por las aguas de las m?sica electr?nica y la alternativa, ahora est? regreso al mundo de la m?sica con Modern Guilt, un disco que se inclina m?s hacia la m?sica electr?nica y que desgraciadamente s?lo tiene un par de canciones que se destacan como "Modern Guilt" y "Orphans." Y el problema no tiene nada que ver con el hecho de que sea un disco m?s electr?nico que ac?stico, el sonido del disco es muy pobre, pareciera que Beck est? cantando dentro de una cubeta, y el beat no parece cambiar de una canci?n a la otra. Si no se pone extrema atenci?n a cada canci?n no se dar? cuenta del momento en que cambian los tracks. Si bien Beck es uno de los m?sicos m?s creativos y vers?tiles de los ?ltimos a?os hay que decir que este es un disco en el que los temas carecen de profundidad. Esperemos que Beck realmente nos sorprenda con su siguiente producci?n. --Ernesto S?nchez (People en Espa?ol )
