Description of Modern Guilt [Vinyl]

Beck's new album Modern Guilt, produced with Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton.

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.

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 )
