Someone has ripped out Beck's heart and we are all the richer for it. His new album, Sea Change is flat out the greatest album I've heard in years. Forget Coldplay or Aimee Mann (sorry Aimee), this is the best album of 2002, and likely to make Top 10 of the decade.
From the opening song, "The Golden Age" Beck leads us down his latest musical path. A man who has given us such innovative works as Odelay and Mutations has finally opened up his personal side and turned his innovative genius to what music SHOULD be about... loss and pain and despair. Heavily country influenced, the album continues Beck's ability to avoid categorization. It is lush and absorbing. Real late night listening.
No single track can convey how amazing this album is. The sum is truly greater than the parts. Go buy it... now. Three thumbs up.
