Okay, I finally went out and purchased Beck's new album, Sea Change. I have to admit, I think I actually like this album, but not for the reasons I expected. I figured this would be a groundbreaking piece of work, but what I discovered is that it's really OK Computer "countrified." That's right, I'm making up a new word; "countrified." I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this album. You put Nigel Godrich of Radiohead fame on the boards, and get Beck in one of his hipster-doofus country moods, and you're bound to get a quasi-masterpiece.

All in all, a good album for the range-riding-neurasthenic-somnambulists among us.
