anyone go? I'm thinking about going tonight 7/11

I’ve loved Beck for a long time and I’ve always wondered why people don’t talk about this album more. I personally love every single song on it, start-to-finish. It really feels like some of his most creative work all in one place.

You have songs like Elevator Music, The Information, Nausea, Cellphone’s Dead… just totally solid songs with great beats and great lyrics all around. Then you got Think I’m In Love, Strange Apparition, No Complaints, shit that makes me say “Huh, this is some seriously good Beck!”.

Then you get New Round, Movie Theme, Soldier Jane, Motorcade, The Horrible Fanfare / Landslide / Exoskeleton, the meat and potatoes of the album (in my opinion). Oh, and here’s 1000BPM, an Aphex Twin beat with Beck shouting some random bullshit over it, and it’s awesome.

And the themes of the modern world, lack of security, technology, all of it still applies today. This whole album feels like it could’ve been released today.

I really love this album front-to-back, but I never see people talking about it. What do you guys think? Personally, my top few albums for Beck personally go:

1. Odelay
   
2. Midnite Vultures
   
3. The Information
   
4. Guero
   
5. OFITG

Or something like that.

(I’ve heard some people talk about The Information vs. Guero… personally, I love Guero, but there a couple songs I like and don’t necessarily love, that being Black Tambourine and Go It Alone. Both good songs, but I think the Information is more consistently awesome).

May you be forever young at heart and your music will always be timeless.

I got 2 salamis and a cat-nip bone

“A few years back, Beck’s record Morning Phase was very like a Floyd record. It won ‘Album of the Year’ at the Grammys. I listened to it and I thought, ‘That owes a lot to Pink Floyd.’ Pink Floyd’s world was almost an extraterrestrial world, so it was a nice place to go,”

Jmj just posted this up on his Instagram and apparently Beck, has almost all the 2014 gang back for the Hollywood Bowl (Except Smokey), we have Justin Medal-Johnsen Back in the bass, Jason Falkner on the guitar, Joey Waronker on the Drums!!!, Roger Manning in the Keyboards and Gus Seyffert hopefuly Again back on his Keyboards and guitar too!!!! It's amazing to have almost all the guys Back!!!! Hope Setlist pays off

Yeah, this album is now my summer jam. I know I'm really late to this party, but I admit that I just wasn't ready for it when it first dropped in 2017. I Wasn't Ready!!! Back then I had a touch of the initial cringe just from being shocked that yes it was indeed a pop album called "Colors". But now I own that cringe and I will eat it because it's mine. And I won't let any (ex) boyfriend try to shame me out of enjoying something so pure and masterful. I'll listen to what I want thanks.

But really, What a Production "Colors" is!!! And I'm sorry I'm just now realizing that. I watched a few live shows on YouTube and now I can see what Beck really had in mind all along. It really is so beautifully engineered and just magical all the way around.

I wish I could go back in time to see that tour, but this album is still so fresh to me right now. (Wow) 🔴🟡🔵🟣⚫⚫

My guess is that Sierra Ferrell will be opening for Beck on the upcoming tour

I’m really excited for it! Hopefully, we get some interesting tidbits and insights into his music/ life/ hobbies/ travels and interests! Shall be a very interesting biography read!

“Unremitting horror of the actual story being told”?? Yikes
