I'm going to buy this without previewing any of the new songs beforehand. Beck typically surpasses my expectations.

Ah, what can be said--stunning, mystical, genius, beauty.

Waking Light is like classic Pink Floyd mixed with Elton John in the 70s. Wow.

Mark your calendar now because Beck going to appear on Saturday Night Live as musical guest on March 1st.

Time to go into town and buy this album!

New Beck AND Neneh Cherry out today! (Tuesday, February 25, 2014)

cannot wait to buy this, the lead single is stunning.

Morning Phase has been on constant repeat for over 2 weeks now...its that good.

No matter how you describe it, words do not do justice to how remarkable and engrossing this album is. Consider me floored.

um... i heard some of it and it was verrrry... slow....

i never catch lyrics on early listens but...

'Wave' has been on a loop for days... absolutely stunning!!!

Just how low does your mood have to be to enjoy this one?

Nowhere nearly as low as with Sea Change!

(good to know)

Did he have a facelift done, boy seem like he had no expression at all on his face on SNL. Scary.

''Blackbird Chain" knocks me out. Great tune.

Beck covers the new issue of Filter, the alternative and indie music mag.

^cool!

The whole thing has a dreamlike quality about it. It's very well put together, I need to listen again with some headphones...

have listened to the album twice..i am a big fan of beck..but i struggle with these slow paced albums..i struggled with "sea change" as well..i just tune out after too many laid back songs..even though the "lost cause" track is one of my favourite songs of all time...so ..yes ..its a nice album and i love "wave" but i prefer his more uptempo albums like midnite vultures or odelay.

That's how I feel, Rob! Guero [2005] is getting some rotation again though.

Different strokes for different folks

I wasn't expecting to like this after the SNL performance - and I still think I prefer him in a more uptempo/absurd mode, but this definitely is an addictive album. I love the way his voice sounds in the mix. And the melodies are actaully stronger than Sea Change IMO.

It is basically an album for people who liked Sea Change though. That was never my bag.

Still with Scientology? No, thanks!
