Product Description

Amazon.com

On The Information, Beck Hansen is seriously bummed out. Not that he sounds it as much as he did on 2002's laconic, Fred Neil-worshipping Sea Change. Technology and stuff, and the way it gets in the way of human interaction, is the subtext if not the full-on concept at play here. Recorded with art-rock anal-retentive Nigel Goodrich at the helm, work began on this album not long after Sea Change but was shelved for a few years while Mr. Hansen made 2005's Guero with the Dust Brothers. Unsurprisingly, it sounds a bit like both of those. The trappings of minimalist pop, fuzzy folk, click-hop, hip-hop, baroque psychedelia, and funky pop are to be found on this endearing release. Like Jean Cocteau or David Bowie, Beck is an artistic chameleon whose greatest gift is knowing which artists to borrow from, and when. The cover artwork consists of stickers that you can arrange however you like, which perhaps appeals too much to your own nostalgic/retro, "Trapper Keeper" sensibilities. And yet, it's kind of awesome, something you can't believe has never been done before. Much like the album it adorns. --Mike McGonigal

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Beck, Aug 6 2007
By Brian Christie (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Far from being "just OK", THE INFORMATION is a fully realized and satisfying album. There's a lot of depth here and if you give it a chance, you will agree.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just okay, Oct 6 2006
By Rob Ring (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Firstly, I am a fan of Beck. A huge fan - so don't think that I'm just someone who "doesn't get it". But to me "The Information" is just okay. It's not a bad album, but there's nothing on it that really stands out either. It sounds exactly like you would expect Beck to sound. If you were to ask some other musician to record an album that sounded like typical Beck you would get "The Information". What I've always liked about Beck is that he isn't afraid to experiment with different styles & genres, so this new release is a little anti-climactic - a mish mash of recycled ideas without any really strong tracks.

The stickers are a cute idea, I like the lo-fi videos, but the music is a little tired.

If you like Beck you will like this album - but you probably won't LOVE it.
