Reviews (page 13 of 14)
Usually love Beck, but this sounds like he's trying to sound like Eels, but falls short.
2.5 Not my vibe. I really wanted to like it. I think it's good background music for a Holiday Inn lobby maybe. Just too boring
Boring 2.5
Got half way thru this sad sack of crap album before I started to FF the melancholy. Not at all what I want from Beck.
It isn't one of the best albums, I've heard, but, it's an okay album.
The melancholic Beck is sometimes hard to swallow. Sometimes, when it's raining, it's Sunday, and we're inside and looking at the gloomy world, this album can grab you by the throat, But mostly I turn it off after 3 or 4 songs because it doesn't do anything. Not a lot of album do that
he lost his turntables :(
Weird
Not my favorite Beck Album -- pretty boring compared to Odelay or Mellow Gold. Just OK
Rock de cantautor. Me ha parecido un tostonazo. Un 2.
Found this all just a bit of a drone and depressing, not for me.
Beck makes sad songs about sad things, This is a very emotionally charged painful album, perhaps had I been at a different stage in my life id have resonated more. But as stands I found this a really difficult listen that I couldn’t finish, too many melancholy songs blended into one long continuous sad note. Paper tiger is also genuinely an awful song. Bland, long and sad.
Ain't no Jeff Beck that is for sure
I'm familiar with some earlier work from Beck... What the fuck happened here? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the backstory, but seriously? How does a romantic break-up change an artist's music so drastically for the worse? This is a total bore. I can't stand "sad man with a guitar" music, and adding orchestral elements on top doesn't help me. Hopefully this guy got over it eventually.
2.5/5
HEIKKO NÄKYY ALBUM COVERISTA MYÖS..
Not a fan.
Maybe real Beckheads can get excited about this one, because I cannot. Does he always sing like this, or is this just really Chris Cornell inspired?
I don't think 1001 albums needs to include more than one Beck album. This one was meandering
A bit too samey and mellow for me this one. I much prefer his later work where he mixes in more upbeat tracks.
Was a bit boring but had a few songs i liked
Bom de ouvir..numa tarde de domingo, lendo um livro talvez. Muito melancólico, todo o disco tem uma pegada triste. Porém, a sonoridade é muito boa, a voz dele está excelente, a mixagem também excelente. Porém, não é nada marcante. Passou batido nos meus fones de ouvido sem que nada tivesse ficado guardado no cérebro, salvo o fato de ser um álbum triste e bem feito.
lame🥱

#257. This album sucks. It's just boring, with nothing going for it. It's hard to pick a favorite song from this album because none of them are any good. But hey, at least this book is sticking with theme of finding an artist that has some good songs, and then picking an album that none of those songs are on. Why is there so much of that? 2/5: stupid
Lush arrangements but I’m not really into it
Enjoy most other stuff by Beck, but this was a bit boring and not as weird or interesting as the other stuff.
Wat is dit een ontzettend saai album. Ik heb het idee dat het continue het zelfde nummer is met Beck als zeikend middelpunt. Het is net geen 1 want Paper Tiger en Lost Cause zijn nog wel interessant muzikaal gezien, maar verder is dit net zo spannend als een glas water. FAVO: Paper tiger, Lost Cause
such a bore!!!! i didnt like it, really, but i didnt hate it
I’m not a huge Beck fan
Ok
Not really my thing to be honest. Lost Cause the clear standout
A lot of moments of true beauty in the arrangements but I'm sorry but when it comes to heartbreak songs Beck's singing style just does not do it for me.
Synes Hyperspace e bedre, men da e kanskje mest fordi da har et kult cover. Becken blir litt for tam for meg, hilsen person som bare hørre på ambient og drone metal
Sad post break up Beck album
Such classic jazzy deliciousness! Never knew this man exiseted and I’m so excited to have come across him.
A middle-of-the-road space-folk singer-songwriter record. Inoffensive, sometimes pretty, often uncompelling. The guitar and the strings sound great; Beck's vocal performances are pretty good when he's not doing a Gordon Lightfoot or Kurt Cobain impression. I'm not sure why this particular Beck album is here. Highlights: The Golden Age, Paper Tiger
No está malo, solo que nada capturó mi atención
hélt ég myndi fíla þetta
Not bad, but I didn’t like it much. Peaceful sounds, I wasn’t lyric focused, some moments of ambient or rock out, but I’d pass
Dull
I'm not a fan of Beck. This album has some interesting production choices, especially with his use of strings throughout, but a lot of it is really slow. It isn't something I'm likely to revisit. 2/5
A pretty chill listen. Didn't love anything here, but it was well-made and was a pretty relaxing background-music type situation.
Like
Not quite Beck
If laying down in the fetal position and crying is your thing, well do I have an album for you! I actually like beck's first couple of albums but this one just feels really down and sad
ganz nett
this album sounded good but was so slow and lethargic that i was struggling to pay attention to it. the slurred vocals made me feel like i had accidentally hit "0.5x playback" on my app. Sunday Sun was the highlight for me.
I thought it was fine. Some nice sounds, but nothing grabbed me.
A bit like Beck, unplugged compared to his other albums.
Vond ik helemaal niks eerlijk gezegd. Echt zo saai en rustig
Non mi ha convinto
mi è rotolato via un coglione
Previously rated: Odelay (3/5) ********************** My brother, who is a Beck fan, was mocking me the other day for giving the Deee-Lite album a 4/5. I would listen to a fun album like that any day of the week over the dreary dreck of Sea Change. Maybe "dreck" is a bit too strong, but this album was dull, and I didn't really like any of the tracks.
Is Beck the same kid from Superbad? Superbad was funny. Was this album an attempt at humor or purposely slow and boring? It certainly wasn't funny but major props on the slow and boring part. Couldn't wait for this to end. Last couple albums have been brutal. I did make it through a second listen, but unfortunately it made me want to score this lower. I do not see any reason to revisit this album. 2
Bit too much Beck
The sound of crying into a PBR tall boy. Gorgeous production and there's moments where I almost get it, especially with the orchestration, but overall very much not for me.
Rock, s.s., 2002 -> 2
found it kinda dull and depressing but at least listenable. I’d give it 2.5 stars.
Hmm, didn't like it, the voice is nothing special and the songs aren't something I like in the moment
Ist mir deutlich zu melancholisch.
Surprisingly lousy and boring, even as background music. I like Beck, too, but this was a letdown.
This album shows Beck has range and the ability to sing ballads, but for me they are lacking direction. Most of the songs seem to get lost in the trippy background production, and separate you from the vocals. It could have been just as profound with him singing in front of simpler arrangements.
All the songs sound the same
Beck without any of the edge and/or whimsy. There are solid tracks on this LP ("Paper Tiger," "Lost Cause," "Already Dead") but the overall impression is: huge orchestration for sadsack songs that Beck sloughs together, singing as though he has a handful of loose change in his mouth. Ultimately the project's sin is that without anything clever (and everything dispairing) to say, nothing greatly catches the attention, and nothing lingers too long. Very dour.
Didn’t love it. Least favorite Beck album.
4 / 10 Muuuyyy aburrido.
Il parle d'une séparation et ce sont des ballades tout le long. Belle guitare accompagnée de pas mal de mélancolie. Rien de wow, quoique ça s'écoute relax une journée de pluie ou sur la route.
Sea Change by Beck. Sad Beck is best Beck, sad Beck still bad beck.
Sad. A bit like Leonard Cohen, one octave higher.
Nah
Depressing
Beetje sad gepingel
eh
I don’t know any of these songs from Beck!
Why? Not funky. Pseudo symphoni
Meh
Um acústico inócuo.
Pretty slow and mellow. Couple songs that I thought were ok but this album is not for me. Geurro significantly better
This record is kinda pretty but mostly sad and boring. I generally dig sad, but not when it’s boring. “Paper Tigers” is a cool track, though. I believe that was the single.
I don’t get this one but I love other back tracks though!
Maybe I was in the right way today. Maybe I was expecting something different. I certainly wasn't expecting so many slow, introspective, and depressing songs.
Pretty mopey. Or occasionally pretty and completely mopey. The arrangement on "It's All In Your Mind" is a treat but the rest of the record is too moody for my taste.
Good rhythm, but somewhat boring after two or three songs
Boring Slow Depressing
Suena bien pero lo olvido según termino de escucharlo. 2/5
I have not heard this album or artist before. It wasn’t a bad album, just didn’t really do anything for me. Most of the songs sounded similar so there was none that stood out to me. I feel like I could give this album another chance though.
Meh
Every song sounds the same. All downers.
Ok too ballady.
I'm not smart enough to know what good music is but I do know what makes me depressed when I listen to it.
music to fall asleep to lyrics might be good though, did not pay attention to it
I like Beck normally
Track 1: cool acoustic progression. Track 2: okay not my favorite song. Track 3: once again okay but not amazing. Track 4: cool string part to end it. Kinda like a day in the life. Track 5: meh Track 6: I like the instruments used Track 7: once again slow and okay Track 8: I like the tension in the beginning Track 9: again meh and okay Track 10: like the progression Track 11: once again it was okay Track 12: just like the rest of the album, some good acoustic moments but very slow. Overall: 4/10 very slow and honestly not my favorite. There’s some cool parts but it’s really not my favorite and nothing sticks out much. Kinda just a listen if I want background noise album.
I liked Beck’s earlier albums a lot. I bought this when it was released and was disappointed by its straightforwardness and slowness so didn’t listen to it much as an album. I like a few of the songs when they come up in a shuffle but most are still skips. Listening to it as an album again now - it’s still a chore.
So boring!
אלבום רגוע מאוד... לא טוב להאזין לו בלילה לבן
Going into this album, I was excited as I quite like Beck. However, my excitement quickly wained as this album is quite depressing.
Very good. the melodrama in the lyrics and tone work for me. Just too long
eh
This album is simply incontrovertible proof that Beck is not for me. I'm quite literally going through a breakup right now, and this album is still boring the life out of me. The only songs that moved me even a little bit were Lonesome Tears and Sunday Sun. Everything else felt like a stereotypical sad singer sitting on a stool.
Not the best from Beck but some bangers
Ehhh. Loser was great and probably untoppable. This doesn’t feel essential to me. Not awful. Not bad. Just not … ehhh ….
I bit too melancholic. I cannot relate to his dry desert winds. He should write more songs about grey dull skies and interminable rain.
Nothin really stood out
Boring
This album was so slow. Not a favorite of his for me.
Was not a fan. A really melancholic album.
Dull, dreary, couldn’t get into it
Eh, shortish and chill. Barely fine.
Fine to listen to. A bit boring. Some Nick Drake moments.
okeish
I listened to a lot of Beck's Guero album in my 20s but I have never listened most of Beck's other music. He sounds pretty sad in this one. It's not offensive, just forgettable. Review of Reviews: Yeah he sad. People seem pretty split on this one, too. Best Track: Lost Cause
"Tires to clinically dead" vocals are not my thing.
2 Just not my type of music (or maybe I wasn't in the right state or mood). This music could be played in a cafe in the background, but that's not something I would sit down and carefully and mindfully listen to. Although there were maybe 1-2 songs which were actually good.
Gute Musik, aber trifft nicht meinen persönlichen Geschmack. 4.9/10
OK
Definitely an album you have to be in the mood to listen to....which I wasn't when I played it. Definitely a brilliant album, which actually reminded me of Pink Floyd - I just wasn't it the right maudlin mood.
Oh no not another beck album. pleasant but uninspired
Easy to listen, easy to forget.
Sounds like blur or oasis but not as good as either of those
mopey sadsack shit. dislike
Not a bad album just not a lot going on to keep you there
This sounds like an homage to the singer-songwriter country music of the mid-70s. Not a fan.
Not really my jam. 'Easy listening' that seems to try and be a rip of the Beatles and Donavan.
Eh it's not bad but not my favorite. It has a nice sound but doesn't really go anywhere like the whole thing is slow sad songs. Not for me.
Too slow, too melancholic
Nothing really stood out about it to be honest. Not horrible though I guess. (47%)
Alright, listened to the hits, one I liked.
I’ve never been a big Beck fan. Maybe on a second listen. But a 2 for now.
This feels like it should be something I like - I usually enjoy down-tempo sad boy shit. It just didn't grab me.
Eh. Bland, nowhere near as good as some other Beck albums.
I don't know that i'm that into ballads
got bored
Didn’t do a lot for me
I think this is simply OK. I find it overly produced and congested. It is as if Beck wanted to make a Nick Drake record (who wouldn't) and lost his way. Where Nick Drake nailed melancholy, Beck comes off as mannered.
Sad beck make long ass album
The album was wonderfully dreary and miserable, and put me on a downer. There are a few nice highlights (The Golden Age). I think it was too long, nearly all the songs outstay their welcome and cross over into irritating. I do think he's very good, I just think someone needed to step in and tell him to stop being so smug about his melancholy, and to tighten up the album.
Had not really listened to Beck before but I was not into an hour of misery and sadness. Perhaps if it caught me on a better day I'd have enjoyed it more. I don't think the album sounding so repetitive helps it either.
Vocals are good, instrumentals are moody, and I appreciate most of the album overall. Unfortunately, it's an absolute slog to get through. Nothing particularly interesting or gripping to any one song. Too many times while listening did bury my face in my hands, deeply sighing, wishing I was listening to something else.
A bit dull.
Boring crud with a coupled good moments
Incredibly samey. Incredibly boring. At a push you could say you could listen to a couple of tracks from the album, but there again, they would be instantly forgettable.
Buck
Well, it's not my sound, and I had a hard time trying to focus on the music, while listening to "Sea Change". My favourite part - when I just gave up half way and turned it off, it was like my will to live came back, very euphoric experience. Maybe that's why I will give a good 2 stars for this album, instead of a more deserving 1.
I think that I was intrigued at first because his voice was mellow and soft but I also think that it went on too long and I got real bored real fast and sick of him in general. If the album was much shorter I would have been able to appreciate the singing and music more but it was making me angry how long it went on.
Laconic. Odd. Or rather, not close to what I'd expected. I like a fair amount (most?) of this music when it doesn't sound like a (more) boring Wilco. One of my problems is that Beck's slacker vocals become tiring after a while. Real tiring. Sounding too much like Cobain (not a compliment). I don't know how to feel here - e.g. "Lonesome Tears" has a Radiohead+Elbow+Travis feel to it - all bands that I like, but I'm not fully connecting here. A few years prior to this one he put out "Midnight Vultures" which was a game-changer for me; I loved the modern/electronic/sampling touches he put on those tracks which were a lot more aggressive and upbeat than this platter. Don't want to suggest that he should have put out more of the same but jeez man - listening to this makes me understand how my wife feels when I play too much Radiohead. TL;DR: Too much of the same drudging pace; any one of these tracks would have been great on a better album. Slightly disappointing. 4/10 2 stars.
Feels sad and forgettable
no. not my kind of downer album
Angst! Pity! Melancholy!
Way too long. Way too sad. Not my jam.
Mopey folk Beck is fine if you are into that sort of thing. For my money the real entertainment is DJ Funkypants Beck. 2 stars.
The opening track Golden Age I knew from before and love. So I had high hopes going into this. But the rest of the album is just a well produced bore.
Quelques chansons jolies, mais absolument rien de notable, même après plusieurs écoutes. Sans doute que je passe à côté de Beck, depuis toujours, et ce n'est pas encore aujourd'hui que je vais changer d'avis.
Beck trying to do mellow folk funk.
Vähän laiskaa poppista, en erityisesti välittänyt.
It brings me a heavy heart to give this such a low rating. I loved Odelay when I heard it a few months ago, so I expected to quite like this one, but this album was nothing to me. Everything sounded the same. It was a low energy album, which I did like the tone of generally, but nothing made an impression on me. I get why the album is sad, but I just don't find it interesting to listen to. I guess my favourite song was Paper Tiger.
Best Song: Paper Tiger. The one song that doesn't sound like it's on life support. Worst Song: Side of the Road. So sleepy it doesn't even sound like he wants to be singing it. Overall: Music to overdose to.
Not my favorite. I liked the lyrics and appreciate Beck being a chameleon. This also sounds like a very personal album for him. There were about 3 songs I enjoyed, and the rest were just a little too melancholy and slow for me. I was actively waiting for some songs to be over, 2/5
Kinda lame
There are some pretty moments but overall it's just so droning I can't take it
Fell asleep.
Not so good
- First time listening to a Beck album in full - Thought I would enjoy it more based on other Beck songs I've heard - Found it all a bit dull, maybe it would grow on me if I listened again but I probably won't
Quite boring
Bit repetitive
Eentonige stem, daar ga ik niet zo lekker op.
Hmmm. A bit to weird for me
Yeah no
what happened to the sexx laws loser version of beck? when did he turn into a boring borderline country moaner? this was about as interesting as a nautical love story about SHACK and the painted monster written by AI.
Is that Michael Cera? Q. What does SHACK eat for breakfast? A. Lamb chops
Less this more Odelay
Nope
Lidt trist, simpel men skarp instumentering, god vokal, lidt for langt
Not bad, but I was a little bored after a while.
Nothing really to say, other than I'm not really a Beck fan. I didn't connect with this album and therefore found it boring. The standout tracks were cool though. "Paper Tiger" feels like it's been slapped on with an orchestral filter, which on its own sounds great, but a bit awkward on top of Beck's performance. And "Round the Bend" sounds like a villain movie trailer theme song. 2.25/5
Different from what I expected from Beck, good but I'd prefer other work of his
Started ok but over time got so zoned out of the music that It was just playing on the background without noticing anything
-"Sunday Sun" gets heavy at the end, that was nice -Other wise a very boring album that I just wanted to turn off. It was just in the same kinda sad mood the whole time
The bits that sound like the National are alright
Not all sea changes are positive, and this album—probably my least favorite Beck album—is evidence of that. Beck is at his best when unbridled, and this is too restrained for my taste. My time's much better spent listening to "Odelay" or, my personal favorite, "Midnite Vultures."
Not what I was expecting from a Beck album. Didn't enjoy it all that much. Needed to go back to his first album after as a palate cleanser.
My first experience with Beck was... not great. I absolutely hated 'Odelay,' so I was hesitant when this started. But it wasn't that bad. It wasn't great, but it certainly didn't hit the lows I was expecting. A little too mopey and depressing for my taste, and I still am not a huge fan of Beck's voice, I guess. The longer it went on, though, the less I liked it and the more grating it became. Should have stopped while you were ahead, Beck.
This has a very pleasant sound. And the sonic palette is distinctive relative to most of what else was coming out at this time. But it's not new, it's not that exciting (in fact it's downright soporific), and while it has a more "adult" sound, it's not really that sophisticated. Beck has a really limited vocal range too - a pleasant voice, but very limited. Serious question - if I'm in the market for adult alternative soft rock, is this really better than Five For Fighting?
This is not like what I've heard from Beck. It's very mellow but sad and dreary. Would have to be in the right mood to listen again.
I dont know, I was kind of bored? Music was good, but nothing really grabbed my attention in two listens. Maybe future listens will change my mind 2/5
Some of the music is good, but his singing doesn't do anything for me.
Autumn is starting to kick in, I'm a bit cold and a bit hungover. This album does a great job amplifying these feelings. It's decent but not outstanding
Beck doing his best Nick Drake impression. It's not bad, just a bit too sad for me right now.
Nokon fine sangar, men stort sett ikkje fengande.
Hmmm I knew beck had this in him but an entire album? Was not expecting that. It's a nice listen. I'm not blown away or anything. It was good background noise. I like the wilder beck to come. Give me some devils haircut, and looser over this.
Not for me
A big departure from his normal sound, it didn't quite resonate with me like his other music has. Slow, melancholy, and hard to enjoy. Not a fan.
I don't know who this music is for but it's certainly not for me. Mostly bored
+ The Golden Age (4 STARS) + Paper Tiger (2 STARS) - This one weirds me out for some reason + Guess I'm Doing Fine (3 STARS) - Reminds me of "Let's Duet" from Walk Hard, but otherwise fine. + Lonesome Tears (2 STARS) + Lost Cause (3.5 STARS) - Not bad. Give me more catchier choruses/repetition, Beck! + End of the Day (2 STARS) + It's All In Your Head (3 STARS) + Round the Bend (1 STAR) - The orchestral background sounds like a drama scene in a soap opera. The vocals are too slow and don't match. + Already Dead (2 STARS) + Sunday Sun (3 STARS) - Sunday suuuuu-u-u-unn is catchy + Little One (2 STARS) - Uneventful + Side of the Road (2 STARS) OVERALL (2.5 STARS): So boring. There was nothing catchy in this which would be fine if the lyrics weren't pretty cliche and simple.
Scientology is a cult. Album is a bore, Beck has better albums imo.
Slow, spacey, sleep-inducing. I listened to this on a late night drive and I don't remember anything about it except that I took a little interest in track 8, 'Round the Bend'. However, that's just because of its atmospheric similarity to Nick Drake's 'River Man'. I'll have to revisit this, but for now I can only award it a two.
Not for me
Pop excesivamente suave y sin muchas pretensiones. Ritmo muy plano. Canciones un tanto anodinas. Buena voz, pero muy falto de chispa
this makes me want to Sea Change to a better Beck album
Listened Before? N This one was kind of boring. I've been listening to Beck's stuff off and on since his first album. None of them have ever done anything for me like that first one. I think I'll pass on this one. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Lost Cause
Beck var bättre före han började använda stråkar och försökte laga vacker musik. Gillar inte heller hans sångröst lika mycket på denna skiva som på andra jag hört från honom.
Well produced and very boring.
Nyt oli pliisu setti ja levyllinen eri asteisia balladeja. Ei jatkoon.
Tylsä
skipped my way through all the songs
Good grief they picked the most boring Beck album. Almost nothing musically interesting and almost all the songs sound the same. This is far inferior to my favorite Beck: One Foot in the Grave (the deluxe version has the better version of It's All in Your Mind).
Like beck, men like ikkje at paper tiger e ein dårlig sample av cargo culte
Synes Hyperspace e bedre, men da e kanskje mest fordi da har et kult cover. Becken blir litt for tam for meg, hilsen person som bare hørre på ambient og drone metal. Og wtf så dårlig streak me har no. Kan benytta anledningen til å informera om at eg ville ha oppgradert Morrison Hotel til 5 om den hadde komt på nytt. Har hørt på da konstant i 2 veke no, og har lyst å kjøpa ein Gibson G-101
Sea Change Beck. Hope Change Back.
Beetje te braaf en zelfs een tikkeltje saai, voor Beck begrippen.
Was ok… felt songs seemed depressed
I couldn't wait for this to be over. Just sad and boring and depressing and all sounded the same. 3/10
i cant stand this stuff. 1-2 bc i just didnt listen really.
Interesting. Beck from 2002. Hadn't heard any of this before, and while not exactly objectionable, Beck really is one morose motherfucker right here. I'm sure if you'd just been sacked, your other half had dumped you for your mum and your best mate decided that they'd rather take up stoat farming in the Hebrides than talk to you again, this would be an ideal soundtrack. But for a nice run out on a May evening when you just wanted to put a few miles under your feet - it just won't do at all.
turned this off after 1 minute to listen to charli xcx / rating n/a belongs on this list n/a
I've seen Beck in concert twice, but literally wasn't familiar with any song on this album. Which makes sense because this music is a little more mellow than most of the songs he plays live. Completely listenable, but just a little on the sleepy side for me.
A lot of good songs, but I can only like it so much with a boring voice like Beck’s. 2.5/5
This one was a real journey for me. Ups and downs throughout and not sure I was ready for an album from Beck which seemed to be dealing with a break-up. Some great tracks such as 'Paper Tiger' and 'It's All in Your Mind'. However, for me, Beck's musical ventures into the pop genre are much more to my liking. Favorite track: Paper Tiger
Nije me nikad privlačila njegova glazba, a sad znam zašto. Inače mi se sviđaju ovakve stvari al mi je ovaj album bio jako dosadan. Nijedan trenutak koji iskače. Tu eres un perdedor, Beck.
Didn't enjoy. Very slow and depressing. Another day I may have been more in the mood but not today.
Beck sad, sad boring, sad not always boring, beck sad boring 2
This isnt a great introduction to Beck. Songs started to sound the same about halfway through.
trööööök
Why is this guy here? I mean, there are thousands of artists that sound exactly the same as he does. These songs are just... normal. Nothing more than that.
I wanted to like this album so much. The instruments and the flow of the music were gorgeous, but I just couldn't stand the singing. In most songs, Beck seems disinterested in his own music.
I never listened to much Beck purposefully before but he has a big reputation for sad tunes. On listening to a whole album, I'm not overly impressed. Whilst listening I was thinking "I bet I'd love this if I had some kind of nostalgic ties to it". It is a mixture of sounds which I really like and was really into as a teenager. Alas, I have no such ties and found it a bit dull. Add on to that the fact that Lost Cause made me mad, (listening to the words I couldn't help but think what an arrogant little twerp, get in the bin), and you have yourself 2 stars.
I didn't listen to this properly so I feel like I didn't give it a proper go, I might go back and listen again or I might not. Not sure if it matters. Probably nobody will read this now anyway, not that that's the point but you know. If you are reading this, next time you see me say 'lemons and strawberries' then tap my right shoulder with your left arm and I'll give you a tenner.
I thought I was going to like this and I'm pretty sad to say I found in plain Jane boring! Just a bit wishy washy and nothing stood out
Does not grab me at all
Guess I don't get Beck. Dull
This could have been a great 30 minute album or maybe an EP. A lot of the songs just run too long to be so similar.
Slow calm whiney
It was too one-note for me. Lost Cause was a good track though, I liked it. I zoned out of all the sadness and only noticed that it was over when Spotify automatically went into Beercan off of Mellow Gold. I thought "there's my Beck!" and I was happy again.
Rock de cantautor. Me ha parecido un tostonazo.
Meh. A lot of the songs sounded the same and didn’t contain enough emotion. 4/10
Too slow
Beck és un dels artistes més mimats per la crítica... i més sobrevalorats. Ho va ser amb 'Odelay', que és un disc fantàstic, però lluny de ser una obra maestra; ho va ser amb 'Mutations', que té alguns temes increïbles, però ja... i ho va tornar a ser amb 'Sea Change', condecorat com una de les millors obres nascudes de ruptura de relació. Va, home. Comparar el disc amb un génere (?) que ha donat obres tan icòniques com 'Blood on the Tracks', 'Rumours' o 'Shoot Out the Lights', pero posar els primers exemples que em venen al cap, ha de ser una broma... el disc es deixa escoltar, és agradable... i poc més...
I know a LITTLE about Beck, I know he's a bit of an alternative darling, and the few songs of his I know are from the early 90s... this could go either way. Ok first song is pretty cool. It's a bit more downbeat than I expected, at least compared to his earlier stuff. Not exactly an award winner imo, and it goes FAR too long for something that never really kicks into overdrive. Final thoughts: this would have been a 3 if he'd known when to rein it in a bit, but this just draaaaagged. And that's after a genuinely good opening track. 2/5.
Boring shit
2.5
Bit dull and tedious. Not my Beck
This is generally considered to be one of Beck's best, but I don't get it. I've heard very little Beck, but like the rap and samples. This was almost all acoustic. No turntables and a microphone.
Didn't really like this one other than "Lost Cause". Really depressing stuff.
too melancholy for me. every song sounds the same. 2 stars
never really liked beck and this didnt change my mind 2 - not for me but doesn't hurt my ears.
Ned meins
Pretty mellow and not really what I was expecting.
Favourite Song: Lost Cause
Yawn. Pretty much what I expected after seeing the album cover. The chorus' and outro for Lonesome Tears were pretty strong though. Best track: Lonesome Tears.
I've been aware of Beck since I was a kid. He always won Best International Male at the Brits and MTV awards but Id never really listened to him or knew much of his stuff. After listening to this album I'm pretty much in the same position. Insipid, melodramatic melancholia.
Paper Tiger, Lonesome Tears, Album quand même très chiant
Didn't really click for me.
The sound is okay, but its just SO SLOW. It is not a great album to listen to the day after DST kicks in. I did not get through the whole album for fear of falling asleep. Its salvages a 2 star because it is not bad musically, I can tell the vocals and instrumentation is pretty good despite the sleep inducing overall product
I really like Beck’s “ Mellow Gold” album. And compared to that, he really nailed the Title here, but that’s about it. “Sea Change” is a sea change from that album. While I loved the guitars, keyboards, melodies and crazy lyrics from Mellow Gold, this album counters with a lot a benign dull. Nothing here to see or hear, please just move along.
Ok
too slow, expected more
Me aburre. Beck tiene discos interesantes pero este no es uno de ellos.
Sea Change by Beck is an album I didn't see change all that much. At this point in Beck's career, I think people probably had a specific image of him being experimental/poppy and not so slideguitary, so maybe this album came as a surprise. However, this album reminded me most of his first album Stereopathetic Soulmanure, a few songs which you could mix into this album musically without effort. Once again, in the review for this album, the 1001 book prints some lines that make it sound like this album shouldn't be in the list > Certainly the lyrics lack a little bite (he rhymes "before" with "before" on "End Of The Day"), while the vocals range from tired to clinically dead.
Some nice bits but a bit flat over an album
Fuck... this is a depressed Beck and it sucks all the fun out of what usually is a fun listen.
I didn't get it....:-(
Den här är för dyster och deprimerande för min smak. Beck har andra mycket bättre skivor tycker jag. Detta album inspirerades ju av separationen från hans flickvän. Inget positivt album direkt.
Boring. 4/10
Beck...
mellow. a bit depressing.
This was better than anticipated but an extremely tough finish. Like one long depressing break-up. Not something I would go back to but exceeded my low expectations going into it.
Was boring
Nice guitar music, but fucking depressing
Too slow. Too moody. Was not a fan of this album.
No "bad" songs on this album but also none that stand out at all. Kind of boring and bland. Not much to see here
meh
There’s nothing particularly wrong with it... I probably wouldn’t listen again. Unless I felt like listening to something really boring. Then I’d probably listen to it again. I actually gave up after track 9 and listened to Jazz Samba again instead. That was great.
Really didn't do much for me
Av alla Beck-album jag hört är detta det i särklass sämsta. Ointressant.
Tylsää
As much as the reviews hyped this up, I was quite disappointed. They say this is considered his best work, how in the hell did he beat out beyonce for AOTY.
The instrumentation and production are cool and all but I can't stand his voice. He sounds bored and honestly he gives me the heebie jeebies. Kind of just snoozercore, boring. Zzz sleep me go. Sucks
Why is it so boring?
2/10 Not the type of music I like
God I don't think I'll ever get the appeal of Beck - is it a generational thing like John Mayer and the Dave Matthews Band where you had to be there to get it? Just mumbling white men left and right. I went into this with a positive mindset but my god do I hate this album I could barely get through it. The music in itself is beautiful but his voice, the mumbling, the lyrics god it's like a little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothing. I don't know why this made me so mad. I initially didn't dislike it as much but as the day went n it grated me more and more.
So incredibly boring and awful
just play loser
Sadly this was pretty boring. Every song sounds the same, and not particularly good.
This is my second Beck album in as many months on this generator, and my review is the same as it was last time. Not for me. Not even remotely.
en 2 mots : terriblement ennuyant, hors de cette liste !
Habe es probiert. Bin beim Hören eingeschlafen.
Not really my type of song be some of the song do sound good just wasn’t my style of music
Slow, uninteresting and doesn't go anywhere. Sounds very samey all the way through. Repetitive and boring. 1.
cheeeeks
Load of bollocks
buns
No me fusto
This geezer has an annoying face. The album sucks too.
Dreary, dreary indie. The songs are dull and Beck's voice and vocal style does absolutely nothing to add any sort of interest. 'Round The Bend' sounds like it has a strong Nick Drake influence, but lacks any of Nick's charm. I really did not like this one
Ah well.
Boring
нє це шомь ніто
Didn’t do much for me, and was expecting much more I like his early stuff - this was a bit nothing?
Not good
