#1141 Beck - Morning Phase

A beautiful album, powerfully lush and huge and booming and bold and swaying, aurora borealis rendered in sound, with Beck James Earl Jonesing from the heavens. The production's out of this world, outdoing Sea Change in nearly every way.

But it finds its gear and sticks with it, and by the end the whole thing has gotten a little indistinct, a little boring. I was waiting for a blossoming, some notion of album flow, something Beck hasn't had any knack for in a decade 3.5/5
