Beck's two turntables and a microphone have been shelved (temporarily, I presume) in favor of an eccentric and visionary experimentation. Beck has always had his roots firmly grounded in old country and folk, of course there's still a compelling retro edge to his acoustic-based songs.
Track listing:
01 The Golden Age
02 Paper Tiger
03 Guess I'm Doing Fine
04 Lonesome Tears
05 Lost Cause
06 End Of The Day
07 It's All In Your Mind
08 Round The Bend
09 Already Dead
10 Sunday Sun
11 Little One
12 Side Of The Road

Unlike the party-hearty lyrics in the past, Sea Change is sculpted to a soft simplicity befitting the bruised tenderness of a broken heart. Some of the terms being thrown around about his album are "sad," introspective," and this being his "break-up album." Sea Change is much more than this though. This is the most honest and exposed Beck has ever been. There is no faux hip-hop stream of consciousness here, this man is an open wound. The work herein is beautiful and marks some of the most crafted and sophisticated lyrics he has ever written.
