Title: Atmospheric Perfection
Review: Very rarely have I bought an album from listening to it for free. You know what I mean -- those stores that allow customers to preview CD's. But this was the first time I bought an album from listening to the first sentence of the first song. I knew I had to have this one; the mood and the atmosphere are dead-on perfect. Yes, Sea Change is sad, moody, even depressing. It's also nothing short of brilliant.This is the perfect road companion while driving, the mood-setter for a date, the background to a California sunrise. Listening to Beck lament about love lost, gained, and lost again, over subtle guitar licks and orchestral movements, the listener can't help but take a deep breath, relate, and move on to the next track. This is not Odelay nor the self-conscious Midnight Vultures. This is as bare and naked as you will ever hear an artist get, and it's simply breathtaking.
