..couple more thoughts on "Colors"...………..
When it was first released, I had my doubts about it. I then thought that if I were to own it, I'd prefer the 45rpm version. At the high cost, I put it on hold. I recently got a deal I could not pass up.
Will it be my go-to Beck lp? No. I did enjoy it however and feel good about the 45rpm pressing being the better sounding version. Fortunately, my copy came in, in perfect condition, beautiful packaging, no creases in the jacket, vinyl very flat and pretty noise-free. This all adds up to ultimate end-user satisfaction.

Beck "No Distraction"
Beck is somewhat a musical chameleon in that he's willing to explore. Listening to "No Distraction", I think he's let Bruno Mars influence him somewhat?

@slaw - I hope you enjoy "High Hopes". I have a fondness for it because I saw that tour w/Tom Morello. I can't say every cut on the record is excellent. However "American Skin (41 Shots), The Ghost of Tom Joad and Dream Baby Dream" are all standouts IMHO, and were some of the highlights of the live show.
Enjoy! |
Angus & Julia Stone "Yellow Brick Road"
