Beck is seriously one of my absolute favorite artists.  He is one of the most ecclectic, rounded, and random artists that I have listened to.  This album, The Information, was released two years ago, and the only song that I heard on the radio from it was “I Think I’m In Love”.  However, like most Beck albums, the whole album is very listenable and is a lot of fun to listen to.  My favorite track is “No Complaints”, and should be the song that you’re listening to now on my player.

Beck has a history of doing really odd things with his releases.  With his 2004 album, Guero, he gave a master tape of all the songs to various groups to re-mix and released it soon after Guero was released.  With The Information he decided to let the fans choose their own cover art and included 4 pages of stickers to us on the blank cover for the album… kinda weird, but also kinda cool!  Another “unique” thing that he did with this album was to make music videos for all of the songs using fairly low-budget means.  So when you buy the album, you get a disc of the songs, a DVD of the videos, 4 pages of stickers and the booklet of linear notes.  What a deal, eh?

Seriously, give the songs a listen and learn to love the music by this truly unique and talented artist!
