But the presence of Nigel Godrich--who produced both the most beloved (MUTATIONS) and underrated (SEA CHANGES) of Beck's albums--insures that this isn't going to be a one-note affair. Godrich shapes the more pop-leaning songs into low-gloss gems, exercising both imagination and restraint: the intensity of "New Round" comes not from big, fancy production but from multiple layers of the same insistent vocal line. "Think I'm in Love" is a sticky little garage-rocker with a hyper bass line, while "Strange Apparition" is a bit of Laurel Canyon folk-rock amidst all the funk & crunk. It's reassuring to know that on his seventh full-length album, neither Beck nor his best collaborator have run out of fresh ideas.

This set includes a 15-song CD album 3 years in the making, as well as a DVD featuring homemade videos for each songs shot in-studio during the actual sessions. Each set comes with a blank package with one of 4 collectible sticker sheets specially designed by European and American artists and representative of the unique Beck asethetic.

Over a decade of criss-crossing genres makes it easy to forget that Beck's first big hit was, essentially, a rap song. It's not surprising, then, that about half of the songs on 2006's THE INFORMATION are some shade of hip-hop dance-floor funk. And while no one's going to mistake Beck for Young Buck, he brings his own brand of intelligent, laid-back confidence to every track, from the stuttering brilliance of "1000 BPM" to the lolling funk of "Elevator Music" to the lo-fi breakbeat grooves of "Cellphone's Dead" to the 10 minutes of atmospheric chill-out that close the album.

Personnel: David Campbell , DJ Z-Trip, Greg Kurstin, Harvey Mason, Sr. , James Gadson, Jason Falkner, Joey Waronker, Justin Stanley, Alex Acuña, Nigel Godrich, Roger Joseph Manning, Jr., Sean Davis, Smokey Hormel, Steve Black, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Brian LeBarton.

Spin (p.97) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Beck's twitchy pop-funk has rarely come across as this confident. Consider THE INFORMATION his reanimation."
Spin (p.61) - Ranked #10 in Spin's "The 40 Best Albums of 2006" -- "[A] talking-points primer on just about every phase of his career..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.68) - "[A] swarming, psychedelic set...It's a sonic tour de force, and Beck seems comfortable in the info-storm..." -- Grade: A-
Q (p.138) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n other-worldly, psychedelic hip hop mix..."

This is a great album. Don't get me wrong. Although it does seem that Beck is once again diving deep into the realm of song writing rather than jumping on the band wagon of pop hits (although when he does seem to get a "pop song" it usually seems to be by total accident). The lyrics are very nice, Beck once again demonstrating that he is in fact a great artist, and equally so a musician. This album very melodic, something that you'd listen to if you had a really long drive a head of you, very much worth buying.
