That's an interesting point. It's difficult not to judge an artist against his past works, which is obviously a huge disadvantage for Beck, one of my favorite artists to emerge in the '90s ... But I still wouldn't give "Modern Guilt" a higher mark than C plus. “If it wasn’t Beck I think it would garner more than 2.5 stars” … That’s an interesting point.

I'm a Beck fluffer; I really love his white boy funk/hip hop, but I'm okay with departures. Though I must admit I can't make it through Sea Change all the way, but there are some truly great songs on the album. To me it's an average, but uninspired take on psychedelic rock. If it wasn't Beck I think it would garner more than 2.5 stars. But numbers sucks, and letters rule so I'll roll out a B minus. I really wish I didn’t agree with you as much as I do.
