A Look Back at 2008: Beck

Seeing as Fiscal Year 2009 (or FY09 if you prefer) for many companies has just come to a close, I figured some sort of reflection is in order. While a fuller FY09 retrospective may be arriving at TSRE in the next couple of weeks, I just wanted to share my continued love of Beck's Modern Guilt from FY09 that was also in my top 5 albums of 2008. In a fiscal year of massive remixes and synth explosions, Beck stayed minimal and created an engrossing guitar album. Both introspective and post apocalytpic, Modern Guilt addresses today's society, while sounding like it was recorded an eon ago. These songs have such great rhythms and catchiness that once I put on the album, it is staying on for a while. Beck has also been reissuing a bunch of his older albums recently, so check those out as well. Have a great summer weekend and listen to some awesome tunes!
