Ohmygod! If you love beautiful things, and your heart has leanings for music and art of a quiet, plaintive, heartfelt bent, then please, please, please buy this album! Not since the Cure's DISINTEGRATION have I put on a CD that won't come off until I become saturated with the sound. On the way to work this morning, I rolled up the windows and kept turning up Beck until my world became flooded with gorgeous waves of liquid sadness. I've never experienced a musician who was so utterly fearless. The result is not wallowing like some would have you believe, but rather cathartic and uplifting. I wouldn't trade it for anything right now...
