    Ugh… sounds compressed. Had hoped for more. Why is ten words better than nine?

      Very disappointed in my copy, side two was full of pops on first play. I gave it good cleaning but these pops on new reissues never seem to go away like an older record that needs cleaning. I’m also not that impressed with sound, there’s no separation in the sound stage. The mastering is very one dimensional. I don’t understand the praise for the sound quality, I actually think the regular cd sounds better.

        Every international version I see uses cover A. Were covers B, C, and D released in any official capacity outside the United States?

          Mine has a HDCD layer. Sounds ethereal. I believe all copies of this release have the HDCD; but there is no mention I can see on the disc or packaging; my player shows the disc or file type. I've played the red book layer on a "superior" cd player and much prefer the HDCD!

            This album sounds kind of like Beck just doing his folk-country thing at first, you're like, "cool. this is a bit different."
            Then you lose someone close to you, have a breakup, or any other number of terrible things..
            THIS is where the impact of this record is felt the most. It takes a lot for me to cry but "Lost Cause" can get me crying like a little girl if I'm sad enough. The track "It's All in Your Mind" dates back to 1993-94 (when Beck did his "One Foot in the Grave" record, which is for the most part very similar to this one, and my favorite album of his), but it appears here, rewritten and honestly much better. Just put on "Lonesome Tears" after the love you thought would last forever gets destroyed, and be ready to weep. A lot. This is an extremely emotive record, and my ex hated when I would put it on when I was depressed, as she couldn't handle it. This isn't a radio-friendly "two turntables and a microphone" kind of record. This is a straight-out BROKEN man putting his feelings to tape. The production is amazing, done by Nigel Godrich (who is famous for his work with Radiohead, and he did Beck's album before this one, "Mutations"). The string arrangements really hit you close to home, and are usually what gets me crying. This record is absolutely amazing. 11/10.

              This was and is truly a great album. Magnificent music. Singer-songwriter album. Unlike other pop oriented Beck albums. Morning Phase tried something similar but I did not find that successful. It was wary and boring. But this one is perfect. Goldfrapp did a similar thing with their Seventh Tree album where they changed their style to singer-songwriter. 5/5
